A big reason we love Namasthe
A day with Isabelle makes you feel like you’re part of the earth. I could literally follow her in the forest for days. And… we would be well fed. She makes you taste, smell, and touch everything. It’s one of the most wholly-compelling experiences I’ve had with a client.
Isabelle is also one of the most generous people I know. She’s always brewing and concocting healing teas for people in the community. In fact, I was a recipient of that healing goodness when I was going through cancer treatment.
Photographing Isabelle and her partner Cédric is always an adventure engaging all of my senses. I’m deeply honored to be able to help tell their story with my camera.
We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Sinixt, the Ktunaxa, and the Syilx peoples, and is home to the Métis and many diverse Indigenous persons.
