Specialties
Specializing in lifestyle and portrait photography; located in Vancouver, BC and available for travel.
The most important thing to me in working with my photography clients is that they feel comfortable and have fun during shooting and throughout the entire process of working together. I want to make sure we're a great fit to work together and that you get everything you were hoping for and more! I also want to make the delivery process and simple as possible for you so you can enjoy your photos and easily share them with others.
I am a lifestyle portrait photographer: Unposed, genuine emotion and moments with families, couples, individuals, and more.
History
Established in 2016.
I began my photography career in 2010 while earning my undergraduate degree in Marketing. I also studied filmmaking in Los Angeles and Washington, DC, where I discovered the art and magic of storytelling. My career path led to jobs in advertising, television production, and communications.
In 2016, I realized that storytelling was my favorite thing to do and I needed to make a way to help people tell their stories, so I founded Gilbie Media--named after my parents, Gil and Debbie. Since then, I've worked with clients of all kinds: Families, couples, maternity, engagements and proposals, pets, events, and more. As a photographer, I love capturing authentic moments and my style is more documentary and editorial.
In the summer of 2018, I moved to Vancouver, BC to begin my Master of Arts degree.
