Bigger Than Suburbia

CIMG2856
Everything seems to be falling exactly into place lately. I have to say I’m a tad jaded by life today. I know I should be present and revelling in the now, but I find myself wondering what will be next. Where will I end up after all is said and done, glasses empty, memory full, and without a battery charger? Will I end up with the life I’ve always dreamed of? Right now it is as though I am dreaming but am wide awake. As if sleeping is unnecessary. I’m terrified that this will all pass by too quickly. When my mind wonders I have a relentless tendency to dwell into the past and anticipate the future, all while the present is passing by becoming history. This is when I make sure both feet are on the ground, after I’ve realized that I'm not floating I breathe in, and slowly breathe out, and I am back fully focused on the now.
All I know is that I want it all. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make manifest my dreams. I know that my chosen industry isn’t the conventional pension bearing, paid vacation, 9 to 5 kind of suburban structure most have been conditioned to go after, but I am not the majority. I am one of the few who walks away from conventional and popular conditioning. My dreams are bigger than suburbia and small town mind set.


My career will be chaotic, my occupation: everything and anything that brings creativity together.
I am so grateful to be able to live in a city where creativity is embraced and individualism is encouraged. With a shoot tomorrow I am feeling more inspired and motivated than I have ever felt before. Motivated to live the life of my dreams NOW, and inspired by this amazing city and the people who surround me.
If not now, when?

The Audacity Of The Overcast.

DSC01309



As you all know I have been putting off shoots due to typical Vancouver weather. We definitely have a love hate relationship at the moment. With summer just around the....I want to say corner but really it is more like just around the corner, up a few blocks, past the alley and it will be on the right hand side. If you see rain...you’ve gone too far. My unwillingness to compromise with Mother Nature and put to use yet again a few spring umbrellas is beginning to fade like a black dress that’s been thrown blindly into a warm wash cycle. Stay tuned for some wet wellies.

Bright Lights Bigger City

DSC01493



I hope everyone had a fabulous long weekend! My weekend was super busy with work, dates with friends and designing my new business cards!(which I will most definatly be sharing in an upcoming post). I've been mesmerized to the city lights lately. My lens is almost drawn to the skyrises like Chanel sunglasses are to a Starbucks Latte.

Harem Love

DSC01325



It is another beauty day in Vancouver! I swear I fall more in love with this city every day. A serious attitude of gratitude has taken over me this morning. A few days ago I was playing around with the lighting in my apartment while lounging in my favorite harems. I love them and their versatility, and did I mention the comfort!

I am in love with this photo. It definitely captures the feeling of spring.My closest friend was my muse yesterday. She recently returned from a trip of shopping and debauchery in Australia. So jealous! She purchased this gorgeous over sized blouse from a boutique in Sydney. I love the way it was flowing in the seaside wind of Vancouver.
