Principle Photographer / Owner

I'm a mom to a very tall, and loud (she get's it from me) toddler. In another life I was a Legal Assistant to a boutique personal injury law firm in Vancouver, BC. I decided that my work-life balance needed to have more life than work, and photography and owning my own business was the answer. 

I've been photographing ever since I was little girl (cliche right?), my sister and I had a fascination with capturing, providing housing for, and photographing bugs (we gave them a good home I promise). 

Since my humble beginnings of photographing the bugs of Coquitlam, I have been photographing everything from landscapes to animals and, eventually, stepping up my photography game to portraits, lifestyle photography, and weddings. 

I'm one lucky photographer, I get to do something I love, while being creative and working with some amazing clients!

I'm professional, reliable (boring right?), and super down-to-earth. There's always a smile on my face, and a laugh somewhere in the distance. 

I would love to work with you, no matter what your photography needs are (even if you want tips on photographing bugs!).

Let's chat!

About me......

What Gear Do I Use? 

I excluseviley use Canon professional grade cameras, and a host of professional grade lenses. My favourite lens right now is my Canon 18mm-135mm or my nifty fifty (50mm 1.8).

Am I Professionally Trained? 

Actually, I studied Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental science before moving towards a career in the legal field. I'm what some would call a 'self-taught photographer'. I continually take courses, and attend various seminars to enhance my skills, not to mention that my  e-reader library is almost exclusively photography related books.
