You deserve to feel seen, not just photographed.

​

I’m Selina, a professional photographer with nearly two decades of experience and over a decade working full-time. I’ve photographed thousands of people, families, and stories, and I’ve learned one thing above all else:

​

Most people don’t need more direction. They need to feel safe.

​

My work is built around creating that safety, so real connection can surface naturally and you can show up exactly as you are.

​

I’ve been in business since 2007, working full-time since 2014, and have been consistently recognized as one of the Okanagan’s top photographers. I’ve been voted Best Photographer in Kelowna multiple times and most recently awarded Vernon’s Best Photographer.

​

That experience matters, not because of the titles, but because it allows me to move through sessions calmly, intuitively, and with intention. I know when to guide, when to step back, and when a moment needs space instead of instruction.

​

You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to know what to do. That’s my job.

​

Before photography became my full-time work, I spent years in end-of-life care. That experience shaped everything I do. It taught me what people hold onto when time matters, and what photographs mean when they become memory.

​

That’s why my work has never been about trends or perfection. It’s about presence, honesty, and creating images that still feel true years from now.

​

I believe photographs are more than art. They’re proof of connection. They’re a record of who you were, how you loved, and how you showed up in your life.

​

That belief is why I don’t alter bodies to fit ideals or edit people into something they’re not. My role is not to change you, but to reflect you clearly, respectfully, and with care.

​

Over the years, my work naturally expanded into empowerment and boudoir photography. Not as a trend, but as a response to what clients needed. People don’t come to these sessions because they already feel confident. They come because they want to feel grounded, strong, and at ease in their own skin. These sessions are thoughtfully guided, calm, and deeply respectful. They are not about pushing past comfort, but about creating enough safety that confidence can show up on its own.

​

While I’m proud of the recognition my work has received, what matters most to me are the quiet moments at the end of sessions. The pause. The breath. The words I hear again and again:

“I didn’t know I could look like that.”
“I finally see myself.”
“That felt different than I expected.”

​

That’s the work.

​

If something on this page resonates with you, it’s likely because you’re ready to be seen in a way that feels honest and grounded.

​

I would be honoured to guide that experience with you. Let’s create something that feels true.
