switch cities auction for haiti . art prints
So as the stories unfold daily about the immense suffering being experienced in Haiti, my heart has grown in proportional capacity… in my ability to experience empathy, compassion, and also gratitude. Living in Vancouver, the thought of an earthquake is always at the back of my mind, especially now that I have a child… the reality is that much more vivid for me as I see images pouring in of the state of things on that distant island. My own home could look very similar in an instant, as the fault line here is “long overdue” for a major quake. So while I know I cannot live in what-ifs, I can live in the reality of the present moment… and this moment needs our attention and compassion.
Many photographers from around the globe are rallying and offering what they can in a worldwide swell of compassion and giving. What would have left us feeling helpless and confused as to what to do even a decade ago, now due in part to the power of social media, we are able to create something meaningful and broadcast it to the world instantly, and see results in a very short amount of time.
Switch Cities, a collective of amazing photographers, has organized a print auction to raise money for relief efforts in Haiti, and I’ve got a print listed. It’s their second one in as many weeks. The last raised more than $2600!! It’s the perfect way to contribute to the efforts… Donate money and take a work of art home. Win Win! So head over and place a bid… it’ll help me sleep better.
shea and osheen . wedding
I have many beautiful memories saved up from this day… like the smiles on your faces as you press your heads together for what seemed like eternity during your traditional ceremony… the artistic cufflinks with images of an older generation… the way you both laugh and smile and seem so at ease with one another… or the look on your father’s face as he drove the boat up to the dock to drop you both to greet your guests at the reception. So many beautiful moments that I’m sure are in the hearts of your friends and family who were there to celebrate with you. It was truly a gift to share in the love…

She’s lovingly called Coco by her mama and daddy… here’s another glimpse of the newborn work I’ve been doing. I’ve been passionately shooting away, and working on my rebranding for my studio, and look forward to showing a larger collection soon. Also, I’m going to be looking for a few maternity and newborn models soon, so if you’re expecting to give birth in February, then check back soon for details on a ‘casting call’ session!

- I just discovered your work through the Develop group on facebook. I saw a comment where someone was raving about your work and had to check it out myself. I can see why they rave! You images are absolutely stunning. I don't know how you do it, but when I look at your images, its like every distraction in the world ceases to exist and all I can do is stare at that photograph and I desperately want to know more about the story being told in every picture. Superb.

C .
When C contacted me to do a portrait session for her I jumped out of my seat… C was one of my midwives last year. She cared for me and my baby so well, and was one of the reasons I felt confident and sure of everything all through my pregnancy. I felt loved and cared for by all of my team at The Midwifery Group. This is one of the ways I’ve been able to give back… C is moving through her own transition time in her life right now, and wanted to document this moment and the immense transformative power it carries for her. So just as she helped me through my own transition, I hope I’ve been able to play a small part in hers… A and C and I love you so dearly. Beautiful C…
