My story

I’m so glad you stopped by!

Born and raised as a small town girl from Northern Alberta, I have a deep appreciation for authenticity, simple moments, and capturing the beauty of life. As a mother of three, different seasons of life have grown my passion for styling and photography. Since my children's births, I've spent hours crafting and curating scrapbooks for them. I documented their milestones and told their stories through photographs, layers of papers, textures, and different creative elements. It was then that I discovered my love for flatlay styling and photography.

As a photographer, stylist or content creator, the content that I create is always on-trend, and reflects the brands and clients I represent in the most authentic way.

For over a decade, I've had the privilege to capture beautiful moments, built relationships, and aimed to create a lasting legacy through my work.

I strive to create a comfortable atmosphere that allows you to relax and truly be yourself during our photo sessions. Whether it's capturing you in your element, the details of a delicious dish, or the beauty of a well-designed space, I believe that every moment deserves to be celebrated and cherished. Through my lifestyle approach, intentional styling, and signature light and airy edits, I provide a well rounded gallery to convey your brand's story, elevating your online presence.

Whether in my role as a photographer, stylist or creative, the content that I create is always on-trend, and reflects the brands and clients I represent in the most authentic way.

Simply put, I love to create content!

QUICK FACTS

Party planning is my love language and my passion for entertaining and creating beautiful spaces runs deep. If I wasn't behind the lens, I would be a event planner or interior designer.

I'm a total foodie. Exploring quaint cafes, bakeries, and local eateries is so fun! When eating with me, just know “the camera always eats first”

I find joy in baking. I'm known for my cheesecakes and apple pie! Cookbooks and cake stands are just a few of my favourite things.

“I have worked with Saleme several times over the years in different capacities and each time I am truly impressed with her talents. Not only does she have an amazing eye for photography but her styling skills are a service all on their own. When contracted to shoot our latest collection for modernEID we knew we couldn’t go wrong and would get quality product photos. However our team was blown away because she was able to interpret the deeper meaning behind the product and deliver on styling and detail that echoed that meaning in each image. She has an understanding of how to convey a story in her work and is worth every cent and more for her services."

Jomana Siddiqui, ModernEID, A Happy Blog
“I had the pleasure of working with Saleme to capture images of club life for a website redesig, social media and print use. Saleme came very prepared and had a clean, natural vision that she styled with the club's amenities to create beautiful, high end content that reflects our brand. I look forward to working with her again on future projects.”

Brandie Cooper, London Hunt and Country Club
It has been a true pleasure working with Saleme. She is professional, friendly and her photographs beautifully captured the mood and style we were looking for to showcase our brand. We look forward to working with her again in the future and would happily recommend her to others."

Giving Back

It's important to me that I use my work to help others and create a lasting legacy. The Mudug Orphanage In Somolia is very near and dear to my heart. It was founded in 2012 by a dear friend and her family. I run an annual photography fundraiser and sell cards that I’ve personally curated and styled to support this special place. What started as a water well project is now home and school to 200 orphans. They have worked so hard to get it to where it is today! You can find out more about them and how to give back by visiting them on Facebook or Instagram at 4 Sisters 4 Kids Fundraiser.
