Photography is a

funny thing

We spend money on photographs in the present, but their real value often reveals itself much later.

A photograph might feel like a nice thing to have today. Ten years from now, it may be the photograph you reach for when you want to remember exactly how someone looked, how they held your hand, the way your family fit together, or what life felt like in that particular season.

And sometimes, a photograph becomes something even more important.

A way for someone who wasn't there to know the person who was.

A way of keeping a story alive.

A way of remembering.

And, particularly when I'm photographing someone who is nearing the end of their life, or a family experiencing profound loss, there is the responsibility of being present for something that matters enormously. I don't take that lightly.

Even the obituary photograph. (Yes, I really do take a great obituary photo. 😉)

Payment plans are available.

I also offer photography for families facing serious illness, end-of-life, and loss, including memorial photography for babies who are stillborn.

This work is very close to my heart.

I have a deep respect for the experience of death and dying, and for the complicated ways that sorrow and joy can exist beside one another. There can be tenderness in these moments. There can be love. There can be laughter, even in the middle of terrible sadness. And there can be an enormous need to remember.

I approach this work quietly, respectfully, and without assumptions about what your experience of grief should look like. Sometimes the photographs are of a person. Sometimes they're of the people around them. Sometimes they're of tiny hands, a familiar face, a wedding ring, a favourite blanket, or the way someone is being held.

Whatever is meaningful to you, that's what matters.
