“Grounded”
Self portrait from the Yukon, 2023. 🧡
Sometimes while you’re driving along the highway, see golden light shining through a dust storm, and a rugged stick lying on the side of the road, the ideas just come together. 😘

“Spirit of the North”
Self portrait taken during a 5-day backcountry trek in the Tombstone mountains, Yukon. Such an otherworldly place. 🖤

“Beacon”
Self portrait from northern BC, high above the Salmon Glacier. This may look like a beautiful fantasy world, but in reality I was swinging that sword between photos to fight the most horrendous clouds of mosquitoes I have ever seen. 😂

“The Heart of Ancient Earth”
I waited 10 years to take this self portrait - every time I visited this location there were tons of tourists (and I’m shy, haha). But last year, at 2am during midsummer, I finally found myself alone with these beautiful basalt columns. 🖤

“Stranded in a Dream”
One of the most surreal mornings I’ve ever experienced at my favourite lake… everything was so calm, the water like a mirror. I waded through the water up to my chest, dress held above my head, to reach this rock. 😂 ❤️

“Arise”
Self portrait from nearly a decade ago. I hiked up into these mountains during the first snowstorm of the year, camping for 2 nights with no views… until finally, the fog broke with this sunrise, revealing my first glimpse of the mountains. 🧡

“The Depths of Bravery”
This place felt like I was in a fantasy world. It was pouring rain during this shoot, but the greenery and fog and waterfalls completely transported my brain from the cold rainy discomforts into total enchantment. 💚

Self portrait taken in a dust storm in Kluane National Park, Yukon. I never would have guessed that I’d find this sandy desert setting so far up north, but here we are! 🧡

“Nothing Left but Stories” 💙
One of my personally most meaningful self portraits. Taken at 3am during Midsummer in Iceland, on the remnants of a huge glacier calving we witnessed the previous day. This place visibly changes so much every year...

“Light Pours Down”
An older self portrait (9 years ago), but still one of my all-time favourites. Standing there was like standing in freezing shower, I got soaked and so did my camera (which subsequently stopped working for 2 weeks after… don’t do what I do, folks 🤣)

“Calm Before the Storm”
Self portrait from 2019. Taken in a calm, reflective ocean tidal pool during sunset. Shortly after this, I was treated to one of the most incredible lightning storms I’d ever seen. ❤️

A self portrait taken on day 4 of a multi-day backpacking trek through the mountains. Normally I’m not a fan of nearby forest fire smoke, but the way it softened the sunrise light this morning was really rather beautiful. 🧡

So... Antarctica is pretty cool.
Still having a hard time believing I was just there. Feels like a dream now. 🩵
Penguins are my new favourite bird. They're like little waddling humans going on grand adventures, slipping and tripping their way across some of the most epic landscapes of all time.
