Why Chips?!

Because they make me happy…Greetings, chip-loving souls! Larissa here, the proud aficionado of snack time delights! In case you missed my chip-fueled confession on the homepage, I'll proudly admit that I can conquer a family-sized bag solo in under 30 minutes – a dilemma I'm diligently tackling.

Based in the picturesque Fruitvale, B.C. nestled in the stunning West Kootenays, I'm your go-to photographer if you're on the hunt for someone fun-loving, mildly quirky, and creatively snack-inclined. Behind the lens, I'm the one capturing, documenting, and cheering you on, even in those awkward moments when you realize a camera's focused on you. My photography style is laid-back, playful, and occasionally a tad saucy (hello, couples and empowered women!). What sets my soul on fire is capturing those real, raw, in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours.

Over the past couple of years, I've invested in education, top-notch equipment, and forged friendships in the industry that are pure gold. Photography isn't just my passion; it's my livelihood and the dream job I never thought possible. It grants me the incredible flexibility to be with our two adorable, busy kids while crafting a work schedule that fits our family seamlessly.

Beyond the lens, I'm a fall enthusiast, hat collector, wine connoisseur, caffeine devotee, thrifty shopper, and a wife and mother who fully embraces the comfort of sweatpants. On most days, you'll catch me multitasking – either chasing after my little ones while tidying up or glued to the computer with a cup of coffee, working during every spare moment.

When it comes to my craft, I'm a devoted natural light photographer. No elaborate setups with lights or backdrops – I thrive on using what's readily available, whether it's a plain or brick wall or the breathtaking outdoors. While nature holds a special place in my heart, I also appreciate the coziness of indoor shoots near large windows, especially during chilly winter months or for intimate sessions like newborn and boudoir photography. My style has evolved over the last two years, both in capturing clients and refining my editing techniques. This past year has reinforced the importance of staying true to myself and my unique style.

After exploring my galleries, if you feel a connection and believe I could be the right fit for you, shoot me a message! I'd love nothing more than to chat and bring your vision to life.

Lots of love,

Larissa
