What are you hoping to capture?

Hi, I'm Natalie

Coquitlam photographer capturing heartfelt moments you'll always come back to

To me, the best photographs are the ones where you can feel something - a real laugh, a quiet look, a moment that actually happened.

Maybe you're waiting on your first baby, keeping up with toddlers, marking a new chapter as a couple, or simply feeling like this season of your life deserves to be remembered. Whatever brings you here, my job is to make the whole experience feel easy and unhurried.

I'll help you pick the right spot around the Tri-Cities, figure out what to wear, and gently guide you once the camera comes out - so instead of worrying about how to pose, you can just be present with the people you love. That's when the real photos happen.

Favourite places to shoot around Coquitlam & the Tri-Cities

When we're shooting outdoors, Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities are full of lakes, forest trails, and waterfront light - some of the most varied backdrops in the Lower Mainland. A few of my favourites:

Photo session FAQs

Do sessions happen in the studio or outdoors?

Either - or both. The Coquitlam studio is ideal for maternity, newborn, portrait, and headshot photoshoots, particularly through the wetter months. When the season is right, I love heading outdoors to spots like Buntzen Lake, Mundy Park, or Rocky Point in Port Moody.

Which outdoor locations do you recommend around Coquitlam?

Buntzen and Alouette Lake for still water and forest light, Mundy Park for deep Pacific Northwest greens, Minnekhada for wilder, more dramatic backdrops, Pitt River Dike for open golden-hour skies, and Rocky Point for coastal sunsets. If you're unsure, we'll choose together based on the season and the feeling you want.

How early should we book?

Wedding dates go quickly - often six months to a year ahead for peak season. Family, maternity, and portrait sessions usually need just a few weeks' notice, though spring and fall fill up fast in the Tri-Cities.

Do you help with outfits and planning?

Always. After you book, we'll go over locations, timing, outfits, and all the small details together. I'll point you toward colours and styles that photograph beautifully in natural light - you just show up as yourself.

When do we get our photos?

Your edited images arrive in a private online gallery, ready to download and print. Typical turnaround is 2-3 weeks, slightly longer for weddings.
