Discuss a sessionVancouver photography / Sessions & commissions
You don’t need
a perfect plan.
A person. An idea. A moment you want to keep. Start there, and we’ll build a session around what matters to you.
Purely the photographer. Always chasing cinema.
I work with a Fujifilm X-T2 and 35mm and 75mm lenses. Portraits, candid moments, movement, products, performances or an idea that does not fit a neat box: bring it to me, and we will plan what suits the camera, the place and the moment.
My photography sessions are PG and for everyone. I keep the work family-friendly, respectful and cinematic. These become your memories and mine; I want us both to feel good about what we make.
My role is photography. Tell me about any other crew, styling or production you are arranging so we can work together clearly.
Editorial & independent brands
Fashion stories, personal brands, products and creative campaigns. A distinctive visual language, built around your idea.

Working together
A little less pressure.
A little more presence.
01 / The conversation
Find the story.
We talk about the feeling, the place, your priorities and your budget. You receive a clear scope before committing.
02 / The session
Make room for the moment.
Direction when it helps. Space when it matters. We work with your comfort and the light in front of us.
03 / The photographs
Carry something forward.
Your selected and edited images arrive according to the agreed plan, with clear guidance on their intended use.
Before we begin
A few good questions.
Do I need experience in front of a camera?
No. Come as you are. We can talk, walk, try a few simple directions and make space for natural moments. Tell me what feels comfortable and what does not.
Can we work with a smaller budget?
Tell me your budget at the start. We can discuss the scope, location and priorities and see what is possible. A personal portrait and a full commercial commission need different plans; every enquiry gets the same attention.
Where do you photograph?
Vancouver and Greater Vancouver, including Burnaby, Richmond, the North Shore, New Westminster, Surrey and the Tri-Cities. Enquiries from elsewhere are welcome. Travel, accommodation and location costs are discussed before a booking is confirmed.
What is included in a session?
Your quote will set out the time, location, number of edited photographs, delivery method, intended use and any additional costs. Everything is agreed before the session.
How long does editing take?
The delivery schedule is agreed for each project. If you have a publication date, launch or personal deadline, include it in your first message.
Do you photograph weddings or private celebrations?
Enquiries for intimate weddings and private celebrations are welcome. Send the date, location, approximate guest count and the moments you want covered so we can discuss a suitable plan.
Can I use the photographs for my business?
Yes. Personal and commercial use of Cord-owned photographs is free, and credit is optional under the photograph-use permission. Session fees are separate. Tell me where images will appear so we can discuss any model releases, privacy or third-party permissions needed.
How do I book?
Email, call or use the enquiry builder on the contact page. Sending an enquiry does not reserve a date. A booking is confirmed after the scope, terms and any required payment are agreed in writing.
