When I walk into a space for the first time, I’m not really looking at the room. I’m looking at the light.

Where it comes in. How it moves through the curtains. What it does at 7am versus 4pm. That’s what tells me what kind of story I’m going to be able to tell.

Closs Crossing gave me a lot to work with.

The morning light through the treehouse windows. The deck faced east so the sunrise came in early and golden, through the trees, catching the string lights just right. By late afternoon the whole property turned amber. The hot tub at sunset, the hammock in the trees, the still water reflecting everything back, I was basically chasing light from one corner of this property to the other and I didn’t want to stop.

The interiors were just as beautiful. Every room had its own personality: the wallpaper, the vintage furniture, the carefully chosen details that tell you the people behind this place genuinely care about how it feels to be here. That kind of intentionality shows up in photos. You can’t fake it.

This is the kind of property that makes my job feel less like work.

If you own a cottage, a rental property or a stay and you’re looking for someone to capture it, this is what I do. Feel free to reach out. 🌿

Which shot is your favourite? 👇

A huge thank you to my friend @melina.e.l.i.a.s for helping me capture this one, some shots just need a second set of hands and she was the best person to have behind the lens. 🤍

Thank you to @closscrossing for hosting me.

Ontario is big. Like, really big. And most of us end up visiting the same handful of cities on repeat, which honestly makes sense because they’re great.
But this province has so many towns and cities that fly completely under the radar and I have been on a mission to find them.

Some of these I stumbled across by accident. Some were recommended by people who clearly had very good taste. And a few of them genuinely surprised me in ways I didn’t expect.

Swipe through and tell me how many you’ve actually been to. I have a feeling most of you will surprise yourselves.

Drop a number below : how many have you visited? 👇

I still remember the first time I drove up to Bruce Peninsula. I had no idea what to expect. I just knew the water was supposed to be blue and the hiking was supposed to be good.

What I did not expect was to be standing at the edge of the Grotto looking down at water so clear and so impossibly turquoise that I genuinely questioned whether I was still in Ontario. Or to be paddling over a shipwreck from 1885 in water I could see straight through. Or to watch the sun melt into Lake Huron from Tobermory harbour.

Bruce Peninsula is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to cancel everything and just stay another day. And then another.

So if you’ve never been, or if you’ve been and want to go back with a proper plan, swipe through. I put together everything I’d tell a friend who was going for the first time. The hikes, the hidden beaches, the glamping spot, where to eat, and the sunset you absolutely cannot miss. 🌊

Save this for your next Ontario summer trip 🔖
