Oddly enough, my love for photography started with musicals.

​

For as long as I can remember, my family has been deeply involved in community theatre. With my pastel pink point-and-shoot camera in hand, I snapped thousands of photos of friends at rehearsals and backstage. It was during a local production of Annie in 2008 that I captured a single moment that changed everything. I didn’t know much about photography back then, but I knew I needed to keep going.

​

At 15, I bought my first DSLR. A few months later, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn’t know what to do, but I knew I had to do something. I offered portrait sessions to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and kept going from there.

From actor headshots to family sessions, I specialise in portraits that feel lived-in, emotional, and true to you.

​

These days, I split my time between two coastlines: the Comox Valley in British Columbia and the seaside town of Bridport in Dorset. I spend spring and summer in the Comox Valley, and fall through early spring in Bridport, following the light, the stories, and the people who make it all worth photographing.

​

Wherever I’m based, my focus is the same: turning fleeting, magical memories into timeless images that feel just as full of heart years from now as they did the moment they were taken.
