Hello! I’m Re (pronounced Ree), and I have been photographing people and things professionally over 17 years.

I have always had a fascination with the human form, which originally grew from drawing faces and painting portraits to photography. I love the planning, composing, lighting and creation of the art. I feel portraiture should be empowering and confidence building. It can help celebrate your distinctiveness and authentical self.

My studio is located in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, BC. I respectfully acknowledge that the land I am located on is on the unceded traditional and ancestral territory of the K’ómoks First Nation. My studio is an LGBTQIA2S friendly & safe environment.
