About Me
Based in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, I am a photographer specializing in culinary, branding, portraits, products and lifestyle imagery. My artistic vision is to create shots that not only capture the essence of the subject but also evoke a sensory experience with a blend of comfort and approachability.
Style and Approach
I thrive at creating storytelling through visuals and have a flair for crafting moody shots with rustic and vintage aesthetics. However, my lens is adaptable, seamlessly transitioning to bright and airy compositions when the client's vision calls for a different vibe.
Versatility is the key and I adapt my style to suit the vision of each unique project.
Collaborative Spirit
Collaboration fuels my creativity. I believe that the synergy of a team enhances the final product, resulting in visuals that exceed expectations.
If You're Seeking a photographer who can bring a creative, authentic touch to your brand while capturing its unique essence, let’s work together to create visuals that truly resonate.
my love for FOOD
I grew up in a family where French classics & gastronomy were a key in our daily life. Cooking skills were passed on to me at a young age and a food love story was born.
​
From the French restaurant my parents owned, to managing all operations of a restaurant in Japan, working in one of the most established wineries in Niagara wine country and well renowned restaurants and hotels in Niagara Falls, my passion for cuisine has been a focal point all my life.
my love for PORTRAITS
My passion for portrait and branding photography comes from a desire to connect with people, tell their stories, and explore the creative side of marketing.
​
I am inspired by the unique personalities and visions of my clients and strive to create images that reflect their true selves. Whether it's capturing the essence of a person through a portrait or telling a brand’s story through dynamic visuals, I enjoy the challenge of blending creativity with marketing strategy to create compelling content.
My goal is to provide a relaxed and enjoyable experience, allowing authenticity to shine through every shot.

Why Sideroad Studio?
Sideroad Studio comes from how I move through the world. I naturally gravitate toward the secondary paths, the ones that reveal what guidebooks often miss.
That same philosophy shapes my work. We’re not here to create the obvious image. We take the scenic route. We look for nuance, atmosphere and the details that make the difference.

If you want cookie-cutter visuals, the highway is faster.
If you want something thoughtful and layered, come this way.
