I’m naturally sentimental — not the tear-up-at-vows type, but the heart-flutter, soft-gasp, tiny-squeal-behind-the-camera type. I get excited over those blink-and-you-miss-it moments: the way your fingers brush, the shy smile before the kiss, the way you instinctively lean in toward each other without thinking.

Those tiny, in-between pieces are where the real story lives — and they’re the pieces I’ve been chasing for over a decade. Your connection, your quirks, your laughter, your energy… those are the things that outlast trends and timelines.

That’s the legacy I’m here to help you keep.

Where genuine connection takes center stage.

I guide you the whole time with prompts that take the pressure off and help you actually enjoy the experience. I’ll tease you both, get you laughing, get you blushing, and get you forgetting the camera is even there.

People always tell me, “We’re awkward,” and then end up saying things like:
  • “I can’t believe how comfortable you made us feel.”
  • “We had SO much fun.”
  • “He never smiles in photos — how did you do that?”
  • “You’re amazing to be around.”

This isn’t about performing.
It’s about connection.

Hopeless Romantic Energy with a Spark of Chaos.

I want this whole journey — not just the photos — to feel good. From helping you plan your outfits and location, to guiding you through the session, to delivering your gallery, I’m here to make every part easy, warm, and supportive.

  • You’ll never be left wondering what to do.
  • You’ll never feel pressured or posed beyond posed.
  • You’ll feel seen, relaxed, and fully present with the person you love.

Because the experience should be fun, it should feel meaningful.
And it should give you moments you want to relive — not just images you want to print.

Your love story deserves the big-screen feeling.

The Heart

Behind my work

"The perfect amount of direction. Space to be ourselves. A final image, my husband calls a masterpiece."

If you love comedies & Romance, we’re already  friends.

  • Feel most alive outdoors — wandering, exploring, stargazing, or exploring cow trails by the lake
  • Are madly in love and have the most fun when you're together
  • Swear as if it's everyday speech
  • Value connection, family, and all the little things people usually don't notice
  • Want images that are unapologetically YOU
  • Believe adventure, curiosity, and laughter make life sweeter
  • Reference & quote movies like it's your love language
  • Want your photographer to feel like a friend who’s just as excited about your love story as you are!!

We'll mesh best if you:

Nature-lover, hopeless romantic, and all-around hype queen.

I’m an explorative, sentimental wild heart who finds magic in the little things — prairie sunsets, wind-tossed hair, soft laughter, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that say everything without trying.

I’m loud, enthusiastic, and absolutely your hype queen — but I’m also the grounding, steady presence when you need someone calm in the chaos. Nature is my happy place, and photographing love is one of my biggest joys. Put the two together? That’s where I feel most alive.

How it started →

From mountains and lakes to endless skies and grasslands.

I’ve called Brooks home for 14 years, but I grew up in Kelowna, BC — Okanagan-raised with mountains, warm light, and a family completely immersed in photography. My great-grandparents started it, and every generation after added their own chapter. I grew up visiting homes lined with frames, flipping through albums filled with 4x6 prints, hearing stories tied to every captured moment. That’s where I learned that photography isn’t just art — it's connection, legacy, memory, and meaning.

My Wish for You →

Frame-lined walls & shelves filled with albums.

That’s what I want for you too.
Photos that anchor you to your story.
Photos that become part of your family’s history.
Photos that remind you who you were, who you are, and who you love.

Because honestly? What’s the point of living these beautiful moments if we don’t have something real to remember them by?

I want that!!
