Stef searches for beauty in the mundane, often shooting when it is least expected. Her work is a balance of candid captures and more conceptualized portrait photography; she is forever searching for just the right pose, in just the right light, at just the right moment. She is obsessed with every dog ever, and her and Ethan’s rescue— Razzie— is no exception. If she even vaguely recognizes a song she is ‘contractually obligated’ to sing it (and she is not a good singer lol). Stef is Canadian, her family background is Portuguese & Chinese.

Ethan’s work is inspired by the environment- whether it be in the middle of a forest, or in a city office space- he finds unique lighting and angles to create compelling images. He most enjoys mountain biking, spending time away at his cottage with Stef & Razzie, being surrounded by water, and nights out with friends. Ethan is Canadian, his family background is German & Mohawk from Six Nations of the Grand River.

About Us

What started as working on assignments together at school, continued after graduation with assisting each other, and then eventually— and naturally— progressed to shooting alongside one another. Sometimes we'll shoot at the same time, more often than not we will rotate, and other times one person will simply work behind the scenes. 

We specialize in portrait, editorial, lifestyle, and branding photography. We love bringing stories to life, whether it’s an everyday moment or an extraordinary milestone, we make people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We find a balance by truly collaborating with each other; some days that means bouncing ideas ahead, and in the moment, of a portrait photoshoot, other times that means supporting one person’s idea from concept to post-production.

***While Toronto is typically our home base we excitingly will be calling Vancouver Island home from January to March 2025! We are accepting portraits, editorials, and commercial photography commissions all throughout BC this winter, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
