Shenu says, “I pour my heart into creating portraits that feel luxurious yet deeply personal. Whether it’s your maternity glow, family bond, or once-in-a-lifetime event — I capture it with intention and artistry.”
“I began this journey alone, but now we’ve grown into a small but passionate team—a cinematographer, an editor, a social media manager, a business manager, and myself as the head photographer. Together, we’re building something bigger than I ever imagined. My vision is to become one of the most trusted family photographers in Canada and beyond, creating meaningful, luxury portraits that families will cherish for generations.”
