Cultus Lake

Eclipse Goddess | Chilliwack Creative Photographer

What feels like ages ago I did this beautiful shoot at Cultus with Siobhan D’Souza from Shiverz Designs, Audra and makeup artist Kayla Marie. This was just before the flooding started - we shot this on the day the rain began and editing went to the wayside as everything unfolded over that tough time for so many - I love going back through shoots like these and trying new things with them, so here are fresh edits! This shoot was such a bright spot in that time - it was also right around the time of the eclipse, so we named this series, “Eclipse Goddess”.

This is my favourite kind of weather to shoot at the lake in (minus the torrential rains) because everything is so rich and moody looking

"She stood there: she listened. She heard the names of stars" - Virginia Woolf

Spent a good chunk of tonight getting deep into some Virginia Woolf quotes and revisiting one of my favourite maternity sessions ever with Jennifer Marie. (I think every maternity session is my favourite maternity session though, no lie).

"I think sometimes I am not a woman, but the light that falls on this gate, on this ground. I am the seasons. I think sometimes, January, May, November; the mud, the mist, the dawn" - Virginia Woolf, the Waves.
