Zoe.
Zoe is a competitive climber and marketing creative based out of Vancouver, originally from China and adopted by her Canadian parents. We took these portraits in the fast-fading light of an evening in late September, in Squamish, BC.
Nathan.
Nathan is an Occupational Therapist and outdoor enthusiast based in Calgary, AB. Nate & I met at a Colour The Trails Ice Climbing event a couple of years back, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. I photographed him by the water one late summer evening.
Coralia.
Coralia is a climbing instructor and elementary school teacher based out of Calgary. She is also Vice-President of Soul of Miistaki. Her story centres around culture, climbing, community and identity, and how she explores the intersection of it all as a Latinx Canadian.
Mich.
I recently had the honour of photographing Mich. Being part of the climbing community in Canmore, as well as being two of few BIPOC folks in our mountain town, Mich and I have crossed paths many times over the years. After their portrait session, I asked them some questions around identity, culture and their personal journey.
Tatiana Carrion, Beads+Babes.
I sat down to photograph & interview Tatiana Carrion, founder & creator behind Beads+Babes. Tatiana makes her beautiful beaded earrings right here in Canmore, AB.
