Rochelle Elise Pianalto is a natural light photographer. In 2012, Rochelle began full time work as a child and family photographer. Prior to this, she worked part time as a photographer, ran a performing Arts School, producing, choreographing, and photographing many children and teen musicals. She has found many similarities between the art of theatre production and the Art of photography. And yes, you will hear her freely singing away to your young children during your session.

       Rochelle also has her degree in Psychology and spent many years working and interacting with adults and children with special needs. While working for Renfrew Educational Services in Calgary, she specialized in speech development and therapy for autism. This work has inspired her to see the tenacity and beauty of the human spirit in each person she photographs.

        She is a mother (to an 15 yr old boy), and Auntie to 6 gorgeous nieces and nephews; all of these miraculous children have been her daily inspiration and led her to a wonderful career.
