meet safiya.
i'm safiya. a lifestyle, pet and portrait photographer.
if you're interested in learning more about me, the most important thing to know is i love picking up my camera to find beauty in life's simple moments.
i have always been loved being behind a camera. there is something magical about capturing a shot that perfectly encapsulates a moment in time.
my goal when working with pets or humans is always the same. i want the process to be enjoyable. i want to get to know who is on the other side of the lens and hopefully help that personality show through in the end results. it's why i love photographing in nature, most people and animals can really shine.

fact 1
i’m a first generation canadian born and raised in ottawa. being close to the gatineau hills sparked my love of the outdoors.
02.
fact 2
sneaking in pictures of my friends when in their element is an old hobby of mine, so portraiture is like second nature to me.
03.
fact 3
just like with my photography, i enjoy the simpler things in life – being out and about with friends, good food, and nice views.
time to turn an outdoor adventure into timeless mementos.
any opportunity to try something new, and i’m in.
it’s one of the things that keeps me passionate about photography, there are always new techniques in photographing and editing, always new people, pets or locations to photograph, and there’s always space to learn and grow.
if there’s something unique you want to try at your photoshoot, just let me know. i’d love to help bring your vision to light
i want to extend a very special thank you to Gen at Heart Dog Photography.
not only has she captured these beautiful images of me and my dogs, but she has always been a source of inspiration and support. i highly encourage everyone to check out her work
