Meet Mars
Hey, I'm Mars Fraser
I’m a family and lifestyle photographer based in Duncan, in the heart of the Cowichan Valley.
Photography began as a creative hobby and quickly became something much more meaningful to me. I fell in love with capturing the moments that are easy to miss while they are happening.
My approach is relaxed, thoughtful, and naturally guided.
More than anything, I want your photographs to feel warm, honest, and true to you.

Testimonials
“Having our photos taken with Mars felt so easy and natural. She gave us just enough direction without making anything feel posed, and somehow captured all the little looks and moments that felt completely like us. We absolutely love how warm and genuine the photos turned out.”
Ashley & Dan - Chemainus
“Mars made us feel comfortable right away, even though we are not usually very confident in front of the camera. The whole session felt relaxed, fun, and never awkward. The final photos feel so natural and full of personality—we will genuinely treasure them.”
Jess & Tom - Vancouver
“From the beginning, Mars made the experience feel calm, creative, and completely pressure-free. She has such a thoughtful eye for light and detail, and she captured me in a way that felt confident but still completely authentic. The photos feel artistic, personal, and truly like me.”
