The truth behind my Photography Journey... My photography journey first began as a hobby (at 12 years young!) and it slowly developed into a career. I dabbled in Wedding photography, portraits, boudoir, doggy portraits.. you name it. But what I found - is the more I ventured away from my original love of nature Photography, the more my passion dissipated. It wasn’t until I stopped comparing myself to “every other photographer”, and let go of the idealistic “photographers path”, that my own path & passion came to life. I soon came to realize… Photography is NOT my passion. My true passion comes from nature. When I allow myself to sink into nature… into the imperfectly beautiful tones of green, blue, purple and gold.. I find myself, and lose myself at the same time. I feel so at peace & in-tune with my Creator. My feet are grounded, while my creativity soars. I am fully present, my mind is still and my spirit is alive. Nature-scape photography is so much more than a hobby or a career - it’s a way of grounding, healing and expressing myself through nature. This is my passion, The art of capturing these moments… the art of healing in Nature. My greatest hope is that my photography and art would inspire you to explore your own nature, your own path & passions, your own creativity, your own growth and your own healing too. 🌻 ——————————————- #natureheals #quietbeauty #artheals #mystory #photographysouls #naturelovers #yukon #exploretocreate #aov #femalephotographer #nature #naturetherapy #naturephotography #naturescape (at Yukon Whitehorse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfU3ke8vb4s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The true Heroines of Guatemaya ❀ *Vulnerable post* Today we celebrate #indigenousday in The Yukon. It is a very special day here - & I am so honoured to live, learn and grow on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün & Ta’an Kwäch’än First Nations. Today I especially reminisce on my people - the Mayans of Guatemala. In 2018 I travelled to Rural Guatemala where I met many beautiful souls and began to discover the true colours and depths of my heritage. My heart felt so alive… yet so heavy as I began to understand the truth and devastating impact of the civil war in Guatemala. The truth is the Guatemalan civil war touched every village, if not every indigenous family in Guatemala, It lasted 36 years and claimed over 200,000 lives. Victims were mostly men - indigenous men who were kidnapped - and bodies never found. Every woman that I met had her own story. The wounds and scars for many of these widows and families- are still healing. But the beautiful part is they don’t weep alone. These widows decided to stand together and form their own cooperatives - weaving cooperatives. Silently, beautifully they support one another, and are learning how to use the art of weaving to support their families. If you listen close - you can hear them. They speak through their art - through their weaving, through the colours in their threads - blood red, healing blue and empowering yellow. Each piece tells a story of their heritage - the Mayan people. These women are ARTISTS. They are bold. They deserve justice. They deserve healing. I stand with Guate-Mayans, with the indigenous women of Guatemala, and I always will. These women are the true heroines of my country. They will be the ones who will weave healing back into Guatemala once again. ༄ #supportindigenous #guatemaya (at The Yukon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFDPupv_g5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations✨ ——————————————— This was one of those days, nothing went right. From a stalled boat motor, to getting stuck in River Mud, to paddling with a 2X4 😅 This is just one example of life in the Yukon. I have come to realize that Adventure is not always *blissful*. It often times involves challenges, facing fears, finding deep inner strength and growing. Sometimes it’s about taking that deep breath, and looking to nature to find a better way. I choose to see the beauty. I would have never seen or captured these nature moments if this was just another day on the 6 Mile River. The white feathers adorning the muddy floors, the wild birds singing and flying above me like I was the first to walk the floodplain, The bright green grass embellishing the muddy levee, dancing and swaying while majestic mountains stood in admiration. Nature and Beauty always surround us - even in difficult situations. Sometimes I think it’s natures way of telling us to slow down, to open our eyes, and to breathe it all in - this too shall pass ** ———— #exploretocreate #stayandwander #beautifuldestinations #earthoutdoors #speechlessplaces #natureheals #visualsoflife #outdoortones #wildernessculture #canoncanada #outdoorsygals #sheexplores #shecreates #sheheals #artofvisuals #createcommune #yukon #travelyukon #yukonphotographer #exploreyukon #wandercanada #imagesofcanada #discovernature #ournaturedays #outdoortones #discoverearth #naturescape #colors_of_day #naturephotography #girlscreating (at Tagish, Yukon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CesFpUbrZd-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Paint the sky of your soul with Peace ༄ This year has been a hard one my friends, we’ve seen some drastic changes and had to adapt and shift so quickly at times. I’m pretty excited to say goodbye to 2021 😂. But all the same this year has taught me the importance of mental health and self love. I have never spent so much time in nature, playing the piano, creating art, meditating, talking to a counsellor, these have been an invaluable part of my healing & growth. For me creativity & wellness go hand-in-hand. My desire is that my creativity will inspire you to do the same- go out in nature, live slow, create from the heart, Take care of your soul 💜 —————————————- Photo Art & Cinemagraph Edited with @photoshop & @motionleap_by_lightricks #createexplore #cinematography #photoart #creativeselflove (at Kathleen Lake, Haines Junction) https://www.instagram.com/amyjoyalvarado/p/CYHuWNjvhmi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let the flowers Grow,Let them be Wild; Let them paint your world & heal your soul. Be still; and Let the Wild flowers grow. 🌸🌼 It’s fireweed season here in the Yukon, I’m surrounded by fields of magenta and purple hues. And I’m so in love! It’s funny how we label many flowers as weeds, or as unwanted. I am a Wild flower. I have been through a season of growth, of quiet, of letting myself grow in places I never thought I would. I’m blooming, whether you call me a weed or a flower, I’m blooming baby. #letthewildflowersgrow #selflove #wildflowers #fireweed #yukonlife #blooming #wildyukon (at Yukon Territory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRUdHM1s8tV/?utm_medium=tumblr

• Frozen Fire • It has been too long since I'be posted on here. My life has been crazy busy with work, running a business, & moving. It's so easy to get caught up and almost lost in the whirlwind of life. I've been learning to make the effort to live in the MOMENT - to roll the window down even when it's raining. To kiss slowly in middle of a busy train station, To stop and admire that last yellow leaf before the winter comes... Even in our busy lifestyles -Stop- even if just for a second , and Embrace Life. 💙 (at Vancouver, British Columbia)
