Here’s a little about me -
I've always been someone who looks back on 'the good old days'.
Sometimes I have to remind myself - these are the good days, YOU'RE LIVING IT. The present is a constant continuation of small moments that make up your story. Being able to capture these moments and bring them to life gives me so much fulfillment. Since I could hold a pair of scissors I was printing photos and making scrapbooks. This business is my 'adult' version of just that - a collection of authentic and joyful moments to look back on forever.
I want my photos to feel collected, not curated. This applies to the session as well. I want to capture the big moments, but also the small + unnoticed ones too; the ones you go "I didn't know she got that!". I am an enthusiast for adventures, kindness and creating special moments. I LOVE when that comes through in my galleries. I want to find like-minded clients who also cherish their connections and want these moments captured!
I always envisioned myself in a career that involved building relationships with people, but longing to be creative kept me away from traditional jobs I saw for myself. Taking a clients life moment and turning it into something they can cherish forever is the perfect combination of creativity + connection for me.
I have a certificate of Photography from the Photography Institute of Canada and consider myself partially self taught.
I would absolutely love to get to know you and be a small part in telling your story.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is able to capture special moments, Stella is your girl! Stella stood out to me through her portfolio online, her rustic, timeless style and passion for photography really shows through her photographs. Stella was not only willing, but excited to travel to any destination we desired. She stood out in the cold and captured the love my fiancé and I have for each other. Each picture she took was taken with passion and excitement. Throughout the entire session Stella made my fiancé & I feel comfortable through reassurance and her constant warm smile. We were nervous for our session as my fiancé and I aren’t very photogenic but through Stella’s style of photography, she captured our love in pictures we will cherish forever. We will 100% be hiring Stella as a future photographer!

Stella immediately made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I told her I wasn't use to posing but as soon as we started I was able to be myself! The photos she took captured exactly the vibe I was going for. She exceeded my expectations.
