Before Covid-19 quarantine began in Durham, Natasha Ames had just renovated and opened this beautiful new space for her permanent makeup and lash extension business. I adore Natasha’s bohemian aesthetic and was so impressed with the outcome of her renovations.

Making Her Dress

Making Her Dress

Margaret is my first bride to make her own wedding dress from scratch! She bought the fabric, found a vintage design, and scheduled the time for her mother to come down from Canada for a week to work on the project together in her new studio space. Delighted to witness and capture some of the process.

Claire, Bryan + Indy

The last time I saw these two, they were getting married at The Durham Hotel, and I was shooting their wedding! It's been just over a year, and I had the true delight of visiting their home to meet their new little one, Indy, only a month after her birth.

Cookie-making, bed-jumping, and hall-running? Yes, please. My kind of family photos.

Walk through Uplands Park in Victoria, BC

When in Victoria, Anna and I stayed with my friend, Jason, who introduced us to this beautiful park that led from his neighborhood to the beach along Oak Bay. Such a special place. Thanks again, Jason, for being such a stellar host.

Sombrio Beach on the Juan de Fuca with Anna

Places like this speak to my soul. Someday I am going to take my children to a beach like this and make a fire and set up camp and just linger and explore. The drama of the coast, the lush vegetation, the dreamy weather... I just love it. Thanks again, dear Anna, for exploring this corner of the world with me!

Early Days with Everett

Early Days with Everett

It was the day before our snow came, and these three were cozied up together, settling into newborn rhythms. So much warmth and tenderness in this home. Grateful to get a peak into early days with young Everett.
