It felt SO GOOD to take my camera out today! Since I graduated my 2-year photography program in June, gave birth to Severn in July and have been busy being a new mom, I haven't really had a chance to use my camera. We took Severn Fawn on her first official hike today at The… Continue reading Tree Museum, Gravenhurst – Severn’s First Hike

My Beautiful Belly Birth
It's not what I had planned. To be honest, it was the last thing I wanted was to have a c-section. I had read so many powerful stories of women having natural births, and within their own homes. I felt so much empowerment to be able to make such a personal decision to have my… Continue reading My Beautiful Belly Birth
Garden Photography
Last Sunday my husband took me down to the Toronto Cactus and Succulent Show at Allan Gardens Conservatory. Unfortunately, the lineup to get into the sale part of the show was too long for this 8.5 month pregnant woman, so we just wandered around inside the conservatory and surprisingly I didn't buy any plants! I… Continue reading Garden Photography
The Last Child in the Woods
This project is about The Last Child in the Woods. The kind of childhood where a kid can play outside unsupervised to build forts, hunt squirrels, split wood and make maple syrup is slowly disappearing with the rise of “helicopter parenting.” Not having a parent pay extremely close attention to a child’s experiences allows a… Continue reading The Last Child in the Woods
Medium is the Message Project
My final project for school. I had to create an image from a list of categories to print in a different medium. I shot a kitchen so I decided to print it on a bamboo cutting board. I thought that since so much of the kitchen's components are wood, it made sense to print it… Continue reading Medium is the Message Project
Mars & Venus Project
I created two thought-provoking images that challenge gender stereotypes in media and society in the form of product (for Mars) and portrait (for Venus). I think it so important to teach children about gender equality at a young age so that they grow up to be accepting and compassionate. Not only would they be sensitive… Continue reading Mars & Venus Project
Video Killed the Radio Star Project
Another awesome school project! I had to create new album artwork for an assigned album by my instructor. I had to reflect on the genre of music, the decade it was made and the tone of the album. I had to include: album name, artist name, track list, label, applicable logos, any credits, musician list… Continue reading Video Killed the Radio Star Project
‘What’s on the Cover?’ Photography Project

I had to create my own magazine cover including all necessary text including: Masthead Selling line Dateline Main image Main cover line Cover lines (3) Left third Bar code The theme for my magazine is 'The Canadian Outdoors', which is also the title. What is more Canadian than having a winter… Continue reading ‘What’s on the Cover?’ Photography Project
Monochromatic Photography Project
This was such a fun project! When I found out that I had to put together a monochromatic image, I knew exactly what I was going to do. Isn't there a saying about a dog and it's owner looking alike? I have taken photographs of my husband and dog, Banjo, before and knew that the tones… Continue reading Monochromatic Photography Project
Star Trail Photography
Shooting star trails has been high on my list of photography-related things to try. I could never really wrap my head around setting my camera to bulb and leaving my shutter open for a length of time (long enough to record star trails). I tried the intervalometer method and did most of the work in… Continue reading Star Trail Photography
