a few of my favourite things

Hi there. 

photos taken on our epic road trip down the oregon coast by the amazing pozy quarterman.

I'm Virginia. I'm so glad you've found my website and are taking the time to look around! I know there are many photographers to choose from so let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am married to my husband Kevin and I have 3 kids of my own - Oliver, Hugh and Vivi and they are my favourite people in the world.

I love to travel (a bit of an obsession my husband might say!) and my kids have been to France, England, Scotland, Italy, Germany, Mexico and Colombia. This summer we go to Japan! When I'm not Googling cheap flights you can find me at the arena. My boys play hockey and my daughter plays ringette. To keep myself sane I carve out some time for myself every day to go for a long walk with my dog Archie and listen to a podcast.

I love, love, love photographing families. Giving you photos of your family to enjoy for years to come is such a pleasure. As my kids are getting older I see even more now how family photos are priceless treasures. Every year that goes by I appreciate the photos I have of my kids more and more and I hope my photos live on in your family archives.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have about having a photo session with me. I know it can be a bit intimidating if you've never done it before. I promise I make the whole process fun and easy :) And don't take it from me, read what my clients have to say on Google.

a few of my favourite things

01

Books

Cannot go to sleep without reading (oh, and my sleep mask!). If it's 3am and I'm dead tired I still need to read at LEAST one page. Currently on my Want to Read list: Educated, Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows, The Goldfinch, By Chance Alone. Do you have a book recommendation? Send me a note!

02

Podcasts

What did I do before podcasts? I love them so much. Walking my dog, listening in the car, running on my treadmill - the best. My favourites are: Happier, Juicy Scoop, Coffee Break French, Q, S-Town, Goal Digger, The Mom Hour, Dateline. 

03

Working Out

Okay this one's a lie but I want it to be true so I'm putting it here in hopes it manifests into reality :)

04

Netflix

Obviously. I am able to watch a lot of Netflix as I have it on beside my monitor while I edit photos (so subtitled shows don't work so well for me!). All time favourites would be: all of Anthony Bourdain, anything related to travel, anything Rick Gervais, The Crown (pretty much anything British or Australian floats my boat).
