Photos by Cheryl Stages of Life...Captured Forever
Outdoor family portraits, weddings, head shots
photosbycheryl.com My passion is photographing people.

An outdoor family shoot is so much fun and can often be less stressful than being in a studio. Weddings are also a highlight for me. I not only love the photography aspect, but the interaction with the wedding party, family and guests. Who said that wedding photos have to be long and drawn out and tedious? I capture creative shots and every mood. Head shots are also something that is a must for business people. I provide the option of indoor or outdoor shots.

What an amazing weekend. I am in the Cariboo and yesterday I got to photograph an elopement. I love these 2 people. I love their journey and I LOVED photographing in a new area. Here are a few sneak peeks. More to come!

Kind words from clients. 🤍

“Cheryl did such a fantastic job as our wedding photographer. She had the whole bridal party laughing and smiling and was a huge part in creating such a fun and memorable day! I got the photos quickly after the wedding and they were all absolutely perfect! She is truly the best!”
Liseann

Liseann, thank you.

A wedding day moves so fast, and my job is to help everyone relax enough to actually enjoy it. When the bridal party is laughing, the photos take care of themselves.

Reading messages like this is the best part of what I do.

Sharing beautiful scenery with your favourite person. 🤍

There’s something about the mountains and the water here that makes everything feel a little calmer.

And there’s something about standing beside the person you love that makes it feel like home.

Couples sessions don’t have to be for engagements or anniversaries.

They can be for the two of you, right now. For the years you’ve built together. For the life you’re still building.

A walk. A view. A few quiet moments together.

That’s all we need.

Your wedding day goes by in a blink. 🤍

Every couple tells me the same thing afterwards.

“It was over so fast.”

Months of planning. One beautiful day. And then it’s done.

That’s exactly why the photos matter so much.

The nerves in the morning.
The first look.
The vows.
That last slow dance at the end of the night, when everyone has finally exhaled.

I’ll be there for all of it, capturing your day as it really happened, so you can relive it for the rest of your lives.

Timeless wedding photography, for your big day.

Grandparents are the keepers of our family stories. 🤍

They remember the first steps, the first words, the first days of school. They remember who we were before we became who we are.

And yet, they’re so often the ones missing from the photos.

They’re behind the camera. Or they’ve “had enough photos taken, thank you.” Or there’s always next year.

A generational family session puts them right where they belong. In the middle of the picture, surrounded by everyone they love.

One day, these will be the photos your family reaches for first.

Portraits for the genuine you. 🤍

So many people tell me, “I hate having my photo taken.”

I hear it all the time. And I understand it.

Most of us only see ourselves in rushed phone photos, harsh lighting and awkward angles. Of course we don’t love them.

A portrait session is different.

We take our time. We talk. You relax. And somewhere in there, the real you shows up. The laugh. The way you tilt your head. The smile that reaches your eyes.

No pretending. No trying to be someone else.

Just you, exactly as the people who love you already see you.

It isn’t just about the posed photos. 🤍

It’s about the in-between moments.

The giggle right after the “nice” smile. The hand that reaches for yours. The baby who has absolutely no interest in looking at the camera.

That’s what Making Memories Sessions are for.

A birthday you want to remember.
A new little one at home.
A milestone, an event, or honestly, just because.

You don’t need a big occasion to have photos taken. Life right now, as it is, is reason enough.

Because these are the ordinary, beautiful days that slip by the fastest.

📸 Send me a message to book your Making Memories Session.
