Hey! I'm Claire

 

Lover of Love & Professional Third Wheel

I'm passionate about capturing genuine people and authentic smiles. I love going on adventures, finding new places, meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends. More than anything, I love working with people, helping them feel comfortable, confident, and able to truly have fun in front of the camera. My goal is always to create not only beautiful images but also the best experience possible for everyone I photograph.

FAQ

Do you travel for photoshoots?

Yes! I am currently based out of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, but will travel to wherever you are! I charge a fee of 50¢ per kilometer for my mileage.

How long does it take to get our photos?

You can expect delivery within 1-3 weeks of your session.

How many photos will we get?

On average, you will recieve 75 photos per hour of shooting.

What is your photo delivery process?

Within 1-3 weeks of your session, you will receive a password and a link to a private online Pixieset gallery where you can view and download your photos!

Do you deliver RAW photo files?

I don’t deliver RAW files because they’re not a finished product. Delivering unedited files would misrepresent my work. My goal is always to deliver polished, fully edited images that reflect my highest standard of quality and tell your story beautifully.


What is your educational background?

I graduated from Prairie College with a Diploma in Digital Media in 2026. I am certified in Capture One Pro (the editing software I use for photos), as well as Davinci Resolve (the editing software I use for video!)
