on may twelfth, i received the sweetest email from a girl named robyn. a new vancouver photographer, writing to encourage me in my work, my writing, my life. the email sat in my inbox for a few days, until i happened to click on the link she had left in her email signature. i clicked onto her blog and skimmed a few entries to see what this girl was all about. i was captivated! robyn’s blog quickly became a favourite and i immediately added it to my daily blogroll. her simple and clean style of photography, her sophisticated prose: i was hooked. i emailed her back with a, i inspire you? what! i’ve just devoured the past six months of your blog, you inspire ME!

we met for coffee a couple of weeks later. robyn and i strolled around a much-too-noisy area of burnaby with our starbucks in hand. we stopped to rest in the sunshine on a park bench, chatting, chatting away. i loved learning about robyn’s life and a few of the amazing experiences it has contained. robyn married a man named andrew [who, after meeting him yesterday, is her match in every way!] two years ago. robyn & andrew have traveled all over europe together—they lived in scotland for a full year. robyn is bilingual: fluent in french. so many of the things andrew & robyn have experienced together i look forward to someday. oh europe. robyn is a delight to be around & a delight to photograph. enjoy.

p.s. this photoshoot was a colloboration between robyn-michelle lee, vanessa voth, michelle elisabeth & jamie delaine.
