“You only are free when you realize you belong no place — you belong every place — no place at all.” -Maya Angelu

I am an international award winning travel and documentary photographer who works with families whom are conscious and invested in capturing their experiences as they unfold. Through my work, I chronicle the moments that make us who we are.

My biggest influences and admiration are photojournalists such as Alegra Ally & Ash Gilbertson

I was born in a small town in Northwestern Ontario, and I have lived in every corner of the province since. I have no hometown, I have no sewn roots. My style is influenced by my constant need for exploration and adventure, big or small.

I now live in a small village just outside of Barrie, Ontario, alongside my steadfast partner with our three amazing little humans. We enjoy exploring the world with adventure and curiosity in mind.

Hello my sunshines’. These are my reasons for why today is so special to me. I want my children to know peace, love, and speaking up for the oppressed, vulnerable, and marginalized is why they are here. I hope no matter who they become in this life, they never forget this. . . . . . #happyeaster #mysunshine #letthembelittle #raisegoodhumans #thehappynow
I’m feelin’ myself on this gorgeous Easter Sunday! The kids weren’t co-operating for a photo so I decided for a selfie instead. We shall try again in a bit with the the kids.

Sisters share secrets from birth. There are things that no one will ever know shared between them. From that time you covered her with a blanket in her car seat in order to use her as a hoist to get up onto the couch (the blanket was so that she wouldn’t see it was you who was climbing her) to the stories of your heartbreak and moments where you felt your humanity had been compromised. Sisterhood is one of the most sacred relationships. . . . . . #sisterhood #tribearchipelago #documentaryphotography #candidphotography #thehappynow #summertime #shootandshare #lookslikefilm #instagood #beauties #womeninspiringwomen #girlsquad #sincerestoryteller
This weather has me feeling all sorts of ready for the beach. Our littles spend most of the summer in the water! Where are my fellow Canadians that are ready for sun, sand, and waves?! (Although I’m sure we will see another snow fall before it’s over for good 😞) #wildhood #letthembelittle #runwildnychild #candidchildhood #sincerestoryteller #beachdays #playtime #lookslikefilmkids #barriephotographer #summertime #documentaryphotography
Why have we demonized the word “beautiful”? We’re told instead of saying “you look beautiful” say “you are radiant!” But, beauty is that which our eyes delight in seeing. It is not simply a measure of appearance on a scale of one to infinity, but something that says so much more. When something or someone is beautiful, whether it is a newborn babe and their mother, Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”, or the Grand Canyon at sunrise. What we are saying is that our senses are responding to that which we behold, and it IS beautiful. I cannot and will not give up “beautiful.” So know that if I greet you with “hello my beautiful friend.” Please do not diminish it to the paint on your face or the fit of your jeans. I am seeing you, beyond the flesh, and into all the beauty of the entire universe that exists as you. #documentaryphotography #poetryofinstagram #thehappynow #candidmoments #beauty #barriephotographer #sincerestoryteller #lookslikefilm #dearphotographer #lightchaser #iseeyou

Winston Peaches Paralta; aka @thefeministb.tch is the sassiest little rescue that I’ve met and I love her to bits. I’m so happy she’s found her furever home with her moms’ @aknuge and @biancasprague. They make sure she’s always got the most stylish of attire. . . . . . #instagood #acolorstory #dogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #winniep #chihuahua #naturallight #fureverhome #ohwowyes #thehappynow #dailydoseofcolor #dogstagram
Hubby got this awesome shot on the way home last night and I just had to edit it. Love that I was able to use my mobile Lightroom app with my @tribearchipelago Terrain presets . I love when the sky lights up like this, it reminds me that there is an entire other world up there. Photocred goes to @boots_1984 for this one. . . . . . #streetphotography #landscape #phonephotograpy #theroad #iphone #tribearchipelago #documentaryphotography #sunset #travelphotography #instagood
