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 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 projects. 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 shoot, other times that means supporting one person’s idea from concept to post-production.

We are based out of Toronto, ON, often find ourselves in Vancouver, BC, and will happily work anywhere that gives us an excuse to get away. We are always accepting commissions and collaborations when we travel, see where we’ll be, and when, under our travel notice.
