June 10, 2024 - Hi friends! My books are currently closed while I focus on counselling (you can find me at The Creative Counsellor!) and some personal photo projects. I may be back to accepting client work in the fall or next year but am accepting no new sessions/bookings. Feel free to reach out - and follow me on Instagram to see what I’m pouring my creative energy into!
Sessions include a number of files of your choice in a downloadable, online gallery with additional files available a la carte, as well as a variety of terrible jokes I’ll break out during our session. I’m located in beautiful Chilliwack, B.C.
Give me a shout to book your session, and get all the details, by using the handy contact form over here! Let's talk! You can also reach me by phone, at 604 799 5503. For more information on what I offer, scroll down below. I also offer family sessions - whether that’s gathering together in a light-filled location or documenting your family just hanging out, living life, having adventures. As of 2022, my head shot sessions have changed: let’s chat around how we can create unique & fresh out of the box portraits of you.
I also offer ADHD-friendly creative mentorship through Recraft Creative as well as workshops + gatherings + events. Mentorship sessions are available across Canada by Zoom and in person in Chilliwack. The greatest talent every artist begins with is the desire to create - again and again and again. The more we create, the more we grow our skills, and the more we clarify our artistic voices - and every human being is worthy of engaging with their creative self, regardless of skill level. If you’re feeling stuck, want to clarify ideas, or just explore your own creativity, reach out - I’d love to connect with you!
healing-informated narrative photography
Narrative Photography is a way to explore your stories, selves, and experiences via visual language. They’re process-based, and we unfold them together - to explore more, let’s chat.
People use these sessions to talk about and share experiences with illness, grief, trauma, explorations of self, body neutralitiy/positivity, and more. Sometimes it starts with an image they’ve already thought about, sometimes it’s something we develop together through our meet up: often things grow, unfold, and shift as we delve into the flow of creating together. You don’t need to have a set concept or idea for us to begin. We can meet up over the phone, Zoom, or in person, with or without coffees.
This image is actually an image my mom and I created together around grief - it’s called, “It comes in waves”, and we created it on the anniversary of my father’s passing, 2021.
wild spirit sessions
You are worthy of being photographed, right now, as you are.
These are portrait sessions that often occur in nature, they’re earthy + magical and for all bodies. (All bodies are good bodies.)
After years of shooting Beauty + Boudoir sessions, Wild Spirit sessions unfolded as a way to be creative, inclusive, and unique - sessions happen in water, forests, fields, nude, semi-nude or in sweeping, majestic gowns - add on headpieces, florals, and let’s celebrate your unique light.
floral & creative headpieces & custom gowns
Floral crowns, garlands, custom pieces, horn headpieces, custom gowns - you can add on anything your heart desires. I work with a variety of amazing creators - usually the amazing Siobhan from Shiverz Designs and incredible florists like Lisa Glover Floral Design and Blossom Floral Design.
Tell me what you’re imagining, and we can start developing a session all for you.
