Designing Your Session Around Your Home: A Photographer Who Thinks Like a Designer
Your Home Is the Gallery—Your Family Is the Art
As a luxury family photographer in Vancouver, I don’t just show up and snap beautiful images. I design every session with the end in mind: custom artwork that complements your home and lifestyle.
Your walls, your style, your story—they all influence how I plan your session. From the location and lighting to wardrobe and tones, every detail is curated to ensure your final images look as intentional in your living room as they do in my portfolio.
Why Artwork Planning Comes First
Before we even pick up the camera, we start with a collaborative planning call. We discuss:
- The colors, textures, and layout of your home
- Where you’d love to display your images (above the fireplace? the entryway?)
- Your preferences around framing, sizing, and layout
This is where your photo session begins to take shape—not around poses, but around purpose.
By reverse-engineering your session from your walls backward, I ensure the images we create will feel natural and elevated in your space.
How We Match Your Session to Your Aesthetic
No two families are the same, and neither are their homes. Whether your space is minimalist, coastal, organic-modern, or cozy farmhouse, I design your session to align.
- Wardrobe guidance reflects your color palette and home vibe
- Locations are chosen to echo your aesthetic—urban textures, forest tones, or golden light
- Tones and edits match the warmth or coolness of your environment
This process isn’t just about looking good on camera. It’s about creating art that belongs in your life.
Real Families, Real Walls
