Elska Comox Valley Grad 2021

I have been photographing this brilliant grad since she was a kid, in family portraits and on stage dancing for Pantuso Dance. I have numerous photos of her seared happily in my permanent memory because her smile was so radiant - and it still is. Elska is joy, and also a buddle of warmth and kindness. She has an incredible air of knowing who she is, and at the same time a gentle humbleness. And she laughs easily, a valuable trait as she enters the social justice program at UBC (I wish I could join her) and makes her mark in the world.
