surrey family photographer
Photographing families who value connection over perfection, who laugh easily and love deeply.
If you want portraits that feel natural, candid, and true to who you are, I create relaxed family photography sessions in the beautiful landscapes of Surrey, BC, so you can simply enjoy being together while I capture it all.
Hi I’m Michelle!
I believe family photos should feel joyful, not like another thing on your to-do list. I love capturing genuine moments that celebrate connection - laughter, love, and all the little in-between moments that make your family yours.
My sessions are easy, relaxed, and filled with warmth. Even if you think you’re awkward or “not photogenic,” I’ll guide you so you can feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
I focus on modern lifestyle family photography that feels natural and true to you - turning everyday backdrops into beautiful memories you’ll be proud to display on your walls.
Let’s bring joy back to family photography, one beautiful session at a time.

My work specializes in natural, relaxed photography that captures genuine emotions and real connections. I combine traditional, documentary, and lifestyle photography to capture authentic images for you to treasure for a lifetime.
I will provide a generous gallery of images that can be displayed in your home as pieces of art. These photographs will be an investment in your family history. Images from your session often tell a story, capturing a treasured moment in time. I do not try to make you look perfect, stiff, or unnatural. I am not after that "one" shot with everyone looking at the camera and smiling. Sure, I may get some with everyone looking and smiling, but I promise if I do, it will not feel stiff or forced.

I am a natural light, on location photographer. Together we will choose the perfect location for your session.
For Fine Art Mini Sessions, I will continue to use natural light, and the Steveston, Richmond, BC location will be determined.
