Video: 2b Inspired – A Unique Divas Fest

Recently, I finished putting together a short promo video for the 2b Inspired event that will be happening in Guadalajara, Mexico from August 6-9th, 2015. It was a bit of a challenge to put a video together without any actual video footage to work with, but in the end it all worked out. https://vimeo.com/117929106

Winter Frost

If you ask me how I feel about being in a cold and snowy destination, I will not hesitate to say, very loud and clear, that I HATE IT! With that being said, some nice picture do come from it, especially when there’s frost outside….but that still doesn’t change the fact that I’d much rather be on the beach in a warm , sunny destination, wearing my bikini and sundress instead of my heavy winter coat, scarf, mittens, and boots. […]

Video: Orizaba Salsa & Bachata Fest 2014

I think I broke a couple of personal records with this latest promotional video that I created for the Orizaba Salsa & Bachata Fest 2014. It was the shortest one I’ve ever done (not counting the couple of 15 second Instagram videos that I’ve put up in the past) AND I think I also completed it in the shortest amount of time (and that’s counting from the time I start coming up with a concept for a video to the […]

Instagram Review: Sept/Oct 2014

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted one of these “Instagram Review” posts and that’s mostly because I didn’t really have enough posts up in one month to be able to chose 10 or so of my favourite ones, so I waited to combine a couple of months. I skipped the month of August because I wasn’t a whole lot that stuck out for me compared to some of the ones from September and October. Not much of a theme going […]

Backyard Squirrel Sightings

This seems like a such simple creature to photograph, but since I’ve been back in Canada, without an iguana to spot in the trees, I’ve become “snap happy” with the squirrels, the Red Squirrel, to be exact. I’ve enjoyed spotting them during walks on the park trails, running to and from and up and down the trees, and even in the backyard of my parents’ house. I don’t always have my camera on me when I spot them, so there’s […]

Edmonton River Valley – Fall 2014

Before we get too far into the season with all this white stuff on the ground, I wanted to post some photos that I had taken while exploring the Edmonton River Valley area at the end of September. It’s been over 9 years since I’ve been in this city so this was the first opportunity that I had to play “tourist” in a place that I grew up in. [Show slideshow]

Instagram Review: July 2014

Wow, August went by so quickly that I forgot to post a review of my favourite Instagram posts from July! If I were to sum up what July meant to me it was all about capturing action in the outdoors. My most memorable moments were climbing Mount Benson in Nanaimo and taking photos of the Rip Curl Pro Wakeboarding Competition at Long Lake. Here are some of my favourite photos that were posted to my Instagram account during the month […]

Instagram Review: June 2014

I have to admit that I am one of those people who believe in that common phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” and even more so in the phrase, “If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video is worth a million.” I am an active person on Instagram especially when it comes to live posting during events, promoting tourism to specific destination, or  to simply show off the photographs that I have taken of surf […]
