I'm Jodi

I love outdoor adventures with family and friends - side by siding, boating, padddleboarding, kayaking, skiing, camping and travelling to name a few of my favourites.
My perfect day might include an early morning paddle at the lake, a nap, reading a great book while catching some sun on the beach, an Empress gin with Fresca and lime and then supper, laughs and someone playing a guitar and singing around a campfire. If this sounds like a fun day to you - we'll probably be fast friends.

for the adventurers, the nature lovers, and the perpetually sunkissed

Nothing better than an early morning paddle at the lake and then hot dogs over a campfire. The beach is one of my favourite places to spend my summer.

I love growing flowers, buying flowers, arranging flowers and yes, photographing flowers! Fun Fact - I owned a flower shop for 7 years before starting photography.

My favourite event every single year is our local music festival in the Driftpile Valley on the solstice weekend. I've attended for over 30 years.

Nothing helps me relax like walking out to our little cabin, starting a fire, sipping tea with honey and reading a new magazine. 

I also love to head out on a Friday night and have a few drinks and play cards with my family. So grateful my husband built this for us.

THE 
FAVES

To create lasting, meaningful images of whoever is in front of my camera. I want to truly see and get to know who I am photographing and capture them in the most kind, caring, compassionate, open-hearted way I can. I want to tell people's stories with photos that they can share for generations.

I hope my photos might help spread a worldview of understanding, compassion and acceptance.

my
MANIFESTO

"i understand now that i'm not a mess, but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. i explain that now, when someone asks me why i cry so often, i say, "for the same reason i laugh so often-because i'm paying attention."
