Back in 2012, I signed up to my first community art show in Ottawa to showcase my photo cards. I will never forget that first sale I made to a complete stranger. I was honoured that my photography stood on its own and that someone would want to purchase one of my images.

I had such a great time meeting people at the show that I have signed up for many more since then. I am happy to announce that I will be returning to my favourite one on November 3rd: Something New Edinburgh. If you are in town that day, please feel free to stop by and say hello! There will be 30 other local vendors selling beautiful gifts you can't find anywhere else.

Meanwhile, I have been testing the market in brick-and-mortar stores as well. I partnered with my first storefront in 2017, and have since expanded to four locally-owned retailers. 

With this success, I decided to try my luck across the river in Gatineau. Enter Marie-Josée from Habitude Design, pictured above. Earlier this month she graciously offered to carry my cards in her store. I am thrilled to be collaborating with her and other great businesses in Ottawa.

It is incredible to think how far I have come since that first sale. I am forever grateful to all who have supported me along the way!
