Born and raised in Northern Ontario, I grew up surrounded by serene lakes and endless forests. After living in different provinces, including several years in Edmonton, I longed for the deep peace that only nature could provide.

In 2018, while working at the University of Alberta, I found comfort in nature walks through the adjacent River Valley. As a new mother at the time, those quiet moments became more than just a break; they were a lifeline. Surrounded by tall trees and winding trails, I found space to breathe, reflect, and feel grounded again. Nature offered a steady calm amidst the beautiful chaos of early motherhood.

A few years later, my family and I moved to Nanaimo, BC, on Vancouver Island. There, I embraced the island’s wild, magical landscapes and fully immersed myself in nature once more. Among the lush forests, rugged coastlines, and misty valleys, I found the deep tranquility I had been seeking. Time seems to slow here, creating room for stillness, clarity, and deeper connection to mother Nature and to self.

To me, nature isn’t just a place; it’s a feeling, a reminder to pause, breathe, and be present. Through mindful nature photography, I capture these fleeting moments of stillness, bringing the beauty of Vancouver Island’s landscapes into focus. My nature and landscape photography prints offer a way to invite calm, connection, and the wonder of the outdoors into your home and daily life. What if your space could feel as peaceful as nature itself?
