Hi
I’m a Canadian who came to Mexico for a two-week house sit… and never left.
Nine and a half years later, I’m still here—living a life I once believed was reserved for “someday.”
For years, I searched for ways to fix or heal myself—moving through every modality, method, and transformation I could find—until something quietly shifted.
I realized I wasn’t broken. Only my perception of myself was.
I didn’t need fixing. I needed remembering.
That remembering changed everything—how reality works, how identity is formed, and how powerfully we create our lives. And it brought me back to what has always been there, quietly waiting.
Photography.
I fell in love with it at 11 when my grandparents gave me my first camera. I studied it in college, won awards, dreamed of it fully… but eventually stepped away. Fear wwas louder than desire. I wanted to be like Annie Leibovitz—yes, back in the film days—but convinced myself it wasn’t realistic, I wasn’t good enough.
So I paused the dream… but the dream never paused me.
It waited.
Patiently.
Until I was ready to stop postponing my own life.
The moment I let go of the idea that I needed fixing, everything opened. I stopped treating myself like something to repair, and began choosing myself.
Today, I am a Fine Art Photographer specializing in self-portraits and ICM (Intentional Camera Movement). My work merges photography with the exploration of identity, perception, and the creation of reality.
Through visual storytelling, I express what I have come to understand as truth—the essence of who we are beyond conditioning, noise, and illusion. My work is not just about images. It is about remembrance.
Self-portraits and ICM—where I quite literally paint with my camera—move beyond logic and into possibility. They dissolve structure and invite something deeper to emerge.
When I am not creating, you’ll find me hiking in nature or on the beaches with my dogs. I love early mornings with my americano, good chocolate, Mexican markets and amazing dinners with awesome friends, food and deep conversations. oh yeah, and siestas in my hammock too!
Thanks for being here
Jodi
