photo stories from a honeymoon
as the honeymoon continues, i begin to wonder how to string together the moments that have colored this trip. i have kept a journal that is now three days behind, and i write every day. there is so much that has happened, and time rolls on, as do the collection of stories, whether i keep [...]
three days in the boat of garten, scotland.
i have words… i have many words. but i am saving them for a post after this trip is finished. i decided that as we sang with three scottish couples tonight – drinking whisky and singing folk songs (of who’s years of marriage totaled 112 years – and 8 months including us) - there are [...]
haiku mill – a true place of peace and beauty
i’ve had the distinct pleasure of meeting sylvia – the beautiful mind behind the sanctuary that is the “haiku mill”
we sat at a table and chatted for hours, discussing the ups and downs of life, the allure of maui, the beauty of family, the importance of friends, all the things that are possible, and the [...]
content.
our content shapes our lives. our lives strive to be content.
the hawaiian islands are socked in by a content grey ceiling of clouds. they don’t want to move, and they are really letting their inner feelings pour down on us. it’s been raining for days now. they beaches are roughed up, the water is brown [...]
earth, wind & fire.
i was listening to “earth, wind & fire” the other day while doing a massive deep clean of my house i thought to myself… earth, wind & fire… what a sweet name for a band. kind tickles you happy like the cleverness of the bluegrass band “greensky”. not to mention how great the music is. [...]
tara & matt – maui
tara & matt
love these two. so calm, so cool, did the whole wedding themselves. just beautiful. congrats you two!
they come in numbers
i want to say so much – the experience fired synapses that set off emotional gasps of wonder.
the size… the size of some of them… hundreds of pounds.
but perhaps, in this case, the pictures will speak louder than words.
nature. beauty. the world, doing what it does. mysterious ways.
leatherback turtles, maui.
baby crazy
yes… i am. baby crazy.
i expect nature will take it’s course and hopefully include me in the prestigious group of women i call “mothers” – one day.
until then, i get my fill of baby love through these little tykes i’m photographing…

life is but a sport.
i am both and american and a canadian.
born in california and raised in canada from 7 years old onward, i feel as though i was exposed to many things from both north american cultures that have shaped the way that i am today. man, i could go on about what has influenced my growth forever, [...]
days in 2011. days in 2012.
i’ve collected a handful of moments from new york to british columbia in the remaining week of 2011. it’s been a very interesting year and there have been so many new and deliciously fascinating sprouts in my life that have begun to grow from seeds that have been planted long ago. i find myself pulling [...]
one day maui adventure.
a few moments from an adventure in maui. april and francis were so great – from kihei to wailea to makena to haiku to paia to lahaina to ka’anapali… we covered the maui basics in record time with their beautiful celebration of love.
congrats you two!
jack & megan
as grey as vancouver can be at times in september, the colorful jack and megan were brighter than fireworks on their wedding at the pinnacle at the pier hotel in north vancouver… and i’m not just talking about jack’s fiery red hair.
jack and megan are red hot in so many ways. their wedding was blissfully [...]
the calm after the storm. thoughts about marriage.
i feel as though i’m at a loss for words these days.
i started this post the day after my wedding. i got as far as “i feel as though….” i left those words on the page for a while and waited for my head to form thoughts. nothing came together to form anything. so i [...]
where have you been…
nothing for the past couple of weeks… i’ve had people asking where i’ve been… i’ll tell you. i’ve been getting married :)
wow, the past month is but a whirlwind of organization, crafting and creation… and it all came together perfectly for our wedding on september 10, 2011.
saving myself the time and energy to try and [...]
one mans trash is another mans treasure
that is my more eloquent and romantic way of describing my weekly garage sale addiction. perhaps there may be other renditions of the ritualistic activity that has become one of my favourite things to do. peter, my fiance, calls it hoarding in the name of “our wedding” – and although he pretends to be mighty [...]
rain, rain, don’t go away… bring the rain, cause with it comes the wind.
kim and jeremy had a wonderful celebration at sparkling hill resort in vernon this past weekend. but on the big day they skies were daunting – huge black clouds covered the face of the sun and no blue, or orange hues were in sight. luckily, kim slept on a lock of jeremy’s hair – which [...]
beaver point hall
we had the simple pleasure of a full 24 hours on saltspring island. a mere half hour out of any civilization we are accustomed to, we landed in fullford harbour and made our way to our cute little yellow cottage b&b. we dropped off our bags, put on our exploration caps and made our way [...]
feed me.
stumbled upon a sweet little birds nest while on an adventure today on saltspring island, bc. unbelievable moment there, watching the babe yearn for its mother, screaming with its actions “feed me”.
just wanted to share.

janice & scott
janice and scott had a beautiful celebration at bridges at granville island in may. janice is actually an old friend of mine. she is exactly as i remember her. beautiful, organized, bold and bossy (in the ways i adore!). scott is sure a lucky man. the couple live in philadelphia, and had a sweet celebration [...]
