Hello delightful human!! I’m Shana ◡̈
I’m a photographer based in the stunning Victoria, BC. Since we’re basically friends now, here’s a little secret: I’m basically a walking toddler with a camera. I love bubbles, butterflies, uncontrollable giggles, and yes, telling flowers they’re pretty. But more than anything, I’m endlessly in awe of what it means to be human. I have a deep passion for documenting love, connection, identity, and all the sacred little moments that make this moment worth remembering. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about witnessing yourself, your love, your life — exactly as it is. So you can hold onto it. So you can return to it. For no one else, but you.

No pressure to perform, no stiff poses, just space to be yourselves while I gently guide the way.
