After getting my first digital camera when I moved to the Yukon, my interest in photography quickly grew into a passion. Northern landscapes, wildlife and nature were inspiring.
Fast forward a few years with a diploma in digital photography and imaging, and now an award-winning photographer, I have decided to put my roots down in Muskoka, Ontario and focus on the success of my photography business, Cobi Photography. Over the past few years, I have also grown a passion for portrait and adventure photography. In my down time, you can find me canoeing deep into Ontario’s wild spaces.
Mission Statement
At Cobi Photography, my purpose is to provide unique outdoor portraits that capture the excitement and natural moments when families explore and enjoy the outdoors; empower people to take control of their photography by giving them the skills and know-how to use their camera in its manual settings; and offer unique, one-of-a-kind women-only photography tours that empower women creatively and emotionally to capture images of inspiring adventures and places across Canada.
