Theo is my last grad session of 2021 and it was so special - we had everything we needed - friends, family, the family dog, the ocean and the forest. Theo brought everything I adore about spending tie with grads. He was curious, shared wisdom, laughed easily and we squeezed in some good conversation about cheese. Theo, thank you for making it out to the forest in the morning and letting me get to know you better. You are a stellar human and I wish you all the best on this next adventure.

If you know Rachel you know she is exceptional. She has a unique, introspective way of seeing the world and if you have had the pleasure of seeing her dance, you know she is full of expression. This evening was such a joy, full of talk about favourite things and dreams. For both they are many. I have no doubt that Rachel, who is full of independence, curiosity, and bravery will meet all her dreams - academically and artistically and that a life full of adventure and meaningful moments awaits her. Rachel, thank you for this peaceful, joyful evening and I cross my fingers that I will once again get to see you on stage dancing.

Photographing Shelby was a joy! I have been watching her on stage at Pantuso Dance since she was nine and she blossomed into this incredibly talented and passionate dancer who is an artist and an athlete. I have also had the chance to photograph her with her family in the past - but this was all Shelby and what an incredible night of climbing over things, getting some love from mosquitoes, watching nature give us a cloud show and creating these photos.

I have been photographing this brilliant grad since she was a kid, in family portraits and on stage dancing for Pantuso Dance. I have numerous photos of her seared happily in my permanent memory because her smile was so radiant - and it still is. Elska is joy, and also a buddle of warmth and kindness. She has an incredible air of knowing who she is, and at the same time a gentle humbleness. And she laughs easily, a valuable trait as she enters the social justice program at UBC (I wish I could join her) and makes her mark in the world.

This year, we won’t have the opportunity to celebrate our high school grads in the traditional way. I am a mom of a 2020 Grad and I am heartbroken for them. So we created a specially priced session for the Grad Class of 2020.
