Okotoks-based digital & film Photographer


In an age of overconsumption, digital clutter and overwhelm, I want to offer another way. 

Photographs were always meant to be treasured.

photography that feels slow and meaningful

I'm Ivania.

I’m married to my first love and mom to my three tiny best friends. The Foothills of Alberta will always be home. I’m an introvert, but can spend infinite time around the people I love. Most days you can find me at home, sipping a matcha latte and reading my favourite books to my babies. 

"Ivania is Incredible. 

 We have been getting our family photos with Ivania for 4 years now. We have two little boys that are CRAZY and she is an absolute miracle worker taking incredible photos and capturing our family perfectly.

She is professional and personable, and all around a good time - being photographed by her is easy, because even if you’re camera shy (like my whole family) she still captures us in such amazing ways.

"Our photoshoot with Ivania was unlike any I’ve experienced. 

She allowed lots of time to nurse and care for our newborn, and instead of having us pose, she simply chatted with my husband and I, while capturing organic moments. I will remember it as a sweet afternoon spent with a friend. Receiving amazing photos from it was just a bonus. She truly captured the beauty and the love we shared as a new family of three."

"My family has had the pleasure of working with Ivania five times now...

...and every single time has been an absolute dream come true experience for family photos. From helping me coordinate outfits (her client closet is to die for) to calming my jittery sons, to making my husband feel at ease during family photos, she can do it all. She has a way of so effortlessly guiding poses so you don’t feel unsure, but nothing looks overly posed or “stuck up”. Ivania has captured our family during so many stages of life- pregnancy, newborn, and lifestyle shoots are my favourite of her work and she always encapsulates everyone’s personality so beautifully.
You know it’s good when every member of your family looks forward to photo sessions!"
