Ben Pickering | CEO of Strutta | Dundarave Beach | West Vancouver Portrait Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting Ben over drinks with my friends Maura and Dan, who also happen to be the founders of Strutta and Bootup Labs.   Ben had just moved to Vancouver from California as the new CEO of Strutta and we had talked about photography a bit, but since it’s wedding season for me, I kinda dropped the ball...

Leslie Coutu - Incredible , Infectious, Imaginative – all fitting descriptions of both Fran and her work. Her unique approach to capturing each moment in time is reflected in the gorgeous photos she amasses. Fran is a very easy and customer focused professional. She senses and understands the people she works with and is able to create not only the memories but also captures the feelings of the occasions as well. Regardless of the reason, Fran is the perfect choice as your photographer to encapulate a moment in time.

Amanda Swift - Holy cow Fran, your site is AWESOME! Your pictures should be in magazines! I was blown away. My absolute favourite was in the wedding category. It’s the picture that looks like either the mother/father of the bride or the groom. They are holding hands, sitting down. The mother looks like she is choking back the tears, but is so proud. My god, it took my breath away and nearly brought me to tears. I also enjoyed how you revealed your biography using photographic terms (Focus, Light, etc.) LOVED IT!!!! Go girl!March 19, 2009 – 11:04 am

Somer Zangrando - Your new website is AMAZING!!! Great work Fran! You are so talented!March 13, 2009 – 3:48 pm

Tammy Boylan Popiez - Your work is truly amazing. Who knew a little skinny girl from Steel town would turn out to be so talented. It was a pleasure admiring your work.March 13, 2009 – 12:08 pm

Rosie Hernandez - WOW! Your work is exquisite and the new site is the perfect fit. Best Wishes.March 13, 2009 – 12:05 pm
