I am so very lucky and blessed to be able to do what I love and call it my career. I just wanted to stop for a minute and THANK YOU for believing in me year after year.  As I sit here and reflect my life, I have been doing this over 15 years.  WOW!!

Not only do I have have a  successful wedding and portrait photography business in Vancouver, during this recession, I am lucky enough to employ people and expand to the East.  When we first decided to open the studio in Ottawa, I got (and still get) this question a lot: WHY OTTAWA?~~~

Well, it’s simple really.   I was born in Ottawa, it’s a clean and wonderful city, it’s the Nations Capital and it’s still close to the major cities of Toronto and Montreal.  My roots are still in Vancouver, but I love having the diversity of both cities.

The chilly winters here are the reason I picked up and moved to the West  –  yet with the sun shining, it didn’t seem so bad this week.  Today we got to enjoy Winterlude and the AMAZING ice sculptures. I just wanted to share a few photos to my friends in the West.
