Photography Partner: Stephanie Thompson

Professional Photographer

Kelowna raised, New Zealand born photographer serving West Kelowna and the rest of the Okanagan since 2018. 
 
When I’m not behind the lens you’ll find me with my sweet boy joey, my beautiful step daughter Saylor, my cute pup Ruby and hanging with my wonderful friends and family. I’m a cancer so I feel every emotion, I’ve backpacked Australia, I have celiac disease, I prefer savoury over sweet, and I am absolutely obsessed with golden hour portraits. I’ll make you laugh, feel super comfortable, and overall make our session fun!
 
Ive always been great with people, and now being behind the camera I want to make people feel comfortable in my presence even more so. I have a very loud and contagious laugh, a super big heart, and I guarantee I’ll have you laughing during any session we have together. 
 
If I’m doing a session with you and your sweet family, I want to capture it all! The dirty faces, the cute little giggles, temper tantrums, the missing teeth, & the hugs and kisses between siblings... as we know this only ever happens once. But must of all I want to capture the LOVE. 
 
Same goes for any couples session, mommy and me mini sessions, portraits of your dogs or even headshots! I will do my best to make you feel as comfortable as possible while having fun at the same time. I promise your partner will walk away saying “well that wasn’t that bad!!!”, because we all know the men usually dread these things.
