Heart Project

I absolutely love shooting weddings. They are what I shoot most often. Once in a while, however, I get to be creative on other projects. Last summer it was the Canada Summer Games. This spring my church asked me to create photographic art for our bulletin covers during Lent. This is a project I have been thinking about for years … not specifically for Lent or for our bulletin, but a concept project. I was given the themes for each of the 5 Sundays prior to Holy Week and was tasked with developing concepts to match. I provided 3 – 5 images each week and it was so exciting to see which one would be chosen. I’m happy to share them with you here!

Thank you so much to my family and our friend and neighbour for working with me on this. I couldn’t have done it without you!
