Hello! I’m Kathryn. I’m a mama, photographer, horticulturist, gardener and garden designer who also dabbles in painting, knitting, writing and baking. I’m located in Brentwood Bay on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I am grateful to live, work and play in the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ People.
My father gave me an old Pentax when I was a child, and I have been taking photos ever since. Self-taught, I love taking photos of gardens, flowers and food, as well as artists, makers, gardeners and growers working on their creations. I am passionate about connecting with people and talking with them about what lights them up and brings them joy.
About Me
I’m also a third-generation gardener and a budding garden designer. Covid gave me the opportunity to assess my career path and I realized my 17-year career in communications was no longer fulfilling. I love plants and flowers, my fingers in soil and being in nature, so I’ve taken a leap of faith and have begun a new career. I am so excited and beyond grateful to be able to help people connect with their gardens and nature, and make their outdoor spaces beautiful.
I am currently taking both photography and garden design clients. If you are interested in working with me, please get in touch at ms.kathryn.alvarez@gmail.com to set up a free initial consultation.
