Welcome

I photograph the in between moments, the ones nobody thinks to pose for.

Hi! I am Avelyn, a photographer based in Nova Scotia who loves to capture the moments in between. I offer a wide range of sessions, from engagements and proposals to maternity, newborns, graduations, elopements and solo portraits. My work leans warm and quiet. I would rather catch you laughing at something only the two of you understand than ask you to look at me and smile. Sessions are slow on purpose, because the good frames tend to arrive once everyone forgets the camera is there.
