ABOUT ESTELLE GONORD PHOTOGRAPHY
At the core, I’m just a mom who lives for adventure, golden light, and the kind of memories that feel like home wherever you are.
Hey, I’m Estelle.
Growing up, I was fascinated by those little disposable cameras, capturing “everything and nothing” just for the fun of it. But I never imagined photography would become my career. After earning a degree in kinesiology in France, I moved to Canada with my partner and found myself completely captivated by this country’s natural beauty. My work is inspired by the things I value most: love, connection, and nature. I love creating space for my clients to be themselves—to laugh, cry, and be present with the people they care about most. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me hiking the trails of the Columbia Valley with my little family, exploring new places, or simply enjoying the beauty of where I live.
Storyteller, Adventurer, and Lover of the Little Moments.
Meet my little fam & our adventure
In 2016, my husband and I packed our entire life into just two suitcases and left the beautiful south of France for the stunning Kootenays. Hands down, it was the best decision we’ve ever made! As nature lovers and adventure seekers, we instantly fell in love with the Kootenay lifestyle and knew this was where we were meant to be. Fast forward to today, and our little family has grown—I’m now a proud mom to the sweetest little boy, along with our three adorable fur babies.
Whether I’m capturing your love story in the mountains or documenting a cozy family moment, I bring that same energy and passion to everything I do. And if your journey takes you beyond the Kootenays—just say the word, and I’m there!
GENUINE + INTENTIONAL
Photography is more than just images—it’s about preserving the moments that make your story unique. My style is all about authenticity and connection, blending the beauty of natural light with the candidness of real emotion. Whether we’re on a mountain peak or in your family’s backyard, I’ll work with you to create an experience that feels effortless and fun.
From the moment you reach out, my focus is on getting to know you and your vision. Whether it’s a wedding, family session, or lifestyle shoot, I want to understand what matters most to you. During our session, I’ll guide you with a light, natural approach so you feel completely at ease. We’ll laugh, explore, and capture the real you—your love, your story, your adventure. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just genuine moments and memories you’ll treasure forever.
Enough about Me, I’d love to get to know you and your story!
