It’s been a few weeks since I finished the Quietly Loud Workshop with Kristine Nyborg and Felicia Chang and I’ve given myself some space and time to process what I was working on. Not all of it is ready to share but my assignment involving researching a topic of interest is ready to go. Honestly,Continue reading “Give Life”

Hello 2021
And GOODBYE 2020! I can’t help it…with the end of the year, I find myself reflecting on what has happened and planning ahead for what’s next. This year I find myself stuck on the fact that I didn’t take nearly enough pictures of my boys on my “big camera”. I think part of it wasContinue reading “Hello 2021”
Together – A Day at the Hospital
So Kane wants to write (another) book… As you have probably gathered the setting is at the hospital, in this case the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Mom: “Who are the characters?”Kane: “Me, you and the doctors…and nurses…every one of them.” Mom: “Why are we writing the book?”Kane: “For children and cause I’m making a little bookshop.”Continue reading “Together – A Day at the Hospital”
It’s In You To Give
Last year at this time our family, the Wolfe Pack, had just moved to Canmore and were preparing to return to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton for our son’s second open heart surgery. Kane, who is now 7 and doing really well, had his heart surgery on September 23rd, 2019. One year ago, thingsContinue reading “It’s In You To Give”
Personal Project: March Madness
Join me on a little visual journey of our new normal… Kane’s spring concert was the last group event we attended. It was way back on March 11th. Our home has begun to look a little different as we have tried to create some consistency and routines following Alberta school closures on March 16th. AndContinue reading “Personal Project: March Madness”
Iron Kane
Last Thursday, Kane and I were in Edmonton for an appointment with his cardiologist followed by our first pacemaker clinic. Turns out the electrophysiologist (pacemaker doc) involved with our case is actually our new neighbour in Canmore…just another interesting coincidence! Three weeks post surgery and things with Kane’s heart are looking good and we areContinue reading “Iron Kane”
Together – Heart Warrior
Together is a photography project in collaboration with my 6 year old heart warrior, Kane. Throughout Kane’s life I have photographed his medical journey and written from my perspective, but as he has gotten older I have felt it is not just my story to tell. Together is a diptych project involving both my perspective and Kane’s perspective. OneContinue reading “Together – Heart Warrior”
Heart Surgery
Last week was hard. Even with all of the love and support we had surrounding us. It was hard. When Kane was first born and we learned he had congenital scoliosis and congenital heart defects, I believed surgery meant solving a problem. Six years later, I don’t see it that way anymore. First I wantContinue reading “Heart Surgery”
CHD Dad
This is my rock. He has been there for me every time I have needed him. He deals in my particular brand of crazy unbelievably well. Friday is Harrison’s birthday. And as you have probably gathered from social media, we are still in hospital with Kane. On Thursday, Kane had a pacemaker inserted. This isContinue reading “CHD Dad”
The What If Monster
5am Saturday – 31 hours until Kane’s heart surgery I can’t sleep. I think about if I’m getting sick. I think about my to do list. I think about whether I have connected with everyone I need to about the 6000 things that we have on the go right now. I think about whether IContinue reading “The What If Monster”
