Our Contribution
Each year I choose a charity that receives 10% from every photo session you book.
To focus on representation and social inclusion for 2023, we’re supporting WIFTA together.
Representation
I value diversity and make an effort to fairly represent people from diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, shapes and abilities. I am committed to looking back on my life's work and seeing a diverse tapestry of individuals representing the human experience from many perspectives.
What does this look like in practice?
Gender inclusive wedding questionnaires
Body positive posing and language
Respect for cultural protocol
Recognition of treaty territory
Exclusion of props or costumes that appropriate cultural significance unrelated to myself or my subjects
Well-scouted & easily accessible shooting locations for those with limited mobility
Actively seeking out opportunities for collaboration with under-represented communities.
The story I leave behind will be an inclusive and honest representation of the people around me, their pain, their joy, and the magic they each bring to the world.
If you see something on my website that doesn't align with this vision, please shoot me a message so I can fix it.
Community Partnerships
There are so many non-profit agencies in Alberta doing great work. I am privileged to have worked with many of them on photo and media projects. View the gallery below to see how I'm giving back.
