Meet the Team

Passion. Precision. Personality.

At SHM Studio, we are not only photographers — we are storytellers who bring products, dishes, and people to life through images. Each member of our team possesses a distinctive perspective, creative flair, and a commitment to quality that influences every aspect of our work.


  • With a background in industrial design, art, and photography, our co-founder brings a unique perspective to SHM Photography. Her experience as a multimedia artist and art director allows for a seamless blend of creativity and technical expertise. This combination fosters innovative approaches to visual storytelling, ensuring that each project is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and impactful. Her keen eye for detail and understanding of spatial relationships enriches the photographic process, enabling the team to capture stunning imagery that resonates with viewers. By integrating elements of design and fine art, she continually pushes the boundaries of conventional photography, crafting unique narratives that elevate the brand's offerings within the Toronto and GTA landscape.

  • Co-finder and collaborator in the realm of professional photography, I bring a unique background that intertwines industrial design and fine art photography. My journey began in industrial design, where I developed a keen understanding of form, function, and aesthetic principles. This foundational knowledge allows me to approach photography with a critical eye for composition and detail, ensuring each shot is not just an image, but a carefully crafted visual narrative.

    The transition into fine art photography allowed me to explore creativity unrestricted by commercial constraints. Here, I focused on capturing emotional depth and artistic expression, honing my skills in lighting, color, and texture. This blend of technical precision and artistic vision defines my work, enabling me to create photographs that resonate on multiple levels.

    In my role, I collaborate with other creatives and clients to deliver striking imagery that aligns with their vision while adding value through my design background. Each project reflects a commitment to quality and artistry, whether it involves product photography, portraiture, or fine art installations. My expertise enables an effective synthesis of design principles and photographic techniques, resulting in impactful visuals that communicate compelling stories.
