ABOUT
My passion for photography was birthed from a deep and genuine desire to serve and care for people. Spending time photographing young families and couples in love ignites joy in my heart and breathes purpose into my job. Whether I'm documenting the beautiful, ordinary moments of everyday life or celebrating a major milestone, my goal is to produce more than just pretty pictures - I aim to preserve your memories in a tangible way through images that capture real moments and raw emotions.

Born in the prairies, I traded in the open landscape for the Rocky Mountains when my family moved to British Columbia in Y2K. I swore I'd never move back to Saskatchewan (I don't do well with cold winters), but sometimes life does things you don't expect and I found myself voluntarily returning over a decade later. While the winters were just as miserable as I remembered, I did happen to meet and marry a handsome musician, so I'd say things turned out alright.

ABOUT
BACK
Fast forward a few years and we packed up our belongings, said good-bye to our friends & family, and headed back to the West Coast. We've settled down (with our furry little pup) in the Fraser Valley, BC and I've loved rediscovering all the Lower Mainland has to offer with the Handsome. It feels good to be back and I constantly find myself being inspired by the beautiful province I call home once again.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
What you have caught on film is captured forever…
It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

PRODUCTS
I'm a big advocate of printing your images because I believe there is something so special about having your photos preserved in a tangible way.
I offer loose prints, a variety of canvas or "wall art" options, and hand-made heirloom albums all sourced from quality, professional-grade printing suppliers.

"Kenzie is an amazingly fun, understanding, flexible and TALENTED photographer. The shots she captured of our wedding day were stunning, and reflected the candid and intimate vibe we had envisioned. We had a hard time deciding which prints to choose, because there were so many amazing options. I also really appreciated the time that Kenzie and Adam both took to get to know my husband and I through the whole process, to ensure that they captured the day in the most authentic way possible. 10/10 would recommend!"

"I can't think of anyone else shooting my wedding, other than Kenzie. Her photos are stunning, and her vintage-y style gives such a unique elegance to your photos, making them timeless. She is somehow able to capture a person's essence, showing who they are in one photo.
She is incredibly fun and kind, and also super professional.
She genuinely cares about the bride & grooms interests and what they want. I can't wait to work with her again some day!!"

"Kenzie was an absolute joy to work with! She did an incredible job taking our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She has an amazing eye for detail!
From the moment we sat down for coffee with her, my husband and I could tell Kenzie really cares about her clients and wants to ensure they have a positive experience working with her. We most definitely did! We had such great feedback from friends and family on our wedding photos. They turned out beautifully and exceeded our expectations!
As weddings don't always stay on schedule, Kenzie even stayed longer at our wedding to make sure she got photos of the first dances. She wanted to capture all the special moments at our wedding. My husband and I are so pleased with Kenzie's work. We would recommend her to any of our family and friends!"

"I cannot say thank you enough to Kenzie for providing us with a set of memories that we will have forever. She and her husband Adam shot both our wedding and engagement session for my husband and I, and we were overwhelmed by the quality of service and photos they provided. They were so easy going and fun to work with. Kenzie was so accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding. We are so in love with all our photos, we're having a hard time choosing which ones are our favourites. We loved working with them so much, we really felt like we became friends, rather than keeping a vendor-client relationship. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU."

MY "WHY"
Adam and I both have a heart for people and are stirred by a passion to love others the way that Jesus loves us. We desire to use our gifts and talents in a way that brings joy and ignites hope in the lives of others and want our business to be a means through which we can meet practical needs as well as inspire change both locally and internationally.
With this focus in mind, we have committed to giving back a portion of the proceeds from every booking.
PART OF SOMETHING GREATER
I want to continue to give back to my local community - but not just financially. I also want to utilize my skill in photography to be a blessing to others by gifting a select number of sessions each year to families who are recovering from crisis, coping with health conditions, have newly immigrated to Canada, or who would otherwise benefit from a small gift in the middle of the craziness and challenges of life.

“Our goal is to partner with organizations in Uganda to ignite transformational change through quality Christian Education, Healthcare, and Community Development.”
At the Community Centre they operate:
- 5 schools with over 1500 of the most vulnerable students in the community
- A community health facility caring for over 16000 patients annually
- A 50 acre farm, and clean water projects for the community of Kibaale
Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted to work alongside & support international organizations whose goals were to enrich communities that struggled with poverty and social injustice. I went to Kibaale on my first international volunteer trip in 2008 and it only confirmed that passion more firmly. It was the catalyst which propelled me to move overseas two years later and eventually inspired me to pursue photography.

MEET PHILLIP!
Phillip has lived with his older brother since his parents died; they do not own a home or have any land. Phillip wanted to go to school to learn to be a brick layer but his brother takes care of all his siblings and he doesn't have any money to pay for them to go to school.
I wanted to use the skills that I’ve cultivated that now help me earn a living to help others do the same through vocational sponsorship, so I committed to supporting Philip by sponsoring him for the full two-year program.
I am proud of the work Phillip has put in and am thrilled to be his vocational sponsor!

"Poverty is not only a lack of income,
but also a lack of health, education, and opportunities."
Heart to Heart Haiti works to address all of these issues. They are continuing to expand their ministry and services into the local community and to other areas of Haiti. They are committed not only to educating children, but also to providing adult literacy programs, health & dental care services, professional development to Haitian teachers, trade & employment opportunities, and hosting short-term missions trips to Haiti.
In February 2020, I had the incredible honour of going to Haiti and using my photography skills to document many of the programs H2H is involved with. During my stay at the Children's Home I was able to witness first-hand the incredible impact H2H is making through child sponsorship, education, feeding programs, and medical aid in their own community as well as in more remote villages.

Since returning to Canada, I have been immersed in Creole classes so that I can keep in touch with my new friends and so I can communicate better the next time I go back - trust me, there will be a “next time”.
I’ve also continued to volunteer behind the scenes with Heart to Heart with some of their digital content and I am so excited for the plans that they have moving forward!
