From My Heart:

I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, an artist.  I am a story teller of love & life.  I believe in the power of positive thought with all of my being.  I expose my heart and soul to those I meet and in turn I form a deep connection with the people I photograph- I capture truth in my subjects, and produce work that makes you feel deep in your belly.  Documenting love between people is an incredible privilege, it is what I do best and to me, it is one of the most important jobs in the world.  With each moment I capture, I gain a better understanding of life and the everyday miracles that exist on this earth.

Four years ago I was inspired by an incredible woman, Chelsea Brooke Roisum, to do what I love and love what I do.  My life has changed in so many beautiful ways because of meeting her and now I can say I am exactly where I am meant to be and loving every minute of it.

Share your heart with me and I will give you memories that last a lifetime.

 

What My Clients Are Saying About Me:

Chels & Doug

“Kristie has photographed many special occasions in my life but the one that tops them all was having her photograph the birth of our son. She was not only capturing the moments, she was also my Doula and I can’t imagine a more perfect combination. She has a beautiful calming presence and a way of telling a story through photographs like no other.”
-CHELSEA ROISUM, CBR Photography

Shann & Jay

“My husband and I made the best decision in having Kristie at the birth of our daughter. She is such a wonderful soul & presence at a time that can be overwhelming for both mom and dad. She is so passionate not only about capturing life’s most exquisite moments on film but also about birth and families, and it is that passion that really puts you at ease in her company. During labour and birth she provided amazing support to both of us – I truly believe that her help and presence was integral to my having the natural birth that I desired. I feel that the incredible photos are just the icing on the cake! Kristie – you are hands down the best photographer I know and I look forward to having you at my next birth  xo”
-SHANNON & JAY

Jenn & Molly

Her incredibly beautiful and heart-stopping photos are one thing – but it is how she works with people that sets her apart from other photographers. Kristie is her own package deal –she infuses her passion for photography and capturing life’s most special moments with skill, grace, enthusiasm, and professionalism. She is able to put people at ease with her relaxed, but tenacious eye-for-beauty approach. My husband and I don’t generally like to be in front of the camera, but Kristie makes working with her genuinely fun and making the photo shoot a memorable time. Not only that, she seems to effortlessly exceed expectations. We had a tough time locating the site of our event and Kristie swooped in and literally saved the day so our event could go on as planned: she was on the phone with multiple people, looking up addresses on her GPS, and offering her vehicle to make sure we all made it in time. And throughout it all she was calm and optimistic: just what you need during life’s stressful times! I am so grateful to Kristie and the memories she has captured for me and my family. I repeatedly regret not hiring her for birth photography and doula work and cannot wait to make up for this oversight with my next birth.
-JENN, SCOTT & MOLLY

Info & Rates

Birth & Postpartum

How much or how little of your birth is captured is up to you.  At least 4 weeks before your estimated due date, I will schedule a phone or in person meeting to go over what aspects of the birth you are comfortable having photographed-this is when we will also go over any last minute questions, and I will explain when and what number to call.  I will join you during active labour and stay for 1-2 hours postpartum.  While I believe that sharing positive birth experiences is vital to changing the way the world sees birth, it is not a requirement for working with me.  If you would like to keep your birth story private, I will respect that completely.  For those that would like to share, I will have 5 web ready images for social media available within 24hours, along with a custom designed Facebook cover birth announcement within 1 week. Your birth story will be fully edited and ready to view within 4 weeks of the birth.  Printed product may take up to 4 weeks from order date.

For my doula clients, I offer 2 prenatal and 1 postpartum visits, usually in your home, or at a location we decide upon together.  During the prenatal appointments we can discuss your birth preferences, and I will make sure you have all the resources you need to feel ready for birth of your baby.  On the day labour starts, I will join you within 1 hour of the call and stay 2 hours postpartum or until you feel settled.  I may come and go as needed in the earlier stages of labour, as long as you feel well supported.  Use of my TENS machine is also available to all of my doula clients.   The postpartum visit will take place within the first week following the birth.  I offer additional breastfeeding support, past the initial postpartum visit if needed.

This work is sacred to me, and I am committed to being there for my clients during this incredible experience.  I will be on call 24/7 from 38 weeks to birth and I work with an amazing back up in the event that I am unable to attend for reasons beyond my control.  I will only take clients for both birth doula and photography when my clients understand that my role as their doula is my first priority- What good are beautiful photos of your birth if you felt under supported and out of control during the process? If you would like to arrange a meeting to see if we have a good connection, please get in touch through my contact page.  Click the buttons below to see my rates.

Birth & Weddings

Weddings are the beginning of a beautiful love story, one that I capture artistically and with purpose.  I combine photojournalism and fine art portraiture to document your day with a timeless and classic style.   I follow the light and laughter to document all the details that make your day unique.  All of my wedding packages include high resolution digital files and a complimentary engagement session.  Stunning, one of a kind heirloom print products are also available as an add on to any package.  Because I believe beautiful moments should be shared, I always post a sneak peak within 48 hours.  All my wedding clients enjoy a full blog post within 4 weeks, to share with friends and family and all images will be delivered within 6 weeks.   Due to my work in birth, I only take wedding clients in the summer months.  I am currently booking for 2015 and beyond.  If you are planning an elopement, or destination wedding, please contact me for a custom quote.  Click the button below to see my rates.

Portraits title

I photograph my clients where they feel most comfortable so I can capture all the qualities that make them unique.  Lifestyle sessions take place anywhere in Vancouver’s lower mainland and I don’t mind going on an adventure to get the right shot- so get creative with your location choice!   The session fee includes my time and talent of either 30 minutes (for the mini) or 1 hour long (for the full portrait).  For the best light I recommend scheduling your session just before sunset or early in the morning.  Lifestyle sessions are perfect for families, singles, couples, and kids.  The session covers up to 5 people, but if you have a large family- that’s fine too just add $35/per each additional person.  Once all of the best images are edited (within 2 weeks) I will come to your home or a location of your choice for an in person ordering session, where you will choose what you would like to purchase from the session, including a wide variety of one of a kind heirloom print products, and digital packages to suit your needs.  Click the button below to see my rates.
