Beauty is everywhere. You just have to bee open to seeing it.<br />

I have always<br />

had a love for<br />

photography as<br />

far back as I can<br />

remember.<br />

My grandfather always<br />

had all the top gear and<br />

enjoyed photographing<br />

nature. He taught me to see<br />

the beauty in the smallest of<br />

things, including his honey<br />

bees and how they flew in an<br />

out of the hive meticulously<br />

creating honeycombs<br />

that looked like art. They<br />

were busy and focused<br />

and continued as we<br />

watched on.<br />

I always had a camera in<br />

my hand but never had the<br />

confidence to put myself<br />

or my work out there. It<br />

wasn’t until about 2000<br />

that I started posting my<br />

work in various<br />

photo<br />

groups<br />

and started selling nature and<br />

landscape stock photos.<br />

My confidence in my work<br />

started to develop when I<br />

realized clients were actually<br />

buying them, and I began to<br />

take<br />

my photography more<br />

seriously.<br />

I took some courses at<br />

Grant MacEwan and started<br />

to read and<br />

practice as much as a could.<br />

My niece started modelling<br />

around that time, and I<br />

practiced a lot with her and<br />

found that I had a passion for<br />

photographing people.<br />

I was fortunate to find<br />

really great mentors and<br />

started second shooting for<br />

weddings and family sessions.<br />

In 2012 I started my<br />

photography as a business<br />

and photographed weddings,<br />

newborns and family sessions<br />

and started doing beauty<br />

shoots one on one with<br />

models. This is where I found<br />

my true passion. Beauty<br />

and creative<br />

photoshoots<br />

became my<br />

main focus and<br />

creative outlet,<br />

which really helped me<br />

grow on a personal level.<br />
