Being the subject of photos is not something in my comfort zone and Bertie was so helpful and considerate throughout the whole process. They're a great communicator and they really took the time to listen to my ideas and my concerns at every stage of the project, which made the actual photoshoot feel very comfortable and easy. The final images turned out really cool. I would recommend Bertie as a photographer to anyone, especially anyone who feels nervous about photography but wants to try it anyway!

Throughout my whole process with Bertie, I felt supported and safe. I am not someone who feels comfortable in front of a camera and I had so much fun with this shoot. Bertie really took the time to figure out what I wanted the photos to represent and feel like. I'm very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend booking in with Bertie! They are wonderful :)

Zoey

Bertie was patient, encouraging and professional from start to finish. They fostered a space of non-judgement and put me at ease, which I didn’t think I would be when I was around a camera. Highly recommend if you’re camera shy!

About Bertie

Bertie is a non-binary artist and photographer who is currently residing and creating on Lekwungen territory (Victoria, BC). With over 11 years of experience as a photographer, Bertie now specializes in portrait sessions and creating experiences that foster growth, radical self-love and healing.

Bertie believes in a photography approach that is consent-based. There is a high level of vulnerability when being photographed and it is important for a photographer to be conscious of the power dynamics at play. Bertie offers regular check-ins, asks for permission, respects boundaries, and tries to minimize external pressures during a session. They believe that photography preserves emotions, therefore the best photos are the ones where the subject feels comfortable and respected.
