Top British Columbia Art & Culture

Being a seasoned professional photographer and having worked with people from all walks of life, I am conscious of peoples hesitancy to have their pictures taken. Because I have photographed professional and non professional models and have years of experience with helping people feel relaxed, I can assure anyone booking a photography session will have a fun, enjoyable and memorable experience. I offer suggestions on posing, what to wear and have a laid back approach which allows for capturing the essence and personality of my guests. My belief is that being connected with one another, nature and being in " The present moment " is challenged today by technology and busy schedules. These photography sessions are a vehicle for people to connect. The time spent doing the photos has much greater value than the actual photos. For me this offering is more of a spiritual thing. Giving people keepsakes is something I take seriously while believing life should be fun and fulfilling.
