BC Photographer, Naomi Maya

About Naomi...

Though I usually find it easy to write, coming up with something to say about oneself is a harder task!

I'm a freelance photographer in British Columbia, (well Chilliwack to be more specific) a visual person, and an artist at heart. I love making things beautiful. My goal for my photography is to create excellence in my images, that will be treasured for years to come.

I have loved photography since 1996 when I was in high school and learned to develop images in the darkroom. I have since studied photography and lighting and various other related subjects at Focal Point in Vancouver and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design.

In 2006, I switched to digital (yes, finally!) and now have access to some of the most amazing tools available to the digital freelance photographer. I still believe that film has it's place, and offers a unique perspective, however for weddings it simply doesn't offer the variety that I can achieve with digital.

My style is simple, yet elegant and creative... though it's better described using images. Visit "my style" page to see what I mean.

I am such a perfectionist that sometimes I drive my family nuts. What might be considered "good enough", is not good enough for me until it's perfect. This philosophy doesn't work well for all career choices or in all situations, but for wedding photography it's, well - perfect. I give myself high standards for my photos because I know how important they are to the brides and grooms and families who will treasure them for years to come.

Ok, enough talking, let's get back to looking at pictures.

And please feel free to contact me. I love getting your comments and questions!
