Spring calls for action and letting the flow of life running free. I am excited to start roaming again and shake life’s up, connect and met new people. In that spirit, I will be in the Comox valley/Hornby/Cain next week, Sointula the next, hopefully in the interior later on March and in Tofino/Ucluelet at the end of April.

Feel free to reach out to book a session. I will only be taking a limited amount of portrait sessions this year to make more time for wild animal portraits 🙊

These are frames from a session with an old Revelstoke friend. The first time Beau met the ocean!

I had the chance to create memories for these adventurous souls from Sointula. The 6lbs baby Ursa was only 6 days old on our session. So much love was flowing through, I felt so lucky to have been there to capture Ursa first hours of being more awake and alert. Her parents discovering their daughter as time passed.

Ursa dad’s Jean Luc is a grizzly bear naturalist so the name has an extra special connotation considering how much he loves those creatures.

Ursa is now the youngest resident of Sointula where my boat is moored.

Congratulation to the papa and mama bears

I had a glimpse of the summer today feeling those first few rays warming my face and could hear the spring coming. I think this feeling is so precious as Canadians and we all relate to that excitement. Now that I have a few film projects organized I am getting pretty excited for all of the wonderful wild elopements to come . the beautiful dancing her wild spirit ✨

You are loved.

Remember to take a big breath and feel it.. the sun on your skin, that little glimpses of sunlight in your eyes, the warm hug of a good friend, the caring touch of a lover, the lick on your face from a dog, the memories of twirls..

One of my most romantic moment was walking up in an old van in the middle of the rainforest. I was sad because I had to work up North all summer and I was going go miss that man so much.. it was the last morning of our coastal vacation, he felt my sadness and ask to come outside in the rain.. cranked the volume of the delica and took me out for a slow dance right there in the pouring rainforest.. we dance on November rain and it felt like the world had stopped for this magical instant. His long arm wrapping around me like spaghetti.

It’s been a while I have been touched by a human in that way but I know it’s coming.
It’s a hard time in the world these days. Humans are meant to be connected, that’s what brings us alive and my hopes are for you to know it’s coming (still hoping post pandemic will be our chances to live the 70’ again), in the mean time, I hope your body and your heart can remember that you are loved. If not.. please hear my words: you are loved🤍

You gotta love it when snapping images of legendary surfers and only finding out after the fact, we are all human, made of salty tears, joy, tender heart. Life is love. Love is life. The most powerful empowering feeling in the whole world.

So much beauty and love for these pandemic doctors!
I sat down with a glass of wine to write down the latest blog post posted on my website. Such an enjoyable time telling their beautiful tale. Thank you-one love!
