Prince Edward County

I think it's fairly easy to worry about the next door to walk through, and what our lives will look like in a few years, and the desire of leaving an important piece of ourselves behind. 

I think it's normal to want to reflect a piece of ourselves in everything we do, and leave traces in everyone we meet - to relate, to inspire. I find it hard to live in a part of the world that is so success and 'dream' driven. I wholeheartedly believe in pursuing things, ideas, and a lifestyle that any and everyone wants to see come to life, but the process and the present is so much more significant than the end result. Who you invest in, what you invest yourself in, how you're building the foundations of your home - I think in the long run, that's what matters. 

I want to create and be selfless in all that I do, and to accomplish the vision I have for my life, it's going to take lots of work. But I don't want my foundation to rest in the future, because I know that a garden won't grow unless the soil is firm and taken care of. And even if the vision for my life was taken from me, I'm learning that's okay too. There is meaning in the little, the big, and every inch in between. 







Walkers

I always enjoy being able to spend time and collaborate on ideas with Sarah of The Curated House. This is the second year I photographed photos of her family, and although it was a cold day, I truly did enjoy every second. Knowing tidbits of this family's story, they always leave me inspired (and often times laughing). Thank you for letting me capture a glimpse of your world.


Little things, Big things

When I travel, or even when I don't, I enjoy being surrounded by a world that finds itself much larger than I. To know that I am simply a small part of a big scheme is comforting, but taking a closer look at what surrounds me may say the opposite. I am intrigued by details, not because nobody else notices them and I want to take a particular notice, but because they are what make up the bigger scheme of things. They are the stories that move and shape, they are the charm and character that is necessary to make a story meaningful. 

I think of myself as that, a detail that has the power to move and shape. And at any given time, I too, can be shaped and moved by my surroundings. 

I've always grown up wanting to live a life of meaning and understand what that even meant for me, because a life of meaning can mean anything really. I believe there is a world within us that is meant to be enhanced, discovered, and as we unravel ourselves in a world with both the beauty of our spirits and the chaos of our flesh, we all have a meaningful story to share and something valuable to offer. Perhaps we're all big fish in a small ocean. 




Brian & Maddie

I remember this day being simple, charming, and as the beginning of summer crept in, the light was crisp and the air seemed light (and also slightly polluted by pollen, which is great when you're allergic). Although I don't know Maddie and Brian on a level that their close friends and family know them, I do know they are a caring, compassionate, and loving duo. Thanks for letting me into your world, lady and gent.
