Parksville, BC

Dreaming of fall, I dream about it often!
My favorite time of the year for Photography!
Only 74 days till the first day of fall!

I'll be chasing some new waterfalls this year.
Hiking, Waterfalls, Lakes, Rivers, Streams and beautiful fall colors!
It will be here before you know it!! I can't wait!!

Elk Lake
Saanich, BC

Caught the tail end of the day just as the sky turned to pastel pinks and cool blues. Moments like this make the wait entirely worth it.

Esquimalt Lagoon,
Colwood, BC

I headed down to the Lagoon yesterday morning, but it was incredibly cold and windy, and the birds were few and far between. I only ended up taking about 50 shots, these are the 5 I walked away with.

Happy Canada Day 2026!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 💥💥💥🎉🎉🎉
📍 Victoria Inner Harbour | Victoria, BC

Wow, what an absolute blast yesterday! Downtown Victoria was completely electric, with thousands of people packing the Inner Harbour to celebrate! The energy was through the roof! 🙌✨
From food trucks galore and amazing local vendors to live bands dropping incredible beats, the vibe was unmatched. And that grand finale? An absolutely spectacular 13-minute fireworks show that lit up the night sky! 🎆💥
I captured an absolute mountain of photos, so I have a ton of editing ahead of me! Behind the scenes, things have been incredibly busy getting everything in order, but I couldn't wait to share a sneak peek.
Here are a couple of shots for now! Stay tuned for more! 📸👇

Saanich, BC
Elk Lake

The clouds were forming nicely last night, so I hightailed it to the lake (a 10-minute drive) and arrived just in the nick of time!
Nature really put on a show: cool cloud formations in shades of blue, a sunstar to boot, and God rays lighting up the sky. Afterward, I had just enough time to race over to Christmas Hill for the moonrise! 🌅🌕
