MEET THE TEAM
CAPTURING MOMENTS AND CREATING MEMORIES
It takes a team of creative people and almost three months to get each edition of PEI Living to your coffee table. In the upcoming issues we thought it would be fun to introduce you to the minds behind the magazine. PEI Living wouldn't be possible without the passionate dedication of everyone involved.

Q. How long have you been working with PEI Living?
Q. What advice do you have for someone wanting to get into professional photography?
This will be my eighth issue of PEI Living, marking two full years that I’ve been working with the magazine.
Practice and practice. There are endless resources available online that will make you a better photographer every day you get out and shoot. Watch tutorials, listen to professionals, learn the rules but don’t be scared of breaking them. There are so many wonderful photographers on PEI - follow them and support them, learn about their styles, and try to create your own. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and advice from those in the profession, as many are willing to share their experiences. The learning is never-ending.
Q. What is your favourite thing about being a photographer?
My favourite things about being a photographer are being able to capture a moment in time and having the ability to convey emotion through my lens. I studied journalism at both Holland College and UPEI and pursued a career in writing prior to photography. I did journalistic writing as well as creative writing and had my own travel blog because I loved telling stories and sharing experiences. What I later learned is that I love telling stories through photos even more than I did with words. There is so much to love in this profession, including, but not limited to, meeting people, making new friends, showcasing beauty in nature, finding that perfect light, capturing magical scenes on the street as they unfold, bringing news to light, making memories for clients, and telling lengthy stories with just one click.

Q. How long have you been a photographer?
I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember. However, what really made me fall in love with photography was travelling - being able to capture foreign and unique landscapes, diverse food, smiling strangers, street scenes from around the world, and to take those memories home with me. On PEI, I’ve been working as a photographer for four years.
