Im obsessed by the captures you could have never planned. The ones you take because you were just there... you are present and you were noticing. As the busyness of summer comes towards us with the opening of our province I am remembering this.... the gifts found in being present. I had a call with one of our new clients today @calmneststudio and she talked to me about the pause. The moment between the thought and the action. I was taken with the concept. I think this is the magic of photography. We get to capture the pause. Like the simple act of a little girl trying on a hat much too big for her. Simple stuff. #itallbelongs 
Today we celebrate national indigenous peoples day. A day to celebrate, recognize and reflect on the history, culture & contributions of indigenous people in Canada. I also gratefully and respectfully acknowledge that myself & my family work, live, learn & play on the ancestral, traditional & unceded territories of the Lil’wat & St’at’imc First Nation peoples of Canada. Each day (not just today) presents us with an opportunity to learn & to do our own work towards reconciliation and truth. #nationalindigenouspeoplesday 
The province is opening.... there are whispers about the borders opening..... it feels like all things are possible and @flockando and I are ready! We have a limited amount of #allofyousessions available for the summer with later sunsets so please reach out. We also have one more locals special available! Fun times await.... the type of times that make you catch your breathe and think.... I've got this. And you do.... and we are here to support you. 📷 @alyssaraephotography_
