Finally, a profile photo you actually like.

These aren’t your standard headshots. I specialize in authentic portraits that look candid and authentic (rather than posed, or staged).

There are 4 great locations within Vancouver, BC to choose from. Or choose your own location and get photos taken at your home/office.
- Coal Harbour - Great mix of city streets, cafes, green parks, and the seawall.
- Yaletown - Urban cityscape with a variety of backdrops, including the seawall.
- Burnaby Civic Square - A small scenic park in the middle of Metrotown area.
- Brentwood - Close to cafes & green areas, including Willingdon Heights Park.
- Custom Location - Shoot in your home/office/etc. ($100 added fee)
That's the secret... everyone is photogenic! You just haven't worked with a photographer who was dedicated to finding all your best angles.
My superpower is helping everyday people look incredible on-camera. I'll provide expert guidance on poses & facial expressions to ensure your photos look natural & candid.
Want proof? Check out my Stranger Portrait series on Instagram. I surprise random strangers with a 5-minute photoshoot and give them photos they love.
That's just a preview of what you'll get when working with me. But instead of 5 minutes, we'll spend 2 hours together finding all your best angles.
Portrait Pricing:

Session Details:
You are free to bring as many different outfits as you like (we do outfit changes in the restroom of a local coffee shop).
Once we start shooting you will get coached on posing and expressions. No fake smiles, or strange poses. Your photos will look natural & effortless.
After the session is complete you will receive a private gallery to go through your edited images. I will point out my personal favourites, but you always have the final say in how many images you want.
Private sessions will not be published to my 'Stranger Portrait' series, but I may publish them on my Instagram Stories, website or other social media.
All of my Stranger Portraits are unplanned, unstaged and 100% random, so I don't take any requests (sorry!).
