Service & Investment
I offer relaxed, thoughtfully guided photography sessions across Vancouver Island for families, maternity, couples, portraits, and custom projects. Every session is designed to feel natural, comfortable, and personal, with space for real connection and genuine emotion.
Explore the options below and choose the session that feels right for you.
Family
Family sessions are designed to capture the connection, personality, and beautifully imperfect moments that make your family yours.
Instead of spending the entire session standing still and smiling at the camera, you will have space to move, play, cuddle, explore, and simply enjoy being together. I will gently guide you throughout the session while allowing natural moments to unfold.
Family sessions are ideal for:
- Immediate families
- Growing families
- Parent and child sessions
- Sibling sessions
- Family milestones
- Updated annual photographs
Maternity
Maternity sessions are a meaningful way to preserve the anticipation, connection, and quiet beauty of this season before your family changes again.
Your session can be soft and intimate, natural and playful, or shared with your partner and children. I will help create an experience that feels comfortable and true to you, while capturing the details and emotions you will want to remember.
Maternity sessions are ideal for:
- Expecting mothers
- Couples
- Growing families
- Pregnancy announcements
- Motherhood portraits
- Maternity milestones
Couples
Couples sessions are created for the people who want photographs that feel like their real relationship. Your relationship is worth documenting simply because it matters.
I use natural movement, conversation, and gentle prompts to help you feel comfortable and connected. The result is a gallery filled with laughter, closeness and personality.
Couples sessions are ideal for:
- Engagements
- Anniversaries
- Proposals
- Pregnancy announcements
- Everyday love stories
Lifestyle Sessions
Lifestyle and portrait sessions are personal, expressive, and shaped around the way you want to be seen.
Whether you are celebrating a milestone, building a personal brand, creating something artistic, or simply documenting yourself in this season of life, I will guide you through a relaxed session that feels comfortable and authentic.
You do not need modelling experience or confidence in front of the camera. I will help with movement, posing, light, and location while leaving space for your personality to come through.

What every session includes
Every session includes thoughtful planning and personalized guidance from the beginning. I’ll help you choose a location that fits your vision, prepare for the experience, and select clothing that photographs beautifully while still feeling like you. During the session, I’ll use gentle posing and natural prompts so you feel comfortable without anything looking stiff or forced.
Afterward, I’ll carefully select and professionally edit your strongest images before delivering them through a private online gallery. You’ll receive personal printing rights, along with support before and after your session whenever you need help preparing, accessing your gallery, or deciding how to preserve your photographs.
Photography Sessions Across Vancouver Island
I’m based in Duncan, in the heart of the Cowichan Valley, and I photograph clients throughout the region and across southern Vancouver Island. My regular service area includes Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Cobble Hill, Shawnigan Lake, Chemainus, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Victoria, and surrounding communities.
Because I know the area well, I can help you find a location that suits your vision, accessibility needs, travel preferences, and the overall feeling you want for your session. Whether you are looking for a quiet forest, open field, beach, heritage setting, or an easy-access location for children or older family members, I’ll work with you to find a solution that feels right.
Questions & Answers
01.
How do I choose the right photography session?
Choose the session that best matches who you want photographed and the story you want to preserve. Family sessions are ideal for parents and children, maternity sessions focus on pregnancy and growing families, couples sessions celebrate your relationship, and lifestyle or portrait sessions are designed for individuals, creatives, and personal milestones. When you are unsure, tell me what you have in mind and I’ll help you choose the best option.
02.
Where do photography sessions take place?
I’m based in Duncan and photograph clients throughout the Cowichan Valley, as well as from Victoria to Nanaimo. I know the area well and can recommend beaches, forests, fields, heritage locations, urban settings, and easy-access spots based on your vision, mobility needs, and preferred travel distance.
03.
What should I wear to my session?
Wear something comfortable that feels like you and allows you to move naturally. Soft colours, earthy tones, simple patterns, and complementary outfits usually photograph beautifully. You do not need to match exactly. I’ll provide preparation and wardrobe guidance before your session so you feel confident in your choices.
04.
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
Most of my clients feel that way at first. You do not need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll guide you with simple prompts, natural movement, and gentle direction so the experience feels relaxed rather than staged.
