10 True Facts about me
I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and picked up my moms film camera at a young age. Through this I quickly developed a keen eye for complex beauty in the natural world. I also believe this may be the first selfie I ever captured.
I studied professional photography for two laborious years at Langara College and received the Professional Photographers' Association of B.C. Scholarship.

I have had the pleasure of volunteering my skills to non-profit organizations in Ghana and Sri Lanka where I documented the impacts of their projects which focus on empowering women and youth.
I have a weird addiction to swimming in ice cold glacier fed lakes and argue that you absolutely must always jump in that lake at the top of a long hike.
I have been rock climbing for 13+ years
both competitively and recreationally. It’s one of the most important pieces of my life aside from photography.
I have a pretty brutal fear of heights but also live for moments that challenge my fears.
I thoroughly enjoy growing my own food when possible and take great pleasure in constructing meals based entirely from food in my garden.
If you ask me what my favourite thing to photograph is,
that answer will probably change every time you ask. It doesn’t matter what genre of photography I am shooting, what is always most important to me is that I distill the essence, mission, beauty and personality of any scene.
“It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera.”
