Meet Stephanie;
She’s called Revelstoke home for over a year now and it was so much fun to photograph her in our very short autumnal window.

Stephanie hails from Bohol in the Philippines, with it’s population of about 1,313, 500 I couldn’t help but wonder how she felt about living in a small Canadian mountain town? She absolutely loves it saying, "I've been to amazing places here! It’s quite different than home, because it's way colder here. I’ve been able to meet some awesome people, take in some amazing scenery and I look forward to making the ski hill my playground this winter.”

Stephanie moved to Revelstoke about a year ago to study, she’s taking the Tourism Management Diploma at Okanagan College here in town and likes it a lot.

I met Steph while working this past year and her bubbly personality and humor are what helped us through some interesting shifts at the start of the pandemic!!

If you want a good laugh, make friends with your co-workers and ask them to do a hair flip for your photography page!!!

It’s possible that you might find these images mundane, or wonder why I’ve decided to post, let alone take an image of a garbage bin. I cannot explain the why, or begin to tell you the sense of joy that it brings me to look at the mundane around me and capture it how I see it. I absolutely love wandering in alleys and taking photos of old things tossed aside. I find excitement wondering what unique discoveries I can stumble upon each time I take my camera out for a walk, and I love letting the camera see what I see and take images that to some, may be considered dull.
The ordinary of our lives is what we SEE daily but don’t take note of. We see it, but it becomes so familiar that we ignore it. Maybe that’s why I love seeing things others bypass on the way to work with eyes that say ‘YOU, you were made for a purpose, you deserve to be taken note of and shown to the world for all your beauty’.
Wander a few alleyways with me through this photo shoot and perhaps next time you go for a wander you too will take note of the things mostly known as commonplace [full series in the photo section].
