i’m the person behind the camera
I’ll guide you through the entire process
My name is Christy, I live in Chilliwack, BC with my two cats and bearded dragon. I love getting to document people for a living. It's been a huge passion of mine to take photos ever since I got my first camera when I was 12 years old. I've always dreamed of being a full time photographer and here I am doing what I love to do every single day.
Locations to choose from
Island 22 Regional Park
44955 Cartmell Rd, Chilliwack,
BC V2p 0C8
Dog & kid friendly
I love shooting here because it provides the river, mountains, and a beautiful gorgeous dyke aligned with trees and lots of eagles. Great for sunset photos. This place is also very dog friendly and kid friendly. I don't suggest this location during mosquito season and we also might have to pay an entrance fee at certain times of the year.
Peach Creek
(Lickman parking lot)
Dog & kid friendly
I love this location for all seasons. It's dog friendly, not very busy, and lots of different locations for backdrops. It's also very kid friendly and the river is usually low enough to go down to at this spot and play in the water. Spring time the grass is super tall here and gorgeous for photos.
The Field
(up Chwk Lake rd 5mins passed Allison pools on left hand side)
Dog & kid friendly
This field is one of my favourites as it provides lots of space for creative freedom and different backdrops for a variety of different photosets. It's very dog friendly and lots of privacy here. The river is also right beside this spot. A super popular picked location out of them all.
The Barn
Chadsey rd.
(meet at unsworth market)
Dog friendly
This hidden gem is an abandoned barn but perfect for sunset photos if you're looking for these types of vibes. This is on private property so we could get asked to leave but from my experience I've never been told to.
Cultus Lake
(Entrance/Jade Bay)
3499 Columbia Valley Hwy,
Cultus Lake, BC V2r5A3
Dog & kid friendly
This location is dog friendly, has mountain views, right by the lake and has a cute bridge we can shoot on. Its best to choose this location in the off season has its crowded with people in the summer time and hard to find parking.
Cheam Wetlands
53480 Elgey Rd, Rosedale, BC V0x 1x1
Not dog friendly
Kid friendly
Last but not least, probably one of the top picked locations because of its stunning beauty and sunsets. This location is not dog friendly. It provides lots of beautiful backdrops and really cool bridges we can walk on for photos. Ive also done elopements here on the platform and lots of baby gender reveals and surprise proposals.
