Growing up in rural Ontario was the beginning of my fascination with nature, as I explored fields, swamps, lakes and the bush with my brothers and sister. This love of the outdoors continued after moving to Didsbury, Alberta in 1984 and raising 2 boys.
One year my husband gave me a camera for Christmas, and I started photographing wildflowers and sunsets, (things that couldn’t run away!). Eventually, I gravitated to the more challenging subject of wildlife.
Today, being out in nature with my camera brings me peace, and restores my sense of aliveness and awe of God’s creation….those same feelings that I enjoyed as a kid.
I believe appreciation is the first step towards preserving our wildlife and environment. I hope my pictures bring you enjoyment and inspire a connection with nature.

The interest in photography runs strongly in my family, but my first career was numbers, logic and all the left side of the brain type stuff. I really started to find my creative side when I got my first digital camera in 2005.
The opportunity to take as many photos as I wanted, was a fantastic opportunity to try an take better and better photos at no cost. After a trip to Europe in 2011 and not being satisfied with my point and shoot photos, I enrolled in my first photography course and haven’t stopped since. Our place in Fernie offers me the chance to enjoy the outdoors through all the seasons. The photo opportunities are never ending, from micro to macro, and landscapes to wildlife.
