Who I am and How It All Started


My photography journey began when my father gave me my first DSLR camera. This gift sparked a passion that quickly grew into a career. In 2012, I decided to take the leap and turn my love for photography into a profession. After my first paying client, I focused on refining my skills and creating meaningful, timeless images for couples, families, and brands.


Originally from Regina SK, I now call Edmonton home. My international experiences and love for Alberta’s stunning landscapes deeply influence my photography, and I’m excited to capture your love story, personal milestones, and branding moments in this vibrant city.


My Photography Style & Approach


I believe in capturing more than just moments - I aim to create images that resonate with emotion and authenticity. Whether it’s a joyful wedding day, a personal branding session, or a heartfelt portrait, my focus is always on capturing the real, raw emotions that make each occasion special. My style blends romance, elegance, and creativity, and I work with each client to ensure their photos reflect their true personality.


I’m here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you feel relaxed and confident throughout the process. This way, we can create beautiful memories that feel completely true to who you are.

Outside the Studio


When I’m not behind the camera, I love exploring new destinations and cultures for inspiration. You’ll also find me experimenting with new creative projects, hiking in the Alberta wilderness, or diving into a good book. Travel and creativity are what fuel my work and keep me energized for every new project.
