Every business has a story to tell, but the strongest brands don't leave that story to chance. Before we plan locations, outfits, or even the first photograph, we'll take the time to understand your business, your audience, and how you want people to feel when they discover your brand.
What drives you, what do you value, who is your audience, and what is your vision for the future? By diving deep into your story, I'll create images that tell your brand story and feel authentic to who you are and the vision you are building.
Every image is created with intention.
Together we'll build mood boards, map out where your images will be used, and create a shot list that supports your website, social media, marketing, and future launches. Every photograph has a purpose, ensuring your gallery isn't just beautiful, but practical, cohesive, and aligned with your brand.
Clients are more likely to engage with a business that looks polished, professional, and full of personality. It helps your audience know that this isn't just a hobby or a side project but someone they can trust.
In today’s digital age, visuals are key. From your website to social media platforms, cohesive and professional images enhance your brand’s online presence, making it stand out and show people the real person behind the business.
Professional photos create a strong first impression that aligns with your brand values and helps the right audience connect with you. Photos that make them say, 'I'm in the right place'.
Professional branding photos go beyond simple headshots. They visually tell your story, showcasing who you are, what you do, and what makes your business unique, automatically building authenticity and trust with your audience.
On the day of your branding session, my goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident during the session. I will give you prompts and poses to help you feel at ease. No matter your style or vision for the project, I'm here to help you capture images that are true to your brand.
Before your session, we'll meet to dive into your business, your goals, and the people you want to reach. Together we'll create mood boards, refine the visual direction, and build a detailed shot list so every image has a purpose. Whether it's your website homepage, social media, speaking engagements, or your next launch, we'll create imagery intentionally designed to support the way you actually market your business.
Your images and video content will be available via an online gallery within 4-5 weeks of your session date. Your content will be perfect to use to maintain consistency across all platforms, from your website, social media, advertising and so much more!
Choosing outfits that perfectly match your vision can feel overwhelming. I'm here to help you pick a few different looks that perfectly align with your business and who you are, making sure to capture the tone of your brand perfectly. Whether your style is polished and professional, casual and approachable, or something in between, I'll help you select pieces that complement your brand.
From an outdoor setting that reflects your creativity to a polished studio space, your own home or property, or even a unique AirBNB, the possibilities are endless.

Angela is AMAZING! She was so kind and gentle, she made me feel so comfortable. Her pictures are BEYOND incredible and I am so happy I used her services for my branding photos. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.

Telling your authentic story starts from the moment you inquire. I take the time to really get to know you and your family, and then we work closely to plan out the session of your dreams.
During the session, I give you space to be yourselves, while guiding you as little or as much as you need.
My sessions are full of movement, play, and connection, which allows you to settle in and genuinely enjoy the moment.
I'm not there to capture an idea of you I have in my head, I'm there to capture you as you are, authentically and artfully. Through noticing the little details and moments, I capture your love as it truly is!
I believe the most meaningful photographs happen when genuine moments are given the space to unfold naturally. Every location, composition, and use of light is chosen with intention, creating the perfect setting for your story to unfold. I'll gently guide you into beautiful light, natural movement, and meaningful connection, then step back and allow your unique interactions to lead the way. Beautiful photographs aren't created by choosing between authenticity and artistry. They happen when the two work together. The result is imagery that feels honest, emotional, and thoughtfully crafted without ever feeling forced.
Reschedules are decided the morning of the session as our weather is so unpredictable. Reschedules are made for rain or any other extreme weather. We do not reschedule for cloud cover and I cannot guarantee a sunset unfortunately.
Up to 6 people are included in the session fee. After that, it is an extra fee per person. I do not do extended family sessions at this time.
The one thing that I have learned from both, being a mother and a family photographer, is that kids do best when we go into something with no expectations. My sessions are play based and low-pressure, allowing for kids to open up and be their authentic selves. When they don't want to do something, or they are unhappy, we just give them space and move onto something different.
Through my 18 year career in Nursing, and being the mama of a neurodivergent child, I am very comfortable working with children of all abilities. The tools that I have gained allow me to meet every child where they are at, and together, we create beautiful and authentic images that capture your family's beautiful story!
Absolutely! I love to incorporate your family into maternity sessions. I believe this is how we capture your current season of life authentically and artfully. My sessions are full of movement, connection, and play, making them perfect for telling your family's unique story.
Newborn sessions are booked based on your due date. This holds your spot and then we set a date that works for us both once your little one arrives. Newborn sessions are weekdays, mid day. I suggest booking your newborn session between 16-28 weeks to ensure availability.
For those sleepy images, newborn sessions are ideally done between 1-3 weeks of age. Because my style is lifestyle based and focused on connection, this time frame is flexible!
When planning your outfits for your maternity session, it is important to focus on comfort and movement. My sessions are full of movement, play, and connection and you want to be able to move freely in your outfits.
I like to start with the feeling or vibe you want to have in your images, and then take the location into consideration. For example, for a cozy in-home session, you don't want to wear an elaborate gown! Instead, choose an outfit that makes sense for the story you are wanting to tell.
I love incorporating different fabrics and textures when planning outfits. Natural fabrics such as linen or flowy fabrics are beautiful for beach sessions.

Maternity sessions are ideally done between 28-34 weeks. This is to be sure that your bump is showing but you are still comfortable. Each person is different and some prefer to do sessions earlier when it is a pregnancy with multiples or it is not their first. Mamas of multiples often do their sessions about 4-6 weeks earlier.
I work closely with my clients to plan their session! I am available to help with outfit styling, hair and makeup artist suggestions, location options etc. Each package includes a questionnaire, prep guides, and a phone or zoom consult so that we can personalize your session.
I have Victoria photography location guides as well as styling guides for all types of sessions here:
Check out my resources!
I choose locations based on a clients needs/wants but I also ensure that the location has good lighting that time of day, isn't too busy, and has a lot of room for us to move around.
My outdoor session start times are 1-2 hours before sunset based on location and weather. Sunrise sessions may also be an option for those super early risers! For in-home and newborn sessions, these are during daylight hours.
Turn around time may vary but is generally 4-5 weeks. Please see your contract for specific details.
I don't offer traditional "mini" sessions. I offer half-sessions which are a full 30 minutes but sessions are only held a couple of times of year and are on specific dates/locations. Join my email list to be first to be notified!
For portrait sessions, I allow between 1-3 hours based on the package that you choose. This is an estimate and timing is primarily based on how much time is needed to capture your family authentically.
I service the Victoria and the surrounding areas such as Langford, Saanich, North Saanich, Sidney, Colwood, & Sooke.
I also offer Tofino-specific packages that include all travel fees!
For areas outside of this, a travel fee would apply. I am always open to travel for a session, so send me a message! Travel fees are waived if I am already in your area so you can also inquire about my travel schedule! I often travel to Vancouver!
