Photography for real life—heartfelt, timeless, beautifully unposed.
From Qualicum Beach to the Saanich Peninsula

From farm mornings to wedding days, I capture the stories that root us.

Meet Dorota

I’m Dorota — photographer, plant lover, and storyteller at heart.


My sessions are about more than photos. They’re about slowing down, noticing the beauty in everyday life, and holding onto heartfelt connections.


Based on Vancouver Island, my core area is between Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley, and occasionally I travel to Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula and the Discovery Islands near Campbell River.

What I Photograph

I capture the moments that make life feel real, warm, and full of personality. From the joy of farm life to the beauty of handcrafted products, from playful pets to heartfelt family connections—I specialize in telling stories through images that feel authentic and alive.

Whether it’s the soft morning light on a flower farm, the mischievous sparkle in a puppy’s eyes, or the care and craft behind small-batch products, my photography is all about celebrating the unique character of people, animals, and places.

 

I work with:

  • Farms & animals – showcasing their personality, charm, and natural beauty

  • Small businesses & handcrafted products – bringing your story and craft to life

  • Families & lifestyle moments – capturing authentic, joyful connections

 

Every session is customized to reflect you, your story, and what matters most—because the best photographs are the ones that truly feel like you.
