Imagine having a photo session tailored just for you. Imagine seeing yourself in a brand new light. Imagine having photos of yourself that you love.
We can make it happen. You and me. I promise.
PORTRAIT
Would you like to have portraits of yourself that give you confidence, self value, and a keepsake for your family? I photograph women and men, in studio and outdoor settings. You can book your complimentary consultation where you can find out about my process and see all my products or contact me with a question that you may have. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

BOUDOIR & intimate portraits
I call these portraits "boudoir and intimate portraits" because I love to tailor these sessions to each woman's individual needs. Some prefer a "typical" boudoir photo, where the sensuality, lingerie and sexy poses are the focus. Other women prefer to have more "soulful" and intimate portraits, which are focused on expressing the beauty of their bodies, as well as their personalities and soul. For those, you can wear pretty much anything, from a dress or jean jacket to a bathrobe or a towel, or your spouse's best shirt. I also photograph fine art nudes. The intimate portraits and the nude art are a popular choice to create your own personal art.

WALL ART
Enlargements and wall galleries are so exciting! It's the most beautiful feeling to see the art of you on the wall. Can you imagine seeing a canvas or a metal print of you every day? It will bring a smile to your face and a real appreciation of yourself. Wall art is not an easy task to design. Just choosing a medium and size can be a difficult task. I am here to help you pick the right piece for your wall(s).

What To Expect
The Process
My photography business is based on connecting with my clients and their great personal experience.
The most important thing for me is that you feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to make the whole process enjoyable and hassle free for you.
That’s why I will be guiding you all the way from our first meeting to delivering your product.
​
​
Photo Shoot
​
Next step is the photo shoot! As exciting as it sounds, it might be intimidating for some people. Again, my first and foremost goal is to make you feel at ease, confident and trusting the process. When you arrive, you will be taken care of by a professional hair and make up artist. You will be pampered and you will feel fantastic. Then we will take some awesome photos of you. You don’t have to worry about anything as I will guide you through different setups and poses. It is incredible to see people gaining confidence and starting to feel relaxed in front of the camera.
​
It will be fun. I promise.
Meet & Greet
First, we meet for coffee or tea for our “greet and meet”.
I will tell you all about the process, the photo shoot and the products I offer. I will answer any questions you may have and I will also listen to you. What is it you are looking for? How would you like to be photographed? Do you have any dream shot on your mind? Any favourite outfits or places to be photographed at? I love these first meetings because they give us a chance to get to know each other, give you all details you need to know and make you feel more at ease and
comfortable at the time of shooting.
​
​
Wardrobe Consultation
Second meeting is a wardrobe consultation. You will receive a guide which will help you choose what to wear for your photo shoot. It can sometimes be overwhelming and that’s why we meet to go through your wardrobe options together. Then we pick 3 - 5 outfits for the photo session.
Reveal
The final step is to look at your photos! About 2 - 3 weeks after the photo shoot you will come to my studio to look at your photographs. There will be 20 - 25 images ready to go home with you. They will all be professionally edited, printed on archival photo paper and matted. You will only choose and buy photos you like, there is no pressure or hard selling. Again, I want you to leave happy with a product
you are 100 percent excited about.
Product
All images come professionally retouched, printed on archival photo paper and matted in acid free mats. All prints will be delivered in an elegant hand made folio box.
All purchased images are delivered with a corresponding high resolution digital file.

ABOUT
US
Hello, my name is Alice Sarog (I go by Ali too - that's what my family and friends call me.) My story is not a typical story of a portrait photographer.
I started with photography later in life and fell in love. I was always a creative person but life got busy and photography came to me in my late 40's, when the time was right.
The pretty girl with me here is Summer. She is my best friend, the most beautiful soul and I keep learning from her every day.
Summer brought me to photography, (besides other things) and that's why
I named my business after her.
​
I love people and their stories, and I love photography. Portrait photography connects both worlds. Nothing makes me happier than looking
into your eyes through my camera. That’s the moment when nothing else matters and I can feel who you really are.
The moment when I can see your soul. That's when the magic happens and
human connection meets creativity.
​
I know how hard it is for most of us to step in front of camera. I was always critical of myself and was staying away from being in photos. Also, moms are usually the ones taking pictures. (So was I.) Today, I wish I had more photos from my younger years, more photos with my daughter, my mom, my family and friends. I know it’s not easy to step in front of the camera, and I am here to help
you take that step.
​
I will be here for you to guide you through the process and make sure you feel comfortable and natural. You deserve to have photos of yourself and you deserve to see how extraordinary you truly are.
Let me show you. xo
​
​
Originally from Prague, Czech Republic,
I now live and work in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia.
​
​
Edit: Summer passed away on a sunny day, September 28th, 2020, in her garden, surrounded by birds, flowers and lots of love.
She will live in my heart forever.
