About the Photographer

 

 

Family & Lifestyle Portraits

 

I've proudly called Campbell River home for nearly 40 years, and Vancouver Island has always been where my heart is. Its forests, beaches, and coastline have shaped my appreciation for natural beauty and continue to inspire my photography.


I love photographing families, couples, maternity, newborns, graduates, pets, and professionals looking for natural lifestyle headshots. My approach is calm, supportive, and gently guided, so you'll never feel rushed or unsure of what to do. Working primarily with natural light and thoughtfully chosen outdoor locations, I create relaxed, authentic images that reflect genuine connection. You don't need to know how to pose—I'll guide you every step of the way while leaving plenty of room for your personalities and relationships to shine through.


I'm a coffee lover, an outdoor enthusiast, and the mom of one amazing grown daughter. Watching her grow up has reminded me just how quickly the seasons of life pass and how meaningful it is to preserve them. One of my favourite parts of this work is getting to know the people I photograph and telling their stories through images that feel honest, heartfelt, and timeless.


When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me exploring the trails around Campbell River with my very spoiled dog, who happily joins me on almost every adventure.
