Banff & Area photographer

I love Banff and Lake Louise so much, I mean common, where better to take photos!? Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore, and Cochrane all offer breathtaking backdrops that help elevate your most cherished moments. Whether it's with your family, or with your special someone. You can stand on the side of Lake Louise, surrounded by snow-capped peaks that reflect in the vibrant turquoise water - or if the lake is frozen over we can take some beautiful photos right on the lake surrounded by snow. 

Just 20 minutes outside of Banff is Canmore, a beautiful little town filled with trails, mountains, and great restaurants with amazing food! There are so many areas here that many people don't think too much about with Banff and Lake Louise just down the road. The landscapes here are perfect for photos as you can likely find a spot with no one around. 
About an hour away from Canmore is a small town called Cochrane. Where I live! This town has a unique blend of rustic charm and breathtaking sunsets. It provides a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for family gathering or intimate couple sessions. 

Each of these stunning locations offer versatile photography opportunities, allowing you and your loved ones to commemorate life's milestones in beautiful environments.

Lake Louise

Lake Louise is such a magical place to be - summer or winter! Now I will warn you, it is BUSY in the summer. I heard from one of the people who work there that Lake Louise was averaging 50,000 people A DAY in the summer of 2024!! I'll be writing a blog post all about it later on and will be sure to have the link here when it's done! Don't forget to subscribe to my emails to get the latest blog posts. 
Now although it's busy, I work to make sure that we have a little spot to ourselves. If there's people in the background, I WILL edit them out so it looks like you're enjoying Lake Louise all to yourselves without the busy crowds. Feel free to message me anytime if you would like some photos done in Lake Louise!
