"Quality & service with a smile! Cally is genuine, authentic and intentional right from the start. She helped us curate and organize a perfect adventure sesh that exceeded our expectations. My husband and I are very camera-shy and yet Cally captured the most stunning photos of us! We felt so comfortable the whole time. Plus, she's just the sweetest person you'll ever meet and has such a gift of loving people! Thank you Cally, we can't wait to have a future session with you when we visit BC again in the coming years.”

"I was so honoured to have been photographed for a portrait session by Cally. It was a delight to dream up and work on this project with her. She approached it with such artistry and intentionality. Brilliant, patient, diligent, and soulful, Cally had the ability to help guide me in seeking to create unique and deeply meaningful imagery that reflects what I most hope is real in me, in my life, and in my story. She truly has a gift for slowing down time, capturing what can, in ways, feel fleeting in this life, and preserving the inspiration embedded in emotions. I would recommend her as a photographer without reservation.”

"I would recommend Cally to my closest friends and family. She is super talented and has a great eye for photography. My husband was worried about getting family photos taken because sessions are usually long and they often look posed. But from the moment they met to the end of our session, he was sold. She beautifully captured the essence of who we are. Our photos turned out better than I could ever have imagined and we will for sure be using Cally again for all of our family photos.”

"Cally has been such a pleasure to work with since we began messaging back and forth. My husband and I are both blown away by the pictures she captured (we didn’t know we could look so good!) Cally picked up on the aesthetic we liked and also kept in mind that I not only wanted a picture for our Christmas cards, but to display in our home and share on my blog. She’s very efficient with time and took a variety of really amazing shots! Thank you Cally XO!!”

Thank you Cally. We hope to see you again soon.”

"I was in awe when I first stumbled across Cally’s work on a friend's page. I shortly after had the privilege of meeting Cally and thought she was equally as charming, charismatic, and talented as the photographs she creates. There is just something about her that makes you love her and immediately feel comfortable around her. I have since booked in half a dozen additional shoots and don’t plan to stop! She is a dream to work with and I could not recommend her more. Beyond 5 stars!”

There were many laughs and joyous moments captured, with the most stunning lighting, in a location that was so dreamy.

I will treasure these photos for ever. I am so grateful for this beautiful woman’s artistic eye and incredible work.”

"A huge thank you to Cally for capturing these memories for us! Not once during this session did I feel shy, insecure, worried, or anything but excited and confident and I owe that to Cally’s professionalism & welcoming presence. Going through the photos with my husband had us smiling every swipe because they were ALL so beautiful! These photos were exactly the style and mood I had envisioned, and I truly appreciated how down to earth, welcoming, and reassuring she was the entire time. For this, I completely forgot about anything other then my baby and how good I felt celebrating my pregnancy that day with my man. From beginning to end it was the best case scenario, and I can’t wait until our next session!”

"Working with Cally was one of the most pleasant and easiest experiences. Right away, she put us all at ease. Being 9 months pregnant and not feeling like myself, she was able to capture my family and I in such a beautiful way. Cally was able to capture lovely candid moments that show emotion, love, and family. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented family/maternity/lifestyle photographer. Thank you Cally for these lovely, timeless memories!”
