Denise Hoffgaard, family photographer in Invermere and Fairmont Hot Springs, BC

I'm a photographer,
a mother and a wife

Hi there, So glad you found me! 

​

Let me share a little bit about myself. My name is Denise, and I'm a family, maternity & lifestyle photographer, a loving wife and full-time mom of a wonderful baby girl. We're so blessed to call beautiful Fairmont Hot Springs our home, where we live, love and play!

 

Originally from Germany, I made the life-changing decision to embark on a new adventure and moved to the Columbia Valley, BC in 2018 where my photography journey started. I fell in love with nature’s beauty, the local wildlife, and our stunning sunsets—enjoying early morning walks while the world sleeps and the air is crisp!

The secret to great portraits is building confidence

Many families miss out on the joy of a family photoshoot because they feel self-conscious or worry the kids might misbehave. I tell my clients to think of a photoshoot as a fun outing! You wouldn't stress too much if you were just visiting a park, right?

 

So, imagine that. Let the kids be wild, run around, and explore. I'm there to capture all those little interactions and genuine smiles. When the moment is right, we'll take some posed shots for the family photo wall. When was the last time you watched a sunset together or started a tickle fight? I want you to do all those fun things that make you a family! Let's capture the closeness, fun, and genuine laughter!

It's Not About Creating Professional Photos, It's About Creating Beautiful Memories

I know how much you want to hold on to every second...

One moment, you’re expecting, and the next, your newborn is here! Those nine months zoom by, and before you know it, they're crawling, walking, and running. You wish you could freeze time, keeping them little and curious just a bit longer. But since time flies, the best you can do is capture every precious moment in a photo to cherish forever.
