My name is Elizabeth - Your Durham based photographer who takes great pride in capturing your special moments of pure joy, personality and true spirit. My husband is an amazing support and champions my passion for photography and my business goals in every possible way he is able. Without his encouragement and assistance I would not be where I am today. When not in the studio, you can usually find
me surrounded by my family and friends – at the zoo with the girls, at the park or mall, pool or rink, or in the comfort of my own home. Growing up in my family has always kept me surrounded by children (I’m the oldest of 15 grandchildren) and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Wherever I may be – I am usually in the company of the people I love! When I am taking pictures, I’m in my glory! It is not simply just a job for me – it is my life’s work. During your session, it is my goal to connect with you and do my best to get to know you and create a relaxing environment, where you and your family can feel comfortable and at ease during your time with me. Currently, I run my own swimming/first aid business in the summers and I am employed by the Toronto District School Board as a Lifeguard, Swim Instructor (of multiple levels) and First Aid/CPR Instructor during the school year. I also volunteer my time as a Swim Coach for students competing at various levels. In the past, I have worked for Mayfair Fitness (Lifeguard/Swim Instructor), Canada’s Wonderland (Lifeguard) and various cultural/social organizations (Lifeguard). In August, for the past few summers, I have been employed as Lifeguard and First Aid/CPR Supervisor for a government sponsored Camp for new immigrants to Canada – an experience I find particularly interesting and rewarding. Some of my interests include scuba diving, snorkeling, underwater photography, travelling – along with having several years’ experience teaching figure skating to all ages (I am a figure/synchro skater of 21 years). I have been taking pictures since I was 12 years old and attended Loyalist college for Photojournalism 2004/2005
In the event you decide that my unique blend of life/work experiences and skills/qualifications are the right fit for you and/or your family, I will endeavor to make sure that you walk away from your session happy and satisfied. Please contact me if you have any questions, or would like to arrange a photo session.
