Emotive photography

that captures the depth of your story

digital - film - video

Photos are one of the only things that truly outlive us. They hold the way we felt, the love we shared, and the life we built. And someday, these images will be the pieces of ourselves we leave behind. This is more than photography—it’s about creating something deeply personal and true to you & your story.

let's work together

to capture your story

Hey, I'm Gen!

 

Mama to two feral toddlers, wife to a goofy frenchman, and proud cat lady.


Working with me feels like hanging out with an old friend (who just happens to have a camera in-hand). We’ll keep things relaxed, move with the flow of the day, and let the real moments shine.


My approach is all about storytelling—capturing the candid, the imperfect, the heartfelt, and everything in between.


At the heart of it, I want my work to feel like home. The feeling you get when everything feels right, when you’re surrounded by the people you love most, and when you’re completely present in the moment.

Intimate & Emotive photography

For the deeply feeling, intentional souls. The ones who hold their loved ones close and understand that what truly matters isn't just seenit's felt.

For those who know that photos aren’t just for today—they’re for the legacy of love they’re building and the stories that will outlast them.

"We can't say enough good things about working with Gen!!

Not only did we LOVE our wedding photos but the entire experience was beyond our expectation. In the chaos that comes with planning a wedding, Gen was so calming from the first conversation until the last. She is very professional, amazingly organized, flexible, and genuinely cared about every step and made sure we were comfortable with everything.


Her process is to be trusted!! She took the time to get to know us very well before the wedding which made us really comfortable and translated in our photos. In the end, she captured all the moments that were so important to us perfectly!


Her work speaks for itself and we are sooo happy she was part of our experience and we are happy to have gained a new friend!! Trust us, you won't have any regrets inviting her to be part of your special moment!!"

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

Her warm personality and easygoing nature allow you to be yourself when she’s photographing moments with your family.


Her thorough process ahead of the shoot day really gives you every opportunity to discuss what you want and how to get the most out of your photographs.


I’m so pleased with our family photos and the time capsule of memories we now have with our daughter."

"We were blown away by our vow renewal photos!

We've worked with Gen a few times now, and every time we're blown away by how she captures exactly who we are. We're high-school sweethearts, and we wanted to do a little vow renewal involving our kids -something small and meaningful. Gen took the time to really listen to what we envisioned and somehow brought it to life better than we ever imagined.


She captured the big moments but also the little ones we didn't even realize were happening, until after we saw the gallery. One of our favourite parts was getting the album. We'd always meant to print one when we first got married, but life got in the way, and it just kept getting pushed off. The quality is stunning, and it's so special knowing we have something to show our kids when they're older. Plus, Gen took care of everything, so we didn't even have to think about it!"
