Did you know that most photographers have a gallery turnaround time of 8-12 weeks? That’s 2 or 3 MONTHS! 🤯 And you wouldn’t believe how many posts I’ve seen from stressed out couples who are past that 3 month mark. Just trying to reach out to their photographer for an update, with no success. If […]

Trey and Greg joined us in Downtown Victoria for a little wedding photo re-do. Trey told us that unfortunately, they only had one photo from their wedding that was “print worthy”, and it wasn’t even of the two of them! So putting their wedding attire back on for some fun photos just seemed like the […]

If you know me, then it makes complete sense as to why I chose to offer a special promo on a roller skating photo session. I’m OBSESSED with roller skating (and figure skating and hockey… anything that lets me feel like I’m flying). I got my roller skates in February of 2021. Quickly, I knew […]

Taylor and Curtis had originally planned a big traditional wedding in 2020. With everything that happened, they had to reschedule and got thinking about what THEY really wanted in a wedding. They realized that a big wedding wasn’t for them. Sharing that moment with just the two of them would put them at ease. Additionally, […]

Julie and Travis are from Alberta. So naturally when they visited Vancouver Island, it was only fitting to have a moody PNW ocean photoshoot. Being a photographer herself, Julie wasn’t afraid to get in the water for the shot. She actually came prepared in a bathing suit, and towels! There’s nothing quite as fun as […]

These two made this bright sunny couples session even more bright with their sunny attitudes! Although it was sunny, it was WINDY and quite cold by the ocean in Victoria. But we made the most of it with lots of cuddly poses and taking advantage of that wind swept hair. A blanket or scarf, will […]
