Ladner photographer Ali Roddam of Bellaphoto has opened a commercial studio with gorgeous natural light.
"It just has such a great vibe. I overlook Westham
Island, I get to see the sun setting when I'm here. It's amazing," she says.
Roddam had run an onlocation photography business for about three years and was getting so busy she decided she needed a space.
She specializes in family and newborn photography and has also started doing women's glamour and boudoir photography as well. "I really needed a space for that."
She primarily shoots with natural light, especially for her newborn clients. New babies are delicate so it's important to go with a professional for newborn photography, she notes.
Roddam, who also owns Buttercups Children's Boutique with her mom, studied photography at Langara College.
She recently did photos for the Mounties, a music group featuring Hawksley Workman, Steve Bays from Hot Hot Heat and Ryan Dahle from Limblifter.
She is also a part of a local photography collective, which currently has some of its work on display at Stir Coffee House.
