The Heart Behind the Camera

Victoria BC Photographer


Hi! I’m Kaitie, a photographer based in Victoria, BC, with over ten years of experience capturing meaningful moments.

My creative journey began with a passion for film and television, where I fell in love with storytelling. Over time, that passion grew into an appreciation for photography and the beauty of still images that freeze a story in time.

Art has always been my way of connecting with the world. Whether through photography, painting, dance and more, I find joy in celebrating individuality and creating a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels valued. Working with people from all backgrounds, I tailor each session to reflect their unique stories.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me cozied up at home with my partner and our cats—it’s where I feel most myself. That quiet, calm energy carries into my sessions, helping create a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.

And if you’re feeling nervous, don’t worry—I probably am too (people are scary)! But by the end of your session, we’ll be laughing, having fun, and capturing something truly special together.




Here's my booking process:

I. Choose your package & Inquire


Once you've chosen a package, click "Inquire" to get started. I'll be in touch within 1-3 business days. After confirming your details, I’ll send over a contract and booking form. A small retainer will be needed to secure your session date and time.


II. Your session

On the day, we'll meet at the chosen location and start with some easy poses to help you feel comfortable. If you have ideas or see a spot you like, let me know! I want the session to reflect you, so if anything feels off or you have questions, don't hesitate to speak up.

III. Sneak peeks & Delivery

Before wrapping up, I’ll explain the image delivery process.

Here’s a quick rundown:

  • You’ll receive sneak peeks within a week.
  • If you've selected the proof gallery, you'll choose your favorites, and final images will be delivered within 4 weeks.
  • Without the proof gallery, your final images will arrive about 4 weeks after the session.
  • All images will be sent via an online gallery and Google Drive link for easy access and downloading.
  • For weddings and large events, the specific timeline for image delivery will be outlined in the contract.


What My Clients Are Saying

C&K Wedding

Working with Kaitie was such a positive and fun experience. We’d never had professional photos taken before but she made us feel relaxed and comfortable for both our engagement shoot and then again on our wedding day. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted, plus more! We’re so grateful to have these beautiful photos now that we can treasure forever. Thank you Kaitie!
