Vancouver, but make it exotic
So I haven’t set foot on a plane, and therefore have not left the west coast of Canada, for ages. Years. And while I realise this could come across as a little bit first world problems (and I get it!) I was someone who was certain by at age 7 that she was destined to be either a National Geographic photographer. Considering how local I’ve been, I am feeling more barnacle than free spirit. Some of this is due to motherhood. Also, of course, there was that whole pandemic thing. Suffice to say, I have seen a lot of Vancouver. And there are worse places to be! Vancouver is beautiful, scenic, and all the good things however it would be a stretch to call Vancouver ‘tropical’.
So when Emma (yoga teacher, surfer, adventurer, general awesome human) and I met up just before sunrise last summer and decided to see what we could create, Emma decided to bring her surfboard to really sell the tropical story we were hoping to tell.
Sunrise shoots (presuming the sun actually does, in fact, rise) are incredible and may just be my favourite. It goes without saying that the light is gorgeous and, because you are the crazy ones not still in your cosy bed, you are pretty much guaranteed the beach to yourself.
Just maybe bring coffee is all I’m saying.
