Embodied Learning Holding space, Belonging to Place and Letting Play! I love children! I have worked with babies, children and youth as a teacher, caregiver, nanny and mentor for over 20 years now.  Throughout this time, and especially over the last 12 years since I gave birth to my son, I have also enjoyed observing and photographing children of all ages (including adults) learning…

  Family in Black and White “True love exists in moments, stumbled upon by accident…”  Atticus Sometimes, black and white is just better….because of the light, the texture, the mood…or even to take our attention away from colour, and back to form, connection, space or moment. #applestarphoto #familyinblackandwhite #shiningfromtheinsideout #miniphotoplaysessions #candidblackandwhitephotography #family #love #moments

Fall Mini Photo Play Sessions \I’m really enjoying doing these!!  Short, 15 to 20 minutes, at the end of the day when the sun is going down casting that warm Autumn glow, the brisk air, and last leaves are lighting up the sky, families are wrapped in woollies, cozy and ready to hug.  A gorgeous outdoor setting provides both a memorable back drop and…
