Photographs for those who feel deeply.

WARM. DREAMY. EMOTIVE.

Hey! I'm Sydney.

I'm a Canadian photographer with roots in Nova Scotia, currently living in Aachen, Germany.

I am an extroverted introvert, a nature lover, a sensitive soul and the first to appreciate some great window light.

My internal and external dialogue is often peppered with references from The Office. I will sometimes stop in my tracks when I spot a dog because I just want to appreciate them for as long as possible. When I’m not taking photos, you can find me sitting at a desk reading about psycholinguistics and behavioural endocrinology (nerd alert) daydreaming about hiking through the Scottish Highlands, dancing along to The Temptations in my kitchen while baking cookies, or standing with my feet in the ocean, completely mesmerized by the waves.

For me, photography is about creating, supporting and documenting authentic connections between people; these connections exist between humans who are being photographed together, and between me and the humans I am photographing. I’m not just in this for the pretty photos. I’m in this for the moments of “you too?? I thought I was the only one!!” and the moments of empowerment that are created by vulnerability, honesty and acceptance. I am an individual who values the beauty in every person I meet, and I chase after opportunities to let that beauty shine. I want to capture the way that experiences feel, not just the way they look.

I’ve been called “rambunctious” ONCE in my life and “dorky” on more than a few occasions, but I think the words most commonly used to describe me are “warm” and “approachable”. (Also my mom thinks I’m funny)

If you are a fan of things like adventure and love and dorky people, let's be friends!
