Based in Vancouver, Lizzy Gadd takes photos that look like they could belong on the cover of a fantasy novel about exploring BC (and wherever else she goes). Beautiful hues and soft finishes give them an ethereal quality as they show off the surrounding beauty.

A moment so still as if frozen in time… Yet I could not grasp it long enough. 💙
