Born and raised on Vancouver Island, I’m a wild-hearted photographer here to create one-of-a-kind photography experiences for couples who want something real, intentional, and true to them. I work with free spirits, nature lovers, and romantics who are ready to ditch the rulebook and do things their own way.
This isn’t just about photos, it’s about connection, intention, and creating something that feels like you. I’m here to make the whole experience stress-free, grounded, and fun!
So tell me… what kind of adventure are you dreaming up?
Connecting with the natural world is where I feel most alive — it’s my playground, my reset button, and the space where life feels the most real. Every landscape holds its own story, and I love using that beauty to create something that feels deeply connected to the people within it.
Photography became an extension of how I already lived — hiking, exploring, and slowing down to notice the details that make a moment mean something. Out there, time softens. You’re not performing; you’re just being. And that’s where the magic of real connection happens.
My role isn’t just to take photos. It’s to be there with you — grounded, calm, and present — so you can relax into your day and simply be yourself. I want you to feel seen in your truest form, to look back and feel the warmth of that day rush back in. The laughter, the wind, the quiet moments in between.
For me, it’s about creating a safe space where you can bloom in your essence — exactly as you are. To remind you that you are already everything beautiful, inside and out.
If you're someone who feels most at home in the wild, I’m so down to tag along and tell your story. Let’s head into the woods and make memories and document the whole thing. You deserve it!
