Meredith Rose was born and raised here on Vancouver Island. She gains inspiration from the endless beauty that surrounds us here on the west coast. Specializing in portraiture (weddings, engagements, family), she also has a passion for nature photography. She finds joy in capturing scenes that might otherwise be forgotten or overlooked. She believes that life is art. When she’s not hiking through the local nature trails with her dog, Molly, she’s off travelling around the world capturing beautiful images.
