My love for photography began as a teen, decorating my walls with fashion ads and capturing my 3 brothers with my first film camera. A life-changing trip to Sydney, Australia and a gifted Canon DSLR sparked the realization that I could turn my passion into a profession.

​

I moved from Winnipeg to Penticton to pursue my passion for photography after years of working in healthcare. I enrolled in a local art and technical college to study digital photography and turn creativity into a career. Just as my business began to bloom, I faced a major health setback that required hip surgery and time to heal. That chapter, though unexpected, taught me resilience and deepened my compassion. Today, I bring that strength and insight into every portrait I create, celebrating the beauty, diversity, and spirit of each person I photograph.

For the past decade, I’ve been proud to teach photography at the same college I graduated from, helping the next generation of creatives grow and thrive. While I love mentoring students, my heart still belongs behind the lens—capturing the spirit, beauty, and individuality of every person I photograph.
