PHILOSOPHY
I am all about the FEELS. What are the feels? It’s that certain something. An inexplicable emotion you get, say, when you see something that moves you; taste something delicious, or hear absolute beauty. When words perhaps fail you, or are simply just not adequate. It’s honest and it starts from this spot in your heart and deep in your belly. Maybe it’s those tingles you get on the surface of your skin. You get especially fluttery in your gut and wobbly in the knees. The feels could even lift you right off the ground from where you stand. It’s a kind of TRUTH, and to me, this exists in the EMOTIONS elicited. Truth is without words, it is not heard or even seen. It lives in the in-between: in the space before thought, in the pause before action, and in the breath before speech. You just FEEL it.
APPROACH
It all comes down to CONNECTION.
It’s an intangible thing. Is it in your eyes, the corners of your mouth, your body language? Perhaps, all of the above. A person feels whatever you are putting out there. In each photograph we aim to capture your intentions, your motivations, your dreams and aspirations. The thing you LOVE and LIVE for? That’s all YOU. We want THAT! Once we click, which is usually pretty quick, the energy is contagious. It gives you the space to feel natural, relaxed and comfortable. That’s when I start clicking. By the end of the session, you will be surprised by the ease of it all. You will have fun and will walk away smiling. In return, you get honest, genuine, and engaging photographs.
WHO ARE MY PHOTOGRAPHY CLIENTS?
Above all else, my clients are human beings with all of their diverse experiences and stories. They are soulful and deep even if they don’t realize it. What do they do? They are healers, listeners, and leaders: from counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, naturopaths, yogis, guides and coaches; to physicians and other STEM professionals doing incredible world changing and life saving work. They are fighters who stand by our side: environmentalists, health and fitness coaches and trainers, to lawyers from family, immigration to constitutional and aboriginal law. They are creators, creatives, CEOs, entrepreneurs, educators, finance professionals, marketing and advertising professionals, organizers, motivators, movers, shakers, introverts, and extroverts.
WHO AM I?
I am a Vancouver based Professional Portrait + Lifestyle Photographer. Working professionally since 2012, photographing professionals from a variety of industries for portraits, commercial branding, and creative and editorial portrait photography. My focus is on providing superior client care and photography that is impactful and genuine. By nature I am energetic, intuitive, a little geeky, and full of love. I am a feeler and inspired through CONNECTION. In my work, when that connection exists, there’s an energy and oftentimes, we’ll get swept up in it. You might see an impromptu mini happy dance and hear, “There it is! I love it! I love you…! Sorry, too soon? I get excited sometimes!” That pretty much will sum up your experience.
I’m the one trying to grab that split second when no one else is really noticing. When there is no pretence, just that wordless thing I call truth. I may also be that same person, who allegedly backed into the side of a horse when trying to get that “perfect shot…” but I am unable to confirm or deny any of it.
