This past summer, I got to work at @theheartofriv once again and was given the opportunity to take photos for Cypherfest (Our amazing Breaking Festival). It got me excited to pick up a camera again and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you as well to @elijahbekk_music and @mia_houde for letting me use these photos!
I was recently scrolling through my photos I took the past while and I stumbled across this one.
While it really isn’t anything special at all; this photo began to make me feel something deeper than just the basics of the image.
This snapshot was captures in early spring of 2021 nearing the end of my school year in Edmonton. Throughout the duration of my stay there was this ladybug - or more than likely, generations of ladybugs - that were living in my apartment window. Since my entire life at the time was essentially staring out that window or at some form of electronic, these ladybugs brought me quite a bit of peace. They were the only form of nature that I had interacted with daily as leaving the apartment felt like a daunting task in the midst of a global pandemic. There were weeks or probably even months where I rarely left the apartment for longer than 30 minutes.
This ladybug felt like a sense of normality. While I and many others were cooped up inside, these beautiful creatures had no sense of the situation the world was in. In a way, I am thankful for these little bugs that inhabited my home because I strongly believe that when I began spiraling they aided me in grounding myself.

After starting my new job at @theheartofriv , I have had the chance to do some fantastic new things. One absolutely amazing time was getting the chance to help shoot a music video for a local artist. Please check them out! I promise you won’t regret it
