My name is Kris (they/HE), and I can't wait to meet you!

 

Using traditional film photography methods, I will help you create art from your precious moments.

I am a queer artistic photographer who values good contrast in lighting, precious candid moments, beautiful creative details, and kind loving connection.

I want to make you feel seen, at ease, and understood. You will be able to experience your moments of joy in full with me. I offer artistic and creative photography using the timeless and engaging medium that is analog photography.

 

Film photographs will change how you view your memories, bringing authenticity and a timeless, romantic look to your special day. With over 13 years of experience, my specialty lies in 35mm film photography. I adore film photography and will never abandon the emphasis on lighting, texture, and tangibility that it brings into focus.

I come from a background of abstract and fine arts photography, and believe that this style is still evident in my current work. I am a very detail oriented shooter and you can count on me to capture beautiful little elements that most people glance past. If allowed to be creative, much of my work will include strange closeups of details, lens flares, and other extreme lighting situations.


My gear is mostly Nikon, and I shoot high quality Kodak Portra colour film; loved for its crisp detail and fabulous skin tones. If working in black and white, Tmax Professional is my first choice.

On a personal level

I am trans and value connecting with myself and my body through my work. I believe portraiture is extremely important and that leaving behind quality images reflective of a person’s soul is necessary, not an option. I practice this often with my own self portraits at home and out on adventures.

Outside of the fun of photography you can find me catching every sunset I can, hanging out in nature, at an art gallery, curled up with a good book, or creating in other ways. I am a maker at heart with big dreams for my future home and am currently working on a Carpentry Apprenticeship. This means I’m not always available for bookings so please schedule shoots in advance!

 

On My Clients; My friends

Being a kind and open human with a big heart, I promise you a fun and accepting attitude will surround our work together. I work with a wide variety of people, who seem connected in their appreciation of creation or art in some way, and who aim to live a uniquely truthful existence.

I adore connecting and forming friendships with my clients through hearing their stories, there is nothing better to me than your excitement and willingness to tell me more about yourself and your partner(s). Love stories seriously get me. I have found such inspiration and gratitude in the folks I have the pleasure of photographing.

I work best with people who aren't afraid to try something creative, my best work arises when we are open with each other and trust in the process is given.

Let's start a conversation; I'd love to hear about your hopes for working together!

 

After the shoot - Print your memories

I am a strong believer in having photos printed and framed in our homes, there is nothing more important than sharing memories with loved ones.

I offer wedding photography and engagement packages to couples in love, as well as portrait and boudoir photography services with a range of package options. After the big day, clients can further their experience through print products such as heirloom albums, prints, and canvasses. Most wedding packages include a print credit, and you can always add one on to any portrait package.

Please inquire for more information on print product, I’d be happy to send you my price list.


On my space

I will once again be offering an indoor space for which sessions can take place located downtown Ottawa.
This is my home and will only be available for shoots on select dates with full portrait and boudoir sessions.
