As a family photographer, my goal is to capture the magic of connection. During our sessions, it's all about having fun, playing games, and sharing authentic moments together. I believe in making our time enjoyable, filled with laughter and genuine bonding. I aim to capture the beautiful bond that makes your family special.

Kelowna Family Photographer

I'm Sharn
Photos with memories that will last a lifetime
All my family sessions take place outdoors in the evenings, allowing us to capture that perfect natural light. While I have some fantastic locations in mind, I'm always open to suggestions and exploring new places. Sessions are typically booked on weekdays between 6-7pm, depending on the season. I understand that this may be around bedtime for your little ones, but trust me—the breathtaking lighting will make it worth keeping them up for just one night!
Forever
to cherish
During our session, the focus is on simply being with your children. I absolutely love capturing those candid moments—hugging them, tickling them, and making them feel completely at ease. As your photographer, I'll guide you to the best light and direct some posing. Then, I'll encourage everyone to relax and let the magic unfold naturally. It's in these authentic moments that genuine memories and pure love are captured.
Pictures
Timeless
2-3 weeks after your session date you will be sent a slideshow to view from the comfort of your own home. Once you’ve had a chance to view the slideshow and take it all in, you can decide whether to stick with Collection A (the base package you’ve already paid for) or upgrade to a collection that includes more images and print credit. You will have one month after the purchase of your collection - to decide which images you would like to download, as well as how you'd like to spend your print credit.

Your Experience
- k.d
Sharn was absolutely incredible. She took the time to reach out ahead of time to make sure we were feeling confident with our outfit choices, went above and beyond by dropping off an outfit for me to try (and wear), assured me not to worry if my toddler wasn't being his best self. She let my kids just play and have fun while capturing some amazing shots (with everyone looking!). It was such a chill and stress free time. I am so pleased with our session and the amount of photos that she was able to capture in such a little amount of time. Thank you for capturing these memories as my kids are growing so fast. I cried when I received the gallery. What a gift!
Absolutely incredible!
- P.S
Sharn is such an talented photographer in Kelowna. She was so wonderful and patient taking our family spring photos. She has a wonderful style to her photo aesthetics and is attentive to all the details. I couldn't be happier with the photos she took, especially of the kids as she captured their true personalities. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Sharn again.
So wonderful and patient!

On average, a family session gallery typically includes around 40+ photos, and the number of images you receive depends on the collection you purchase. With my highest tier, you receive all high-resolution images along with a print credit that can be used towards purchasing various options to display your photos, including custom frames or a fine art album.
How many images are included?
I'll notify you once your gallery is ready. The photos will be presented in a beautiful slideshow accompanied by some sweet music – you might even shed a tear! After enjoying the slideshow in the comfort of your own home, you can decide whether to stick with Collection A (the base package you’ve already paid for) or upgrade to a collection that includes more images and print credit. Your chosen photos will then be available for you in an online gallery, where you can select your favorites based on the number of photos included in your purchased collection.
How do we receive our photos?
My sessions are all about capturing your family authentically, just as you are. I specialize in capturing those natural, candid moments that truly reflect your family dynamic. I believe in letting kids be kids, allowing their genuine personalities to shine through in every photo. While we do aim for a few traditional family portraits, the heart of my sessions lies in embracing those spontaneous, in-between moments where true magic happens!

What do we wear
A Family Session typically lasts between 45 minutes to 1 hour, although I adopt a no-rush approach. I'm dedicated to taking as much time as necessary to ensure we capture all the moments that are important to you.
