• OUR ROMANCE

    Our paths finally interjected when through friends we were introduced to create a short film together. Our curious spirits, fell in love with each other’s creativity, and eventually one another. After 18 years together, we are still passionate about our work, and our relationship.

Photography found me.

Hi, I’m David Dean. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, wiith over 15 years of professional photography experience, photography was a career that truly found me. An innate talent that was recognized by a friend, which eventually became a passion, that turned into a career. I have been fortunate to have captured endless amounts of celebrations, and happy real-life moments. Check out my other work at David Dean Photo.

Design is my creative outlet.

Hello, I’m Janet Lapuz Dean. Born in Toronto & raised in Calgary. After dabbling in various career paths, one thing has remained, my love for design. Everything we look at in our day to day, whether we notice it or not, has been designed, and thought about. This fascinates me daily.

After many decades of dreaming, my passion for art, design and wellness came to fruition in 2021 in the form of La Palma Spa.

You can still catch me at Romantic Rites designing and managing our social media, along with creating at Art + Colony.
