I am a sap. I cry at old pictures… and new ones, weddings, movies, every episode of Queer Eye, dog rescue tiktok, commercials, quotes, cards, happy news, sad news, good-byes and any random act of kindness. Basically I should be wearing a fanny pack with tissues at all times #waterproofmascaraforthewin

Peanut butter & chocolate. Chocolate & peanut butter. Enough said. 

Can you really have too many coffee mugs? How 'bout cardigans? (asking for a friend...)

I love LOVE, especially that kind when GOOD humans show up in your life and never leave your side.

My middle name is HOPE. My mum named me that because she says “everyone needs a little hope in the world”, mums are always right. I passed the same middle name down to my baby girl too. 

I ADORE children. The only thing I ever aspired to be in life was a mum. I always wanted 4 kids and together we have 5, SO I got extra lucky there ;)

I lose my keys at least twice a week #thestruggleisreal.

Favourite warm bevy: Silvercreek chai tea latte. Favourite cold bevy: Timmy's ice capp.

The cottage is my favourite place on earth (the drive is worth it when we get there), I’m so grateful when we can unplug a little and live simply.

I spoke Chinese until I was about 4, sadly I can barely remember counting to 10.

Pinterest is the way I know I am a hoarder at my core, if only I could make10% of what I pin actually happen in my life! 

Checklists make me happy. If it's not on the list (or in the calendar), it's not happening.

You can always fit at least 11 more things in a full dirty dishwasher - yes you can.

I really want to unknowingly find myself in the middle of a flashmob someday.

After all these years doing work I love, I realize that there has been a thread to connect all of it - to make sure women exist in photos. To not just be the documentors but to be documented themselves. Whether capturing their unique beauty, their love and connection with their families, the things they create, the milestones they accomplish and the incredible, INSPIRING work they do. If anything I have done has contributed even just one ounce to someone's self confidence, my hope is that it only explodes from there.

I am SO grateful to have built this rewarding business that let's me be creative and gives me purpose in giving something to others. I would be nothing without the love of my kids to motivate me, my mum's everlasting, unconditional love shining down on me, my friends and family to believe in me, my ah-mazing clients who allow me to do what I love & support my family, and last but never least, the love of my life, my wonderful husband, for holding my hand no-matter-what while I try to make it ALL work somehow... xx

Did I mention chocolate and peanut butter? ;)
