I’m Iska, a lifestyle, portrait, and animal photographer

Hi, I’m Iska — a photographer, horsewoman, mother, and Canadian army veteran. My work is all about connection — between horses and humans, pets, loved ones, and the deep parts of ourselves we sometimes forget to honour.


Photography found me through the lens of real life: muddy boots, moments of quiet courage, and the raw beauty of presence. I specialize in photographing horses with their humans, portrait sessions, and soulful images that hold more than what’s visible.


I believe photographs hold the power to preserve stories—especially those between horse and human. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, honouring a partnership, or remembering a beloved companion, I aim to create images that reflect the depth of that connection. My work is rooted in empathy and presence, and I'm honoured to hold space for meaningful moments—both joyful and bittersweet.You don’t need to perform. Just show up — as you are.


Let’s create something meaningful together.
