Hi There!

What a wild ride this year has been so far. Like many of you, I spent the early months of this year following the news on the Pandemic, looking out for my loved ones, and waiting and wondering when I’d be able to resume photographing people again. My modest home photography studio became a modest home sewing studio and I spent many days fashioning masks and gowns for my neighbours and the the residents at the long term care home down the street.

I have given up predicting when things will turn into “The New Normal”.

In June we got word that photographers in our area of Ontario would be allowed to reopen under phase 2. The next day, my husband developed COVID symptoms, we both needed to get tested, and we were under quarantine until we got negative results 8 days later. After a stint at the cottage to regroup, I tried again to resume photography, but within 2 days, I suddenly had an opportunity to have a long – delayed operation. Now August is right around the corner, I am convalescing after surgery, and I’m longing to pick up my camera again just as soon as possible. Whenever that may be.

Going into late summer and early fall, I’ve got my eye on portraits packed with personality, and with helping fellow business owners get back up and running with personal branding photography services. High quality images and a professional presence online have never been so important to how we do business. I can help you connect with the exact sort of clients that will uplift and support you and your vision going forward.

Until then, I’ll be chilling in my backyard garden paradise with a box of popsicles, fashion magazines I normally don’t have time to read, and mental images piling up in my brain. After all this time in isolation, I’m just dying to connect with some other creative collaborators in the coming months.

Stay cool out there.
