Creative portraits

Where minimalism meets emotional depth

vancouver creative portraits // Modern & Artistic


ICONIC PORTRAITS,
TIMELESS IMPACT

Creative portrait photography is about creating iconic images that feel like art, whether you use them for your business, to mark a milestone, or simply because you want something beautiful that captures this moment in time.

These aren’t just portraits; they’re part of your visual legacy.

I work with clients who appreciate a minimalist, emotive style, intentional composition, emotional depth, imagery that feels timeless.

We’ll take our time in the studio or at a location of your choice, exploring creative expression without the pressure of fitting into a specific genre or box.

This isn’t about rigid categories, it’s about creating creative portraits that reflect who you are right now. The images you receive can live wherever you need them: your website, your walls, or kept private just for you.

Ready to create something timeless? Let’s make it happen!

These Creative
portraits
stay with you

These portraits hit differently, they stay with you, they become part of your legacy.

Past clients tell me these images become a touchstone, a reminder of their own strength and beauty that influences everything they do. When you catch a glimpse of yourself on your wall or flip through your album, it’s not just recognition, it’s that “oh damn, that’s ME” moment. The kind of iconic image that makes you stand a little taller.

Your portraits aren’t just pictures, they’re proof of who you are, exactly as you are, in this moment. They become part of your legacy, a visual record of this chapter that you’ll treasure for years to come. And that? That’s powerful.

This is your chance to step in front of the camera without agenda or expectation,
just creativity, intention, and the freedom to explore. If you’ve been wanting portraits
that feel like you, let’s make it happen.

I sure do, all rad humans are welcome here. I do have personal boundaries around intimate/boudoir photoshoots so please share your vision and I can share if I am able to bring it to life.

I have two types of collections: digital and art collections. Full pricing can be found on my pricing page. Photoshoots start at $1300 and what you invest in is totally up to you.

You can add hair and makeup to any type of Vancouver photoshoot that I offer. I will set up my
preferred professional hair and makeup artist to pamer you.

Photoshoots can take place in my studio (ideal for one person looking for a minimalist editorial vibe) or can be on location in Greater Vancouver.
Travel fees may apply.

I like to suggest 4 weeks before your desired date
so that you have time to prepare with ease.

I believe in consent, and will ask your permission before I share your photos.

As I believe connection is key to having amazing photos the next step is setting up a call with me
so you can share your vision and ask me all the questions you may have. If we feel like a good fit
then I get you booked in and the fun begins!
