Welcome to Kayjaye Studios

Are you seeking a professional photographer in Canada's Greater Vancouver and Sunshine Coast regions of Beautiful British Columbia? Look no further! My name is KJ, and I am passionate about capturing candid moments that can be preserved through much love and patience.

Whether you need professional headshots, pet or exotic pet portraits, family portraits, or event coverage, I am here to bring your vision to life. I specialize in lifestyle photography and have experience working with individuals and animals with special needs or needing extra support during photo sessions.

Did you know?

  • I have over 20+ years of experience working with individuals with special needs, ranging from infants to young adults. I can cater photography sessions to accommodate the type of support they need.

  • I am comfortable working with all types of animals, including but not limited to dogs, cats, exotic birds, farm animals, small animals (ex., rabbits, guinea pigs, rats), reptiles (ex., snakes, lizards) and arachnids.

Testimonials

  • Whether people or pets, KJ's a pro! She really captures the moment in clear, never-out-of-focus images. She watches for excellent results, not the clock, to make sure you get the quality and essence of image you were hoping for. And, her objective isn't just to have happy customers, but to give back to the community—especially the animal one. She is always volunteering at, or donating to, various animal shelters. Relationships are important to her, too. The photo shoot process is as much an experience to be remembered as the photo memories.

  • I have been working with Kayjaye Studios for a few months now, she is building me a website for my business. KJ is very professional, knows what she is doing and has all the right equipment for what she does. Her photo editing skills are top notch and you can see the passion she has for what she does, taking the time to do it right. I recommend her all the time, I wish I could give her more stars. A+++++

  • KJ is awesome! Teddy, our rescue dog, had a great experience with KJ. He was able to warm up to her quickly. We also had a great experience with KJ, being first time dog owners with a dog that doesn’t always listen. She is extremely patient with our dog. She really goes the extra mile to make sure he is comfortable with the process. She does not rush you at all, and makes sure that your dog gets many breaks in between shots. She is also willing to adapt and change things up to better suit your dogs needs. You can tell KJ truly has a love for animals and is able to connect with them. We got lots of great portrait shots of Teddy (@thekoreanbeagle) and family photos that we will cherish forever!

  • I had wanted photos of my two bunnies done professionally. KJ came to our place and set up all the camera equipment in our living room. My two bunnies were superstars! KJ was able to capture them in their natural home environment and the results are priceless. Plus, part of the money from this shoot goes towards Rabbitats Rescue Society, which is where my two bunnies were adopted from. We had so much fun and cannot wait to share the photos with friends and family.

  • Amazing photos!!!! I have everything from cats to snakes to lizards to tarantulas. KayJaye actually takes the time to get these just absolutely stunning pictures. Her close ups for my reptiles blew me away. Even for the smaller ones like my Anole. I highly recommend KayJaye for an animal photographer. She will get the shots you will love.

  • We've had a couple of photoshots with Kayjaye Studios. KJ is fantastic. She's very friendly and patience when it comes to our pets. She never rushes them to get a photo. She's also very accommodating to our schedule. KJ manages to capture some really great images of our kitties. We ordered her Christmas cards and our friends love them.

  • KJ came out to cover our event - The Vancouver Reptile Expo and was very thorough. She took the time to photograph all of our vendors, as well as many of their animals and she made sure she understood the nature of each one before attempting to photograph them. Her focus on making the animals comfortable and capturing moments and her easy going personality and calm demeanor only add to her arsenal of skills in photography and I would recommend her to anyone!
