Squamish Adventure Style
"You don't need someone one to tell you about a cool place, or do research on the internet to find adventure. All you need to do is go out and explore, that's the point anyways." I've always been the adventurous and curious type. As a young girl I was picking up any...
The Circus is Coming.
Recently I decided to make the leap into summer and put my extra blanket into storage. As I did this I picked up my Organic Climbing Briefcase pad, which makes a perfect seat in dry weather, and my classic red metal toolbox. I was headed down to the beach to meet...

29 Years of Looking Back
This Year is For You Thank You Today I enter the last year of my twenties, and what a beautiful day to start a new year it is. Snow fell in Squamish making today brightly overcast, dry, and white. A cold, calm, and beautiful day couldn’t be more appreciated than today...
Capturing Rain
After enjoying the driest winter in memorable history, the rains have finally arrived in full force here in the Squamish valley. Not one to let the perpetually dark days and sounds of a downpour keep me from getting outside I decided to try something new. My theory...
A Mid-Winter’s Summer in Squamish
A Photographer's Perspective During the winter Squamish is typically very wet being that it is nestled within a valley surrounded by coastal temperate rainforest. Having grown up on Vancouver Island I find this comforting, and welcome it as a yearly challenge. I often...
A Sunny Disposition
Lately I've been finding it easier, and easier to keep a smile on my face, and on those around me. Little things that used to drive me mad don't even blip on my radar, and even the bigger things like breaking my nose barely register. The more I find myself smiling and...
