This session started as an idea I could not shake.


I wanted to play with a single bold element and see how it carried through a series of images. Red felt right. Strong, expressive, and a little unexpected against the softness of a spring morning. From there, everything else followed naturally.

We met just after sunrise in Bannerman Park, while the park was still quiet and the light was low and directional. The air was chilly, the grass still damp, and the light shifting quickly. Instead of working around those things, we leaned into them.

The apple and red florals became part of the story almost instinctively. A small detail, but one that added contrast, texture, and a touch of playfulness. It brought movement to the images without overpowering them, and tied beautifully into the idea of colour as a focal point.


What I loved most about this session was the balance. The boldness of the red against green. The softness of the light paired with more direct, editorial moments. The mix of quiet, observational frames and stronger, more intentional portraits. Nothing felt rushed. We let the session unfold, letting the light guide us rather than fighting it.

This shoot was very much a reflection of how I like to work. Thoughtful, experimental, and not afraid of less than perfect conditions. Spring mornings can be unpredictable, but that unpredictability often creates the most interesting images.


I loved how this one came together.
