At the young age of 12, I started my photography journey with my first Kodak Instamatic Camera when our family took a trip across Canada and felt it was my duty to capture everything.  After years of picture taking and many different cameras, I had a collection of photos, some of which I entered into local photo contests and won!

Years later and five provinces further West, my husband and I found ourselves living in one of the most beautiful places in Canada – Vancouver Island.  A place that is so full of photo opportunities that I never leave home without my camera.  I am always on the hunt to capture that unique shot featuring a bird, sea life, wildlife (well anything that flies, swims or has four legs) and all the beautiful local scenery. 

Recently, I supplied the North Island Hospital Campbell River & District with a large landscape print which is now featured within their physician’s lounge. 

I’m often asked: Which of my photographs is my favorite? My response – the one I’m going to take tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I have enjoyed capturing these special moments.

All photos are available for sale and each year I create a calendar show casing a few of my favorites.  Please reach out to me via my email address   Julie_Collis@shaw.ca  if you wish to purchase a print or calendar.
