You can consider me your fearless photographer/ professional third wheel/ wacky paparazzi /new friend (if I'm lucky)!
Hi! I'm Aly
WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT
Originally from Vancouver, I moved to Victoria for university 9 years ago and never looked back. The friendships and community I’ve built for myself in this quiet corner of the world have shaped me into the person I am today — a fiercely creative and playful gal, with a flair for goofball-ery (that’s a word right?). Don't get me wrong, I am definitely an introvert overall, but when I get behind a camera — BAM! The love of the work takes over and suddenly I'm creative director, stylist, prop master, location coordinator and your No. 1 hype woman.
In my free time you’ll most likely find me trying out new restaurants, meeting up with friends at a local brewpub, boxing at my gym, cooking (well not so much cooking as getting the most out of whatever vegetable is decaying in my fridge), petting a dog, or reading a Harry Potter book for the 100th time (the 7th is my favourite).
It's me - Al your pal
My photography style is centered around experience
Your experience
How do I do this? Lots of preparation and research happens beforehand. I want to know YOU! Who you are, what you love, and what makes you laugh. That way I can cater my photography to your uniqueness.
At weddings I like to consider myself a 'Candid Photo Ninja'. I often get complimented on how well I can blend into the wedding day. This means you can enjoy the day properly, without feeling like there's always a camera pointed at you.
Aly made us feel so comfortable and she ended up feeling more like a guest to us.
She is such a warm and happy person. I am beyond grateful that we chose Aly to photograph our special day, and SO thrilled about how the photos turned out.

I’ve worked with a lot of photographers over the years,
but always finish the shoot feeling like I’ve only scratched the surface of my personality. From my first chat with Aly, it was clear she could deliver a different experience.

We had the absolute best time ever with Aly!
She had a million great ideas for poses and locations. Absolutely stellar direction that really captured the candid feel we were hoping for and she perfectly captured our goofy, loving relationship exactly as it is.

Working with Aly was an incredible experience -
she is unbelievably talented and she had an amazing ability to put my entire camera shy family at ease and laughing through the whole shoot.

Aly is a true professional, and so very good at what she does!
It was a pleasure to work with someone who is skilled, attentive to details, and also flexible in working with a large group of people.

Aly's photos are BEAUTIFUL and working with her is truly a breeze.
I have worked with Aly a few times now and will continue to do so in the future. I can simply provide Aly with my vision/idea and she is able to execute it beyond what I could imagine.

The following 5 things are what you can expect during a photo session with me:
- A grand ol’ time, filled with laughter, movement, and memorable moments
- Next-level organization skills that will make our shoot a breeze - leaving more room for spontaneous shots and lots of fun
- Sensitivity and a plan of action for any potential preferences and/or insecurities
- A truly frightening number of Dad Jokes
- Me laughing at my own Dad Jokes, when nobody else does
