Artful storytelling
of those quiet,
in-between moments

you're here because you care About more than just photos

You want to remember how your day felt—not just how it looked

The nervous energy as you held the vows you rewrote a dozen times. Your partner's smile mid-ceremony—the kind that says, "I've got you." 

You want to hold onto all the little things you didn't even see happening

...while you were getting ready, while you snuck away for 5 minutes of quiet, just the two of you, so you could soak it all in (or fool around—no judgements here).

you want someone who gets you & who will be able to capture all of it

Because deep down, you know these photos aren’t just for you. They’re for your future family, however that looks—the ones who’ll look back and see where it all began.

the part where i get real with you...

Hey friend, I'm Gen! I’m a mom to two wild, deeply feeling toddlers (no surprise there), a cat lady through and through, and a recovering government worker who ignored the warning signs of burnout for waaaaay too long. Years of toddler censorship have trained me well—but when I’m doing something I love, my passionate side typically comes out in the form of some well-placed swear words (don’t worry, I’ll rein it in for grandma).

I’m not built for autopilot. I’ve always been drawn to the deeper stuff—the quiet, in-between moments that say more than words ever could. I live for creating art that holds weight and actually means something, because not long ago, I felt like I’d lost that meaning myself.

I’m here to honour your story in a way that’s honest, artful, and with just the right amount of sarcasm (and maybe a little self-deprecating humour… I’m working on that in therapy).

If you’re after photos that feel honest and unforced—and an experience that feels like a hug from an old friend—you’re in the right place.

Her warm personality and easygoing nature allowed us to be ourselves when she was photographing us, and it made the whole experience that much more fun.

01

"Gen is the type of person that makes you feel like an old friend."

★★★★★

What sets Gen apart is her eye, but also the way she creates an environment where you can truly be yourself. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with a photographer who understood our vision and helped us create lasting memories that we’ll cherish forever.

02

"From the moment we reached out, Gen made us feel so at ease."

★★★★★

Not only was she extremely organized and responsive leading up to our shoots, but the pictures she captured were a work of art. She made us feel so relaxed and worked at our pace for both our maternity and newborn shoots. Everything about our experience with her was amazing. Needless to say, we've found our family photographer for as long as she'll have us!

"I would give Gen 100 stars if I could!"

★★★★★

Gen is warm & friendly, and knew how to capture our story in a way that was artful yet familiar. The love and emotion of our evening is palpable in every image.

04

"Her talent is beyond, and she captured exactly who we are."

★★★★★

Oh my goodness, Gen, thank you so much!!!! This is beyond what I could have imagined. You have such a talent. Thank you so much.

"Holy SHIT, where do we even start!?"

It’s not about the perfect photo. It’s about the way it felt when your people showed up for you and partied their asses off in celebration of your love. Or when your kiddo gave you a spontaneous kiss on the cheek after what felt like the world’s longest day. I’m after the kind of photos you feel—long after the moment has passed. These are your stories—and here’s how I tell them.
