Sometimes I like to use my blog to shamelessly brag about how great my friends are, and this is one of those times. <3 I met Debbie in 2013 when she impulsively decided to come on the very first Fearless Destination Boudoir Retreat. These days, the...
The Angel at Angel's Billabong This photo of Jen Fox is a favourite not just for the image itself (which I adore) but also for the perfect moment of friendship and collaboration it captured. I'm really grateful that even after all these years, I enjoy what...
There is nothing more important in life than stories. We're creating them all the time- the big, epic, where-the-hell-was-the-editor stories of our marriage or career or building a family, and the little stories of a day or a moment. I was talking to one of my Famous Photographer Friends...
This spectacular shot came together organically, as many things do on the Fearless retreats. We'd walked home from dinner (the restaurants in Revelstoke are AMAZING) and as I dallied to enjoy the night air before going inside, I glanced up and saw a silhouette cross...
Bali was nothing like I imagined. I don't exactly know where I got my ideas about Bali from, or even why I decided I needed to go. But I had a clear emotional picture of the place- serene, with lush vegetation, cool morning breezes (?!), and...
Sexy photoshoots in a historical mansion with a colourful past- and also outdoors with the beauty of the mountains all around us. New friends, great food, and just the right amount of adventure. What more could you ask from your summer vacation? Inspiration strikes at midnight Last summer...

Full. That is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Florence. Full of people, imposing stone buildings, history, art. Full of gelaterias and storefronts selling cannoli, pizza...
Her feet touched the asphalt and she almost stumbled, legs jelly from the flight, and took a deep breath of this new air around her. It was night, would have been dark but the runway was bright around her, busses waiting to take them to the...
I was going through my favourite photos today and came to one inescapable conclusion: I miss Puerto Rico. So Today I'm going to blog about one of the beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico, which we discovered on the 2013 Fearless Retreat. The beautiful Puerto Rico beach of Mar Chiquita...
We're Not In Kansas Anymore The first clue that Lucky Pierre's was not the sort of place I had been to before was the sleekly muscled male dancers taking turns on the pole in the window behind the bar. Visible to both passersby and those waiting...
The stone courtyard was lit by gas lanterns, warm, golden light that drew the photographers one by one like unwise moths. We had laughed and talked and made eerily beautiful underwater art in a pool under the stars, framed by stone walls full of history...
