"I was totally unaware food. At the time I had no idea how unaware I was but I just knew it was something I needed to pursue". Self-described as having an extreme personality, she delved herself in entirety, and what started as simply cooking for a small group of people, quickly snowballed into lunch orders that she could barely keep up with. 

Her long journey has been filled with some serious eye-opening moments, "when speaking about entrepreneurship, no one has instant success. For some reason, I had the idea that it was going to be really fast, and it's not. And when you really dig in and do some research into businesses that you admire, we're talking 10-15 years later they're a thing".

This can be seen in the harmonious chord between the colour palette of her sets, wardrobe, lighting, leading lines and poses of the models; a balance of meticulous effortlessness. An element of analogue helps smooth it all together, she says: "Any creative personal shoots I'll try to only do film; with clients I'll try push shooting at least 1 or 2 rolls. It's a return to a slower movement of things, and thinking about things more carefully."

Pam is methodic and serene during her shoots  — this translates thematically through to her images. Watching her on set is akin to seeing someone carve a sculpture, etching away each frame until there's something she sees that's visually pleasing. She goes on to say, "a good image for me taps into something subconscious we're not aware of".

A big shoutout to Pam, she’s a must-follow on Instagram and Twitter. As always for more stories like these sub, like and share, it helps us grow!

As of recent, Jenn's been shifting focus to discovering passions and travel, "I always want more — to see more and do more, to experience it all. That's kind of the best form of education. You can learn so much just from meeting other people and seeing their way of life" My favourite takeaway, however, from my time with Jenn was her appreciation that life isn't perfect, it's a continual work in progress: "I never want to feel comfortable — I want to be happy, but I always want something that continues to push me" This don't settle attitude is something refreshing that I found inspiring. We wanted to thank @29nash’s for hanging out with us, and as always for more stores like these sub, like and share!

You see Gabby has been hard at work, taking part in many projects, but more notably co-founding @laundrybear with her partner. What started out as part necessity and part fascination has now culminated into the start of a refreshing game development venture. Gabby, a self taught game-designer, learned of her obsession at a young age.

Having grown up around gaming myself, it's amazing to hear Gabby talk about how different things are now in this realm. She talks passionately about where she hopes and envisions it to be. For one she wants the community to become a more diverse one, and she is actioning this by being a leader in different groups and speaking at various events, "when you have a non-diverse group making and playing games, you're missing out on so many different perspectives". It's quite amazing to see someone thrive so well in their atmosphere and take pride in what they do. 

If you're not already, you need to follow @gabbyfromtoronto and her company @laundrybear and as always for more stories like these, subscribe, like and share!
