Unique Photography

  • I’m constantly impressed by our local photography community and the new ways they’re connecting with clients. I recently discovered Housestories Canada which aims to capture an intimate perspective of a family’s life through documenting the familiar details on their home. Those little things like the way the light shines through a bedroom window or a cool pattern of kitchen tile. The things – if you renovated or moved – you wouldn’t want to ever forget. Connect with the Housestories Canada team here.
