I offered bathtub boudoir sessions out to my following, and booked a few gigs. My dear friend Brenna turned the big 3-0 this year, like all of us in my core friends group, and so I offered her a session to […]

Adventurous Little Qualicum River Photo Session An adventurous Vancouver Island outdoor couples portrait session, set against the incredible Little Qualicum River that has carved its way through hard rock over centuries.

This was their […]
