Why buy an image to hang on your walls when you could become the custom and one of a kind art you look at everyday? This is exactly the intention behind my conceptual fine art sessions. These sessions are slow and intentional. You come into my studio with concept ideas and together we turn your […]

To worship with abandon means to fully let go of pretenses; to come to the feet of the divine and allow yourself to be seen. That is what I experienced at the Wild Roses Festival in July. Women came together and removed the masks they wear in the world and let each other touch the […]

For a long time now I’ve been wondering if perhaps I’m just not a family photographer. I find almost no poetry in taking a family to a location they have never been to and photographing them in ways that speak very little about who they actually are. I find it downright boring as fuck. Even […]

Last weekend I went with my friend to Calgary for a night of art, relaxation, and friendship. While there, I was love punched with some insight about my country snobbery. A rural girl at heart, I’ve always wondered how people survive in cities. How do you cultivate a relationship with Nature when you are surrounded […]
