About Fiona

I'm a full time photographer and studio owner in Mississauga ON. For many years, I have been asking myself a very important question, “Why do I want to be a photographer?” It turns out that photography is a part of my identity and it helped me achieve true creative freedom; a freedom that was dormant within me for the longest time, just waiting to be discovered.

As far as I can remember, I was a genuinely shy, socially awkward, and introverted person. I never felt like the true version of myself around others and I didn’t fit in with any groups of people until I was introduced to photography, and then suddenly… my life changed. Photography found me! I felt like I could express myself in a way that I never could before and I no longer needed to hide from people. Photography became one of the most harmonious mediums for me to connect with others, and in return, I was able to tell their stories with high degrees of emotional clarity.

As a young adult, I spent most of my time in the darkroom turning negatives into beautiful photographs. I was truly mesmerized by this process and it literally feels like magic! Fast forward to after I became a mom to my beautiful daughter Hazel, I realized that life is too short to not live my dreams. I decided to pursue my passion as a full-time photographer, and here I am. There are no words in the dictionary that I can use to tell you how much I adore capturing people! I love creating stunning images that evoke emotions and WOW others.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I’d love to connect with you!
