This was one of my most exciting shoots this year. I was contacted by the dazzling DJ Goddess mid-summer and we arranged to shoot in Vancouver in between her international travels. And so one August morning, I headed into North Van to a multi-million dollar mansion.

I hitched a ride with my parents who were visiting my Aunt and Uncle in North Van that same day. We ended up arriving at the shoot location very early since there was almost no traffic and decided to spend the remaining time exploring. The neighbourhood was absolutely stunning; it sat­­ gracefully on the side of the mountain, overlooking the city on a shining blue day. The houses were castles. Every single one a lavish mansion. Some were pearly white with columns, others dark and brooding. We marvelled at the architecture and twisting roads.

Finally, it was time to shoot and I arrived at a great white house.

I met the owner, Monica, who graciously showed me around and offered me a seat. Soon Majay, Mindy, Priyanka, and Jessica (AKA, DJ Goddess) had also arrived and we started shooting by the beautiful pool. Everyone was so talented and kind. I loved getting to know them through this incredible project and we had a great time chatting and shooting until dusk. The makeup, styling, jewellery... everything was perfect.

I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity. Jessica is an inspiring and driven woman, and a wonderful person. I am glad to have met her and so thankful that she reached out to me.
