Lower Mainland BC Photographer, Naomi Maya

Hey there!

Thanks for checking out my photos.

Since you’re here, let me share a bit about me...

I’m a BC girl at heart… I love the outdoors, nature, and all things eco-friendly. I was born in Vancouver, and lived my whole life in the Lower Mainland until I was 32! Then, I fell in love with a European while he was vacationing in Vancouver, and everything changed. I started traveling with him (because his tourist visa ran out in Canada) and we ended up moving to Spain 2 years later! Wow, never thought that would happen!

Anyway, I come back home every year for the summer. So, while I might not be in BC while you’re reading this, rest assured I’ll be back again soon!

About my work...

I'm a freelance photographer in British Columbia, (well Vancouver 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.

Photography for me is something that goes back to my teens. I have loved photography since 1995 when I was in high school and learned to develop images in the darkroom. I went on to study photography and lighting and various other related subjects Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver before starting my own business in 2007.

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.

It would be an honour to be your wedding photographer. Let's see if we are a good fit!

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!
