Testimonials & Love Notes
Carrie Hill was the photographer for Our Hustle, Our Struggle, Our Art, a community art exhibition grounded in long-standing partnerships between PACE Society, WISH Drop-In Centre Society, Kingsway Community Station, and the AESHA Project (a longstanding community-based research project at the University of British Columbia).
We chose to work with Carrie because of their unique ability to combine technical excellence with deep relational care. Carrie was extraordinarily professional, organized, and responsive, while also being deeply attuned to the unique needs of our project. From the outset, they approached the photography of our exhibition with a deep understanding of what it means to witness people on their own terms. Carrie was relational, communicative, and intentional. They took the time to understand the purpose and context of our project and to move at the speed of trust with everyone involved.
The care Carrie brought to each interaction is visible in the final images, which our team could not be happier with! We wholeheartedly recommend Carrie for any photography needs you may have, whether they be personal, community, or work-related. Carrie is truly exceptional, and we can’t wait to collaborate again!
The AESHA Project
Amazing experience! Carrie was our wedding photographer and they did an absolutely fantastic job. They worked around various disabilities in the wedding party and family, always checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable and at ease. They adjusted poses and angles very respectfully and communicated in a way that was easy for everyone to understand. Carrie is an absolute delight to work with, i can't recommend them enough.

Carrie was thorough, thoughtful, and overall great to work with. They captured the spirit and essence of our event with high-quality and comprehensive photos which we can use to showcase how our event went but also to demonstrate our approach and impact. Carrie was also very organized and professional.

Photographed our wedding on May 4th. Super professional and helpful! If anything needed to be done we were consulted on it first before it was done. All in all very happy with the final product and the experience over all!

Carrie is awesome! Amazing photos, great customer service, and very good at pretending to just be testing a new camera when it was actually a booked photo shoot for my partner to propose! We also have her booked to do our engagement photos (we keep postponing due to COVID) and to do our wedding photos in 2022, which I’m sure will be just as great or even better than our proposal photos!

I've struggled with my body image after I was sexually assaulted. I love doing photos with [Carrie]. Actually has helped me get a lot of my confidence back.

I have done a lot of photo shoots, but working with Carrie was one of the easiest and most comfortable experiences I've had! As a photographer Carrie did a great job of putting me at ease, guiding the poses and shots, and encouraging me to feel sexy during a boudoir shoot when we were just meeting for the first time. In addition to the ease with models, the photos were technically beautiful, with excellent use of light and framing. Overall, a very positive experience and I would absolutely recommend! I was very happy with the results of our shoot and will definitely be returning for another photo shoot! Thank you Carrie, and I look forward to working with you again soon!
