About Me
I believe that authenticity, joy and, generosity are qualities that are worth cultivating and embodying everyday, at both work and play.
I love the outdoors which is why I now live on land across from the sea, with hiking trails at my back door.
I live my life deeply connected to Divine love. This informs all that I do with compassion and grace.
I bring years of photography experience, my love of visual artistry, and my generous, connected, fun yet professional way of being to our time together. This helps create a relaxed space where you get to be authentically you, which allows you to access a natural place within yourself. When this happens, your essence shines forth, making for a most enjoyable photography session and gorgeous legacy images.
More beautiful reasons to invite me to work with you:
I am an award winning artist
My photography and watercolour and acrylic paintings have been recognized and honoured in university galleries, in group and solo shows, and in fine art competitions. I bring this artistry and knowledge to each photo I compose so your innate beauty and radiance will be seen and captured - every time!
I am trained.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree with a major in Fine Arts from the University of BC, as well as diploma courses in Lightroom and Photoshop. I continue to hone my craft so I bring you the highest quality Digital photography.
I am experienced.
With over 30 years as a fine artist and photographer, I continue to feel the thrill of creating beautiful images. From my work as both a nature and portrait photographer, originally shooting film and now digital.
I love what I do.
My passion is hiking and being in the wild outdoors with its breathtaking beauty. Nature, with its kaleidoscope of natural light and moods, inspires me. And awakens my passion as an artist. It is a joy to capture on camera the beauty of a person or group in the beauty of the natural outdoors!
I have personality.
As a former teacher librarian, I know how to flex and relate to a myriad of different personalities and needs. I am professional and organized, And I have a warm, personable nature that creates an authentic connection. Even the most camera shy clients relax when in my presence and love their photo session.
I deliver on my promise.
I ensure that your experience is a beautiful one and that the final results are top quality. A favourite testimonial from a branding shoot was, “Oh my, I am really beautiful.” And from the mom of a bride (who didn’t like to have her photo taken) when she saw the photos of her daughter’s wedding, “You are really talented!”
I travel.
I am a West Coast photographer. For the adventurous, I love the shoreline trails and beaches of the Southern Gulf Islands and the mountain trails and lakes around Whistler and Squamish. These are among my favourite locations to photograph as they are several of my favourite locations to experience the beauty of nature! For those who prefer to stay closer to home, I have taken gorgeous family and branding photos at the seashore and wooded parks of Vancouver and Port Moody. Any natural setting lends itself to beautiful images!
