Please, someone tell me that everything is going to be OK? :/ Went for a walk last night to enjoy the sunset and take a few photos. It was wonderful, but the return to the realities of the world was jarring afterwards.

Ok. So. Is it ok if I brag a little? Just for a sec? I don't really have anyone to share this with. :) Among the chaos that is the world right now, to get this letter from my 13 year old son's school has me feeling pretty fucking stoked, ngl. I'm so proud, I could just bust.

Loving this #SiruiAurora 85mm f1.4 lens. I love that a person can have quality without spending multiples of thousands of dollars. Just to be part of the "my shit is expensive!" club. I will definitely be kitting up with more Sirui gear as I progress and start generating some cash flow. #sonyA74

I wish I was a well known and important photographer so people would send me free stuff to try and review. Because man, those reviews would be ridiculously genuine; a review done by a lay person common man.

Notes on my mirror, #257: the same rule applies to being a photographer for hire as does being in a relationship: STOP FIGHTING FOR FUCKING CRUMBS.. You bring a lot to the table, you have a lot to offer & you're GREAT at what you do. Stop fighting for crumbs when you deserve the whole fucking cake.

Had a blast trying out my new #Sirui #Aurora 85mm 1.4 last night with some of the Westshore Rebels coaches, as they put on a bit of a training camp for our JB Westshore Warriors Football team at #starlightstadium in #langfordBC last night. It was absolutely pouring, but that Sirui held up awesome!

I don't need to believe. None of these are "beliefs". These are just cold, hard facts. End of story.

Looking forward to seeing my son on the football field again this season. Win or lose, I couldn't be prouder of this kid!

Rip and Beth was the greatest love story of the last century. I'll fight you on this. #rip #beth #yellowstone #truelove #greatestlovestory

My middle son, Devlin. Oh kid, how I adore you so. <3 I swear, it was only a few weeks ago that we brought him home from the hospital. <3

Let this be but the very first of a thousand steps. Trump is hellbent of destroying everything he can so he can rebuild it in such a way that he and his cronies benefit in perpetuity. He wants to destroy your house and use the bricks to build himself a palace.

I don't trust anyone that doesn't like dogs. This is my lovely girl, Koa. This isn't the first photo I've posted of her, and it certainly won't be the last! <3 #petphotography #K9 #photography #petphotos #dogsofbluesky

It feels weird to me to witness a Humpback swimming by. It's weird to me that something that big is alive and in the water, just.. Swimming around all day. Beautiful, but terrifying all at the same time! #humpback

Moving to the Westshore Warriors football team in Langford was one of the best things we've ever done for our son. He has never been happer or enjoyed working harder than he has been these last few weeks. He's so much stronger than he ever thought.

Hey, tomorrow self; "We really want to hire you, but can't afford you" and "we're not going to hire you because you're not worth that kind of money" are NOT the same thing. Their budget is not a measure of your worth. Now, go take some photos and be awesome! Love - yesterday self.

I didn't go on any epic photo adventures today. So here's a cell snap of a rainbow on my bedroom floor. I can say there was at least one lovely moment of color and light in my day today. I thought I'd share it with you. <3 #rainbows #light #spectrum

Well, it's back to football season! Happy to be back on the field taking photos again. :) it's going to be am AMAZING season.

Today was a shit day. Here, enjoy this Anna's hummingbird that I took photos of from my bedroom window this afternoon. #sooke #vancouverisland #hummingbird #sonyA7IV

This. ALL OF THIS.

An experiment in timelapse photography. A bit jerky, but not terrible for a first try. Goodnight, Sooke! #sooke

My condolences to all the Snoop Dogg fans that are seeing his true colors today. Sellout POS. I'll never be a Snoop fan again. He's no better than any of the other two faced hypocrites that are happy to sell their morals and convictions to the highest bidder. #fucksnoop #snoopdoggisasellout

Mark Carney has my vote, simply for the fact that he is NOT Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre couldn't give a single shit about Canada or Canadians. He just wants to game the system for his own gains. He's just the Canadian version of Trump. Nothing more. #canadianpromeminister #Canada

So far, a good percentage of accounts that have followed me are fake OF accounts & bots presenting as "lonely" women looking for a relationship. Almost NONE of these accounts have any posts, follow thousands, & are followed by thousands more. I've blocked every single one and will keep doing so.

I keep telling myself that as a small business, I need Facebook/IG/Meta yo survive. But then I think about all the times I've been hindered by Meta, and realize they do nothing for me. Literally, i could leave today, and it wouldn't impact my bottom line in ANY way. So, why do I stay?

More honeybirds! My timing is getting a bit better, and I'm starting to see the results I was looking for. 😃 I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I love these amazing little dopamine dispensers. Shot on a Sony A7IV with a Sony 70-200 2.8, hand held, no flash. 1/8000 at 2.8, ISO 640.
