I am a lifestyle photographer in the Abbotsford, BC area with a primary focus on family, maternity and newborn, and also enjoy doing the occasional wedding.
My passion for photography started in middle school, when I was given a film camera and access to the schools dark room. It was an amazing class that sparked my love for photography.
From then on, I kept buying small shoot-and-point cameras, trying to find one that actually captured the pictures I was looking for.  After my second child was born, my husband suggested that I find a hobby I enjoyed, so that's when I finally invested in my first "real" camera. Eventually friends and family began asking for pictures of their family and kids, which is where this adventure began. My goals and passion for capturing the raw, beautiful moments of life hasn't faded.
