Happy New Year: Recapping 2025 / Looking Ahead to 2025
January 2, 2025
2024: A Year of Growth and Resilience Behind the Lens 2024 was a transformative year for me as a photographer and storyteller. From earning honorable mentions with Canadian Geographic and the International Photographer’s Awards to publishing work in outlets like Digital Photo Magazine, Canadian Geographic, and CBC, it was a year of professional milestones. Highlights included an Arctic expedition with the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, where I encountered over 100 polar bears, and selling out Canada’s largest photography club—a historic first for them. However, the year wasn’t without challenges, including a medical leave from my 14-year career and a major basement flood. Despite these hurdles, photography remained my lifeline, helping me navigate mental health struggles and inspiring my advocacy for conservation and mental health awareness. Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited to launch my speaking and gallery tours, Arctic Frontiers: Life at the Edge of a Changing World, expand mental health photography projects, and start guiding photography adventures. Photography continues to be my platform for connection, healing, and change, and I can’t wait to see where the journey leads next.
