23,157 images delivered in 2021. It’s a number that blows my mind but in the best possible way. 2021 taught me so many things (it’s ok to ask for help, not everything in life needs to be measured, working a zillion hours a week isn’t sustainable, a pandemic can actually be a good thing for […]

Last week my husband made Egg Roll In A Bowl for dinner. It’s one of our favourite quick weeknight meals that can be made from start to finish in less than half an hour. 90% of the time I make it, but this time, I was working, so my husband made it. I sent him […]

I can so vividly remember being pregnant for the first time and attempting to hold my pants together with a hair elastic for months until my belly made it very obvious that maternity clothes were a necessity. It was on a snowy Saturday that my Mom and I went on an adventure to find me […]

“How long will it take you to edit this?” It’s a pretty common question that I get, but….the answer isn’t an easy one.

It can be hard. Really hard. To resist the pressure. To not want to be bigger and ‘better’. To not jump on a plane and fly to Iceland because the landscape is amazing and the mist is calling. To not wish for the most beautiful sunset in a flowy wheatfield with a picture-perfect Alberta sky. […]
