About
Bellavista - [Bel-uh][vis-tuh] - 'Beautiful view'
1) The name of my grand parents farm in the Bella Coola valley 1894-1964. I spent my early years here.
2) My goal in photography.
The world is a wonderful place to learn and explore.
My goal is to show you the beautiful side of the world and help you appreciate the nature that gives us everything.
Bellavista!
Based at the center of the Fraser Valley, I specialize in photographing a wide variety of subjects including:
Commercial
Aerial
Product
Coporate Head Shots
I have a complete photographic studio available for commercial and portrait work in east Abbotsford.
Additionally, for location shooting, I have an assortment of mobile equipment.
I use the highest resolution cameras available for the best tonal gradient and image quality.
My forte is large prints - to enhance your home, office and especially your soul.
Contact me to discuss your photographic needs.
