Photographs you will still look at in twenty years.

Documentary, warm and never stiff. I photograph weddings, portraits and products for small brands - based in Vancouver, travelling across BC.

Approach

I am not chasing the perfect frame. I am looking for the moment just before it - a glance, a laugh, a hand fixing a collar.

Most of the day I work quietly from the side and only direct when it helps. That is why people in my photos look like themselves, not like catalogue models.

How a shoot works

From first message to finished gallery

  1. I

    Inquiry and date

    Check your date on the site and send a few lines about the day or the project.

  2. II

    A short call

    Coffee or a 20-minute video call: timeline, locations, the people and shots that matter.

  3. III

    The shoot

    I arrive early, work unobtrusively and keep an eye on the schedule, the light and the details.

  4. IV

    Online gallery

    A first 30-image preview within 72 hours, the full edited gallery in 2 to 4 weeks.

Delivery

A private online gallery, ready to share.

Your photos arrive in a password-protected online gallery: full-resolution downloads, web-sized versions for social media, a favourites list and a link you can send to guests. The gallery stays live for a year, and prints and albums are ordered straight from it.

Kind words

We barely noticed her taking pictures, and then we cried going through the gallery. My grandmother has not put the album down since.

Claire shot 40 products for our online store in one day. Sales picked up noticeably because the pictures finally look like the pieces in person.

I hate having my picture taken. After half an hour I forgot about the camera and got a portrait I now use everywhere.
