Last year in July I was photographing weddings almost every Saturday when I received word that I got accepted into the University of Alberta Nursing After Degree program in the fall of 2016. I was super excited and happy – it was something I’ve wanted for a long time since 2004, but circumstances had prevented […]

Now that hospital clinical in nursing school have started, wearing scrubs have become my daily uniform, I’ve tried a few brands and I particularly like this brand. I was shopping online for scrubs and found Jaanuu by Dr. Neela. Their styles have some interesting detail and the fit is tailored. I chose the tulip top and the skinny pant […]

Though I am a minimalist, it doesn’t mean that I don’t want ‘stuff’. I’m normal like any human being. But I do ask myself “do I really need this” and I resist the impulsive buys that used to creep up on me. I limit myself to things that improve my quality of life and that […]

So I was sitting at my computer one night really wanting to go to Japan. And also at that instant I felt like photographing a fashion shoot. It’s these small instances of inspiration that drive to do things outside of the ordinary, such as compose a song with lyrics, or completely reorganize my closet and […]

Where to eat in Edmonton? There’s so many restaurants to choose from and but these are our tried and true. A disclaimer: I am not professionally trained in culinary arts. I am not a full time food blogger or gastronomic foodie. However, I’m eager about trying new places to eat and I always seek flavor above all […]

I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m humbled by all the opportunities I’ve had and will have. Counting one’s blessings really makes my day! -My family – my husband Duane, my son James, my parents and in-laws… they are absolutely lovely and so very significant to me. -My friends – really awesome people, […]

I’m so thankful for such an amazing family I have. My lovely husband Duane and my cutie pie James are my world. My mom and dad are the best – so loving, patient and kind. It’s James’ 4 month bday, and we decided to take him out for some fall photos! Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

James arrived, he is my world! He is such a blessing. I now understand what it means when parents say life feels so different and meaningful after having a baby. We had newborn photos done by Maxine • Shellaine-the essence of newborn art when James  was under a week old. ♥ him!

I was really happy to find out I was pregnant. Many of my friends had difficult conceiving and at my age (approaching mid-thirties) I thought I might have needed to go the IVF route. However I was relieved we didn’t have to go through that, though I understand how hard that road must be. We […]

Hello Everyone! It’s been a VERY long time since I posted on the blog 🙂 I have used my Facebook page as my main source of updates instead this past year. I usually post only one favourite image from a shoot on facebook, and that doesn’t give a full account of all the fabulous images from […]
