Christmas Portrait Studio

December 01, 2017 in Lifestyle, Interiors, Personal

This year for Christmas, I want to use photography to give back to my community so I decided to build a modern Christmas portrait studio from scratch for groups of friends and families to come and get their photo taken.

Together, we raised close to $3000! The proceeds are going to support our church's building project which will then be used to create a safe, usable space for the community and our neighbours in Victoria Village.

After a month of planning, building, prop sourcing and testing, it’s finally happening. I’m excited to see old friends and meet new ones 😊

A huge thank you to everyone who came by to get a portrait taken and to friends who helped make this happen!

Small business owners reach out to me because they want to create custom imagery for their business and one of my favourite parts of the process is hearing their story. The story of how they got to where they are, the reason they started and why it inspires to keep them going. My goal is to work with them to come up with images that reflect both their work and personality.

Grapes at a winery ready to be picked

Travel: Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

November 07, 2017 in Lifestyle

Wine country in Ontario is a beautiful region of vineyards and good food. While summer is a nice time to tour the wineries, the fall is great too because it's harvest season which means you'll see all the grapes on the vines. It's worth a day trip or a weekend getaway. Don't forget to research all the wineries ahead of time!

How to create a basement bathroom you’ll actually want to use:  1. Use delightful colours
2. Add a touch of whimsy to your bathroom with a fun frame around the mirror πŸͺ„βœ¨

This kitchenette was designed with a specific person in mind for convenience and safety.

It’s great for people who have reduced mobility, but everyone can make use of it especially at night. No need to walk downstairs to get water or a snack ☺
This bathroom is a special one because it was designed by @creativedesigntherapy to be more accessible. I loved photographing it and I hope to see more inclusive design like this.

There are many ways to create a space that is inclusive so here are a
Need to keep the kids and pets out of the pantry? @creativedesigntherapy designed this kitchen with Dutch doors to do that while one person is prepping inside. Swipe to see how it works πŸ‘‰πŸ»

There’s something about natural light in a bathroom that just feels good ☺️ And look at the details, from the double vanity to the wall-mounted faucets 😍

Two features that stand out in this primary bathroom:
1. The beautiful tile that extends outside of the shower 
2. The extra large sink for the double faucets instead of two separate sinks

How I see a space as an interior photographer:

Photo 1 - Capture the corner. Corners can be interesting because of how the walls guide your eye.

Photo 2 - From afar with elements in between you and the subject

Photo 3 and 4 - Full view of the room
