Photographer : Author : Speaker Photography provides me with a therapeutic escape from the challenges of living with mental illness. Through the lens, I can immerse myself in the present moment, finding beauty in the world around me and creating something meaningful.

It’s a Great Day

All set up at Bell Arte Camers annual MEGA tent sale. It’s going to be a great day promoting photography and Mental Wellness!!! AND… doing a little promoting for my sponsor Cotton Carrier.

A Love Letter to Photography

Good morning After sitting on this news for over a year, I can finally share. 

Last year, I was contacted by a film producer out west asking if I’d be part of her upcoming documentary. 

The producer flew into Toronto this past weekend and yesterday, I stepped onto the other side of the camera.

A Love Letter to Photography is a feature-length documentary exploring mental health and the power of photography to heal, connect, and transform. I’m incredibly humbled to be one of a small group of photographers from around the world chosen to share our personal stories.

Photography has always been more than just a craft for me—it’s been a lifeline. Being able to share that journey in such a meaningful project is something I’ll never forget.

This is the Reason

People think I’m crazy for being up and out between 3 and 4 every morning. But this, folks — this right here — is why.

The magical light in the early morning skies, the silence before the world wakes up, the stillness and peace that can’t be found any other time of day… it’s all worth it.

There’s something sacred about watching the day begin before anyone else. The colours, the quiet, the sense of presence. It grounds me. It heals me. 

Being able to preserve these moments with my camera — to freeze that fleeting light, that feeling — is why I fell in love with photography in the first place.

Make it a great day, chase the light… cheers
