After nearly three years of working with Trillium Health Partners, my time has come to a close. I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've had and the amazing people I got to work with.
I always tell people this, and it's so true - if in my interview I was told that there was a pandemic on the horizon I may have had second thoughts about taking the job. However, I'm so glad I did.
Documenting and telling the stories of what was happening within the hospital’s walls was a really compelling experience.
For my last project with THP I got to tell the story of this brave family and the amazing team that cared for them in some of their darkest moments.
I'm going to miss telling these stories and working with such an incredible team. Thanks so much Trillium Health Partners.
Music Therapy Month 2022
Here is a video I created for Trillium Health Partners.
March is Music Therapy month. At THP, we’re fortunate to have two Music Therapists who work with patients. They use music to improve motor skills and work towards cognitive and socialization goals.
"Music therapy is important because it really allows people to pay attention to all parts of who they are; physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and find ways for them to connect to those areas in a way that is natural and fun for them.” Christina Weldon, Music Therapist, THP.
Throwback Thursday: WA Magazine Feature
Back in August I was featured in a Canadian arts magazine called WA Magazine. The issue was called “COVID-19: A Documentation of the Canadian Experience” and it featured artists, photographers and writers work that pertained to the pandemic. I shared a few of my photos and wrote a little bit about my experience working at a hospital throughout COVID-19. If you are interested in checking out the magazine you can download or order a copy HERE.
Respiratory Therapist Week 2021 // POTD 08.11.21
I spent an afternoon on one of the intensive care units at Trillium Health Partners to gather some images for Respiratory Therapist Week. RT’s plays an integral role in caring for patients with COVID-19. It is amazing to watch these teams work together to care for their patients.
COVID-19 Vaccine Q&A: Pregnancy
Been neglecting my media feed for a bit. It’s been a busy two months for me. I’ve recently moved into a new house and have been juggling work and life as well. I have a backlog of photos and videos I want to share. I’m going to start with a video from a Q&A I did with the Medical Director, Women’s Health at Trillium Health Partners. This was an interesting and informative series. Nothing too exciting about the videography here, but I did like the way the opening graphic looks, so here it is!
I’ve got a lot more content to share from the last little while, so be sure to come back and check it out!
Mississauga's first mass COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Closes
I had the opportunity to document UTM's mass vaccinations clinic operations from when it started to when it closed. It was a really amazing thing to be a part of. I think this will be a moment that I'll look back on fondly.
Something really special about this day was getting to spend time with the staff who ran this clinic throughout its lifecycle. They were playing slideshows of the images I took at the clinic. The staff were gathered around reminiscing about their experience. It’s moments like this that are really special for me as a photographer. To be able to capture photographs of these milestones is such a privilege. I made sure to share the images with everyone I could so they would have something to look back on from their time working at the clinic. For the staff who worked and shared memories I hope these images and videos age like a fine wine.
