love.travel.life.

Me? What can I say about myself that will communicate with you my love for love and what i do and who i am???

i adore my family. as in ADORE. my husband is my best friend, my loudest cheerleader and constant companion. we have two AMAZING kids who are the best kids in the world. they are super talented, super funny and super gorgeous. they are super. :) we are pretty tight - the four of us - and we love hanging out, having our weekly movie and pizza night. oh and walking the mall on days off to avail of the lovely airconditioning. ;)

I could drink an unsweetened Matcha Green Tea Soy Latte or a no-water soy Chai Tea Latte several times a day.  Also quite fond of chocolate. Dark. Lots of it. Thank you. :)

I never go anywhere without a camera - ok, except the shower. My DSLR or my iPhone 4 (or both sometimes!) is always with me…always capturing memories, life, everything. Totally addicted to INSTAGRAM on my iPhone 4. Love my apps too. Have them all in subfolders. I like things in order.

Oh, and not that it matters, but I’m a “Canon Girl”.

Speaking of Apple products…LOVE them. And I’m not talking Gala apples, friends… I’m talking Mac. iMac and MacBook Pro show me nothing but love.

And Post-it Notes - cannot live with out them. Keep me away from office supplies stores - DANGEROUS for the wallet.

Traveling…for work or pleasure. There is something in me that LONGS to travel. My adventures have taken me through Western Canada (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba), Greater Toronto and area (Niagara-by-the-lake, Niagara Falls), Montreal, Newfoundland; the USA - many states: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, North Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina; Europe: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy (London & Paris but that was just in the airports!) and my latest being Turkey; and Asia - Hong Kong & the Philippines (Korea, Beijing - again, layovers in the airport!)

I have a few on-going collections…i collect pins and small 1” buttons from all over the globe. And decals from cities where I’ve been..they get plastered on my MacBook Pro. Oh, and I own many cameras..in fact I have started an old camera collection. As in a dozen. Give or take.And all things Italy - I should probably have a website just for that…I’ll get on it… oh and magnets. i know it’s kinda dorky. but i get a magnet from places i travel to. :)

Put all those together and basically I’m a people-loving, culture-crazy, collector, caffeine addict, dark chococate-eating traveling photographer who would have a ton of fun celebrating your day with you, with my camera in hand. Anywhere on the globe.

Now that wasn’t too hard was it? :)

I only take 10 commissions a year, anywhere, worldwide. Take a peek through my galleries…some are my own weddings clients, others i’ve shot as an associated where noted. If you love what you see, let’s talk about your wedding day. I’d be thrilled to capture it through my eyes…and heart.
