MY LIFE & ARTISTIC APPROACH

 

 

Wife to my high school sweetheart. Mama to two wildly fun kids and our cat Monte, who acts like he owns the place. We live in Mission, BC. Surrounded by trees, toy explosions, and the kind of beautiful chaos i never want to forget.


Ive always taken photos but before creating this business of mine I worked in the automotive industry prepping and painting vehicles and even spent my fair share making milkshakes in a 50’s diner. Now I document stories big and small.


I photograph the way I live, with feeling, with heart and usually with a bit of hair stuck to my lens (thanks, Monte). I love film for the same reason, it makes you slow down. Pay attention. Wait for those authentic memories.


This work is personal and I bring all of me into it, the heart, the humour, the chaos and the calm.


If we ever meet, expect a warm hug, a lot of laughter and Probley me asking, " Wait, do you hear this song? it's SO good!"
