Who doesn't love a good scavenger hunt!? I started making hand drawn scavenger hunt pages when my kids were small to keep their interest when we hiked. They love being able to check things off their list as we explore our favourite parks and trails (and usually earn a treat at the end). I'm so happy to be able to offer these sessions with an extra special takeaway-your own double-sided nature scavenger hunt that you can use again and again! For this photo session, we'll visit a park or trail that's special to you while looking for amazing things in nature to check off our lists. We'll capture lots of candid moments as you and your kids explore our beautiful forests and of course leave time for some family photos surrounded by nature.

I love telling stories through images and I am constantly documenting my own family to ensure my kids have a visual history to look back on. I'm just like you, between grocery pick ups and school lunches, I feel like there is never enough time in the day to appreciate the everyday moments. Let me help you freeze time!

A family session is all about connection. Those genuine candid smiles and laughs. Not your typical stand beside each other stiff and smile, those pictures show what a person look like. My goal is to create images that make you feel! That when you look at them years down the road you smile because you are taken back to that moment when your children were just little, and you remember the sound of their laugh or the way they looked at you. These sessions are fun and relaxed. I'm happy to suggest some great locations depending on the setting you'd like (field, beach, forest, mountain etc.) and I am available within the greater Victoria area. If you'd like an adventure session please inquire, these can be like a mini day trip where I photograph your family exploring, or enjoying an activity with a beautiful variety of candids and some posed. An example: visiting Avatar Grove or Botanical Beach, a local hike, surfing in Tofino, etc.

A mix of candid and posed that show connection! the Family Mini Session (20 min) is great for those with younger ones who may not be up for a longer session, or those only wanting a few images (15+ images) the Family Full Session (45-60 min) is ideal as it gives a longer time for children to warm up if they may be shy/uncertain, as well as provides for a greater diversity in background settings on location, and for creating beautiful albums (40+ images)
