Hey! I’m Lianne
I’ve always been better at writing these things for my friends - seriously! But, now that I say that, maybe that is part of what makes me good at my job. It’s so easy for me to see what makes people so interesting and beautiful and wonderful!
I’ve always been an observer. I love to watch expression and body language. So, I guess years of awkward introversion have led me to creating beautifully vulnerable and emotive portraits, who knew!
When I first moved to the Okanagan Valley I decided to treat everyone that I met as if we were already friends. This was my philosophy for reinventing myself and letting myself finally come out of my shell. I’m still an awkward introvert but I’ve learned to embrace it!
This worked well for me, and you’ll find when you work with me that I will treat you as a friend, too. This means I am here to listen to you, guide you, relate with you, and laugh with you! Heck, tell me all about your life, it can only ever add to the experience and make your portraits even more personal.
I just love what I do so much and want to give that amazing, empowering and, quite truly, life-giving experience to others.
If you happen to bump into me out in the wild, you might find me wandering the trails along the creek with my dog, Timber. If not there, it is quite possible that you’d catch me sneaking out around sunset on my paddle board. Except in the winter where you’ll most certainly catch me in the lift line at Silver Star!
Oat lattes keep me excited for mornings, Brooklyn 99 and The Office keep me laughing, and I am guilty of repeatedly binge watching Harry Potter while I edit. Im a big time nature girl in my heart and love connecting with the forest and lakes and hillsides that we call home.
Every photo on this page apart from the red flannel with Timber (taken by my friend Amie Roussel!) was created by me. Self portraits were my very beginning into the world of portrait photography.
