Searching for Spaces

March 7, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

After painting my dining room white a few weeks ago, I have been enjoying the new space and the new photographic possibilities that present themselves when all 4 walls are white. I have a number of tables & chairs as well as props to style so I am pretty happy with my little studio. It […]

A Winter’s Tale

February 3, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

Last week was a busy week, which began with a trip south to visit a friend. I met Barb only a scant 5 months ago at a photography retreat. Her reputation preceded her, I was already a fan. As I drove along, so very excited to catch up with her, and see where she makes […]

Winter Wonderland

January 10, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

Hello. How is winter going for you? Where I live, it announces itself with a crack of cold wind that blows fiercely across the prairie and into my backyard. The second I step outside I am assaulted by a sudden harsh blast that freezes nose hairs within a minute and stings the fingertips. -35C is […]

PEI-Closed for the Season

November 10, 2016.Reading time 7 minutes.

A recent to PEI was a bit of an unexpected surprise. Our initial goal was to visit friends in Cape Breton and attend the Celtic Colours Music Festival which features a variety of Celtic musicians jamming, step-dancing, fiddling and connecting to their roots while we played witness to their magic. This was itself a fabulous […]

To Hunt or to Gather?

October 22, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

A recent conversation with a friend sparked the question “Are you a Hunter or Gatherer?” Immediately I felt drawn to the GATHERER-a person who collects, and searches for a specific purpose. I gather family together…I gather friends for nights out at the movies…I gather/collect props for my still life photos such as colored leaves, pine […]

Autumn Pleasures

September 17, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

I love overcast days in September. They make the days more productive as I am not itching to do yard work, or meet friends for a drink on a restaurant patio the way that glorious sunny days entice us to. Overcast days just motivate me to do more, especially get outdoors and take advantage of […]

Foraged and Found

A recent prompt from Kim Klassen’s Studio online class meant that I had to gather some natural elements and begin thinking about some styling options for an Autumn still life photo shoot. Unfortunately, I was going to be on the road to Calgary and had to do this remotely. So what to do? As I flew […]

Under a prairie sky

Though I have been fortunate enough to travel to wonderful cities across the globe in countries of wonder and intrigue-I am lucky to live in a country where I feel at home; safe and comfortable among the politest people in the world. Canada is a vast nation and diverse in it’s geography. In the west […]

A favourite place

Do you have a favourite spot? One that you return to time and time again? Though Rearguard Falls is hours away from my home, I am drawn to it’s power and beauty. Each time we travel to Jasper or British Columbia, I plan to stop there for even a few minutes. It takes about 10 […]

My own backyard

July 13, 2016.Reading time 1 minute.

Okay technically these pics are not from my own backyard. My own backyard is a sad tale of overgrown trees, more weeds than you could ever imagine… And little remaining sod as the tree roots are soaking up every drop of rain but I have access to beautiful grounds that are lush and resplendent with […]
