whether life is zooming by or your story is just starting...
I'm here to make sure you
for a lifetime
I'm here to make sure you cherish this moment
cherish this moment
for a lifetime
Hello there, I’m Marta, a passionate, Vancouver, BC-based family, couples, and wedding photographer! My heart beats for creativity, genuine connections, and the beauty of life’s fleeting moments. And if you need *the* perfect playlist, a dance floor broken into, or someone to share a New York pizza with, I’m also your girl!
As a mother and a lover of photography, I intimately understand the depth of emotion, the joy, and the little wonders that fill every day. My lens doesn’t just capture photographs, but tells an intricate story of the love, laughter, and tenderness that make up your family’s unique bonds.

My purpose is to give you an experience that’ll remind you what it means to
live wholeheartedly
My hope is that looking back on your photos will spark nostalgia and all the storytelling, but most importantly, that through the ups and downs, they affirm to you the substance in your story, and the strength you’ll always find in your family.
contagious bundle
of energy
Your photo session shouldn’t feel awkward, it should be fun! That’s why I bring my camera, and my passion for life, never-ending energy, and a killer playlist.
I give my all to every shoot to make sure you’re comfortable, laughing, and truly being yourself — so your emotions and the story of your relationships come through in every photo.
Dancing & Singing Little
human whisperer
If you think a family photo session is destined to be total chaos, think again! Before I became a photographer, I was an Early Childhood Educator and Special Education Assistant.
That means I have the know-how to create an inclusive and accessible environment, care for your kids needs, and all the rhymes and games to keep ‘em smiling!
Personal Stylist at
your service
Stressing about what to wear? Don’t sweat it, I got you! I have a diploma in Fashion Design and was a Personal Shopper & Stylist at Holt Renfrew in a past life, so I’m here to shower you with inspo galore.
After booking, you’ll get a style guide, and I’m always just a message away if you wanna bounce ideas off me!
AKA
Martita, Martini, or Marta the Sparta!
…also, infamously the girl who was once so obsessed with Justin Timberlake that she actually walked onto a movie set to meet him. You better believe I have the photo to prove it!
My partner Andre and I share a little rascal named Nolan, aka Mr. Personality, who we absolutely adore and spoil to bits. There was a time in my life where I questioned if I’d ever be granted the opportunity of being called ‘mom’, but thankfully dreams do come true (thanks Andre!) — I just waited 40 years for mine!
I’m a lover of all things that bring people together, like gathering with family and friends, playing games, and busting out our best moves to the best tunes… all alongside some adult bevvies!
I was raised by my mom who’s my hero, and my grandmother who’s my BFF. I talk to them about 10 times a day — and that’s an understatement!
I love love and believe kindness, respect, and being able to listen to someone else’s life story makes you a better person. That’s why I’m so infatuated with helping families and lovebirds like you document the beauty of your journey through this amazing thing we call life!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me immersed in other passions. As a music enthusiast, I believe life’s symphony is composed of laughter, love, and the melodies that resonate within us.

A look behind the lens
These are a few of my
favourite things!
My Happy Place
Watching the world though my son’s wondering eyes
Something I do every day
Take a moment to be grateful and zen out, followed by a spin class workout fuelled by Janet Jackson!
You can catch me in
Ripped jeans, a tee, a leather jacket, and rocking Ray-Bans on a fine day
My favourite travel destination
Maui! But I’ll also say yes in a heartbeat if you’re heading to Iceland, Bali, Italy, Croatia, France, Spain… okay ya, the list goes on and on!
If I was left on an island alone
All I’d need to survive is movie-style popcorn. (I’m a popcorn fanatic). Oh, and can someone drop me off a spicy margarita and bowl of cream sauce pasta?

"We have an infant and a child with a disability, and she made it easy for all of us."
We had never done a session with a professional photographer and I can’t emphasize enough how easy and natural Marta made the whole process for us!
Marta prepped ahead of time, gave clear instructions, and had a great attitude throughout. Everyone was comfortable, laughing and happy with how fast it was.
And obviously the most important point is how much we LOVE our pics — everyone always comments on how great they are. Marta captured tender smiles and sincere laughs on a gorgeous backdrop and we can’t get enough!

"She kept me laughing, even though we were shooting in the freezing cold!"
I’ve worked with Marta on two separate shoots so far. Each one we explored a very different image. I was clear with Marta about the messages I wanted to convey.
Not only did she “get it”, but she took it to the next level, and together we came up with some still shots that were really impactful.
She always kept me laughing, and this was so important since we were shooting in the freezing cold (we did what it took to get the right shot!).
Marta’s energy, passion for her work, and kind and caring nature made working with her a memorable experience. Marta is incredibly creative and knows how to make the world around her look better!

"I highly recommend Marta for capturing any memories you'd like to preserve through photographs."
Marta’s easy-going personality, combined with her exceptional patience with our kids during our photoshoot, truly stood out. She was able to capture memories of our trip and provide amazing pictures that I will cherish.
I'm grateful for her talent and the photographs that will forever remind us of our wonderful trip. I would highly recommend Marta for capturing any memories you'd like to preserve through photographs.

finally
Tell me about your vision, and I’ll bring it to life! You bring your oh-so-lovely selves, and I’ll bring the all the good vibes. We’re just a steps away from heartfelt photos you’ll be gushing over for ages!
