“GMC Base from Alex… I’d like to stay here please” 🏔️

I’ve had the immense privilege of spending three of the last four weeks in the North Selkirks, as an explorer, climber, and for the first time as a hiking guide with the Alpine Club of Canada.

Every day feels like waking up in this immense fortress filled with treasure and mystery: incredible geology, formidable landscapes and the opportunity to seek out new routes, all alongside groups of phenomenal humans.

These images are from the first week of July. We spent the week on recon missions, weathering cycles of rain, snow and hail, and very much appreciating the escape from everyday “noise”.

I have tons more to share from this and the following weeks, but truthfully find myself resistant to social media in this moment, as I always do following extended time in the mountains. And I think that’s a healthy feeling. Grounded, or re-centred in a way.

With that said, very excited to share more from the following weeks soon.

“Do not disturb” for birthdays 🙃

Friends and family get mad sometimes but they know I love and appreciate them and their love… I just want a day of peace 🤷‍♀️

Although it doesn’t really solve the problem because the influx of messages happens when you get back into reception lol.

I can’t be the only one, right?

POV: you found the ⛰️emoji

A personal fave from a classic ridge. This was my first time up here, you can tell from the shot I’m in that I was *particularly* excited. Even had the moon perfectly align with one of the nearby summits, love when that happens.

Frames 5/6 in collab with Sarah Lyndsay 💛

Ps. How cute is that cloud just vibing over top of the summit?

Dusk in Banff National Park 🌄

Photos from a familiar place; I’ve actually been up here more times than I can count. This was one of those cloudy, overcast days where you weren’t quite sure what sunset would bring, but either way you were appreciative to be up there, level with a sea of surrounding summits.

We were gifted just a few minutes of golden light as the sun peeked between the clouds, with a touch of glow on the western aspects. Subtly stunning.

Oh and the moon shot I think was from the night before, but it went well with this set haha. I pulled off the highway for that one 😂

PS. I posted a spring version of this a few months back… which one do you like best? 👀

When I say blue is my favourite colour:

I can’t quite explain why. Maybe it’s the calm to my chaos; the cool to my fire.

Maybe it represents the depth of what we can’t quite understand or fathom: the expanse of the skies and oceans, the atmosphere, the flow of time.

Curiosity, in a colour, perhaps.

These are just a few of my favourite blues, photographed across the Coast Mountains and Canadian Rockies 💙

Knowing your value as a creative 💭

As artists we often question our value, our pricing, how people perceive the “worth” of our art or services…

But there’s nothing more powerful than reflecting on what it actually take to do what we do: the knowledge; the climbs; the gear and training; the field experience; the unspoken nuances and creative vision of it all.

Even in creating my prints, I reminded myself of everything that went into that process:

• the idea & the planning
• the early alarms & long drives
• the big days of hiking and climbing
• the game of luck for weather & conditions
• the technical craft to capture it right
• the hours of editing & colour work
• the test prints & proofing until it’s perfect
• the choice of archival, museum-grade paper
• the printer I love and trust with the details
• the personal touch of signing & numbering

“If you want lower price, seek lower value” is a respectful way of saying “if you don’t see the value of my work, look elsewhere”. It took me a long time to learn that, and I’m still working on it.

Do you still question your value as an artist?

I don’t believe any of my photos are “perfect”…

But that’s never been the point. The point is to get out and experience the mountains, and if I’m lucky, translate some of that feeling of awe and curiosity through a lens.

There’s perfect moments though, where perfection is just a small, understated detail that feels big. Like the perfectly calm lake that makes a beautiful mirror of the mountain it frames. Or like the few minutes where the moon rises and perfectly nestles in the nook of a ridge.

Anyway these are a bunch of images I quite like. I hope you like em too. 🫶

PS. Yes I realize the photo of me is holding a film camera but all of these in the set were shot on 5d mkIV
