Meet Paulina
Oh, hi! I’m Paulina.
As an emergency nurse, I’ve seen it all—trust me. I’m calm under pressure and chill AF. I take care of people. It’s my job. And this aspect of my work spills over into photography. I’ve been told that I can see people. I can read bodies, listen to hearts, and hear what you’re saying in between the words. And I always want to learn more about you. I want to know what brings you joy, what terrifies you. I want to know the real you. My well-developed intuition picks up on discomfort and emotions to ease, adapt and bring everyone back to the reason for the day: celebrating your love and the life you’ve built together!
When I’m not bringing love to life with my camera or nursing on a remote island in northern BC, you’ll find me moving: skiing, backpacking, hiking, cycling, and occasionally trying to sit still long enough to make things — pottery, lip balm, sewing reusable cutlery pouches, or harvesting wild foods.
I like to be surrounded by people who give a shit — about the environment, Indigenous rights, social justice and standing up for things that matter.
Soo… if you’re easy going, inspired by nature and want to make the world a better place, I think we’ll get along just fine. Drop me a line!
Here are some of my favourite people/places/adventures! (click on the photo):
-
- Riding co-pilot on the Beaver. This is a typical work commute for one of my outpost nursing assignments!
-
- Salmon Glacier near Stewart, BC/Hyder, AK!
-
- This is Jeff. I’m married to him. He makes me laugh like no one else and inspires me to be a better person all the time. You might get to meet him as he sometimes he joins me as my assistant.
-
- One of our favourite backpacking trips – Bishop Pass, California.
-
- We rented a van in Iceland and explored for a week this past spring. It was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to go back!
-
- Being in the Arctic during the spring was incredible. I witnessed the ice melting, birds returning and flowers growing on the tundra. It’s a place like no other.

- This is Conan. He was my best buddy up in Gitxaała. Before he was adopted, he would join us for runs and hikes and helped keep the wolves away.

- Part of our six-week honeymoon in South America – Biking the World’s Most Dangerous Road

- This is Gitxaała. It’s a small First Nations village on the north coast of BC. It’s beautiful. The people are beautiful. I’ve learned so much from them. This is where I get to work as a nurse.

- Biking in Île d’Orléans, Québec

- Part of our six-week honeymoon in South America – Salar de Uyuni
