“The best part of our experience was Shea. I felt so relaxed with her, she brought a warmth, sense of ease like an old friend from the moment my hubby & I first met her. Shea asked so many questions, wanting to deliver what we were hoping for, it takes a special, compassionate individual to successfully achieve what Shea delivers, so naturally her work shines just as much as she does.

Celebrate the quiet and chaotic moments of childhood…
I believe the best family photos are the ones that feel like YOU; authentic moments that capture not only the smiles but the deep connection and joy you share together as a family.
Whether we capture your day to day silliness at home or go catch the sunset at a favourite spot around Victoria, I am so excited just to be able to hang out with you, and document what life looks like right now.
What’s the difference between
lifestyle and documentary family sessions?
Documentary
Documentary sessions are not directed at all.
Your family plans activities, and goes about their session doing what they want without instruction. From the moment you wake in the morning, until the second your head hits the pillow at night, I will be there quietly documenting what your life looks like right now. These photos aren’t “pretty” or “clean”… they are real life, raw and messy and will be valued by people who can see the humour in their day to day, or want to remember a certain stage of their family life.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle sessions are short and sweet sessions, done at golden hour!
There is a bit more posing and directing of family members, some portraits are taken as well as some directed, playful interactive shots. They are a perfect mix of staged & authentic moments, that use ideal lighting situations to create flattering images of your family.
These photos are great for people who are looking for images that depict the best versions of themselves, something to put on the Christmas cards, or something to hang on the wall.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is
captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything”
