So today is my birthday. I am 29 with 13 years experience…and I just wanted to share a few snaps from my day of celebrating simple, ordinary miracles. Like long walks, vanilla bean lattes, and the first sign of spring, simple white tulips. Life is...

How cool is it when you can combine 2 passions at once? Those who know me well know that I love sports and recently I’ve added photography to a short list of passions (it knocked cooking and cleaning off the list :)) This past summer I had the good fortune to...

Some of you might be wondering why so many patriotic posts about the Winter Olympics? Well, I’m an unabashed sports nut. I cannot get enough of these fabulous and sometimes wacky winter sports. Perhaps having competed at a provincial level in one equally...

This weekend found me on the road to visit good friends in Morriston, Ontario, just outside of Guelph. While in the area, why not explore? One of my favourite places to visit is Elora just north of Guelph. Great shops, old rustic buildings, lovely restaurants. ...

Over the past few weeks I’ve migrated 9000 some photos from my poor little laptop to my new tank of a desktop. In the process, I’ve found some photos that must’ve dropped on the cutting room floor during my first pass at editing. Much like one of...

You can tell I haven’t been on a back road adventure in a while if I’m sharing a picture of my home office with you. I am doing so with beaming pride, however. Several weeks ago I treated myself to a “new” as in new to me Mid-Century Modern...

If it hadn’t been for all the snow, and the fact that I visited on New Year’s Day (the day when the world shuts down…not a bad thing!), I would have stayed all day in Creemore. If you haven’t been to this charming small town, you must go. ...
