Hi my Name is Cécile Vittoria, my journey as a photographer has taken me across continents, collecting precious memories and stories along the way.
My story begins in the vibrant city of Berlin, Germany, where I grew up. After that me and my family went on an adventure to Canada, it marked the beginning of an incredible journey that would shape my life. After six years in Canada, our path led us to the shores of Spain. It was here that I had the privilege of documenting countless beautiful memories for families and expectant mothers, each session adding its own unique colors to my photographic palette.
Now, I'm delighted to call Vancouver Island home again. My specialty is creating in-home newborn photography sessions where everything feels calm, safe, and baby-led. I bring all the wraps, props, and training so you don’t have to worry about a thing. With years of experience and professional education in newborn safety, I make sure your little one is always comfortable and supported. My outdoor maternity and family sessions are all about connection, natural beauty, and real moments together. As a mother to three beautiful children, I understand firsthand how quickly time passes and how precious each moment becomes I see the value of every smile, every tender touch, and every milestone.
My international background gives me a unique perspective in photography. I believe that every family's journey is unique and beautiful, and I would be honored to help tell your story through my lens.

"Cecile was so amazing to work with! She captured our intimate gender reveal so beautifully and made the whole experience feel magical. She even brought a stunning dress for me to wear, and the location and setup was picture-perfect. Cecile was fun, professional, and so easy to communicate with. She even surprised us with a video, which we’re so grateful for! If you’re looking for a kind, creative, and talented photographer, I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Ceclie!!"

"We had such a wonderful experience with Cecile as our maternity photographer. This was our first-ever professional photoshoot, and my partner and I were both a bit nervous going in,we can be pretty awkward in front of the camera! But Cecile made us feel so at ease from the moment we met her. She’s incredibly warm, personable, and professional. Throughout the two-hour session,she gave us lots of guidance on how to pose naturally and really helped bring out the best in us.We never felt rushed or uncomfortable"

"This was our second time booking with Cecile, she did our maternity photos at the end of June and just finished our newborn session. She came with so many beautiful props and was absolutely amazing with our 3-week-old daughter. The photos turned out perfect! Cecile had adorable outfits for baby and offered a variety of poses to choose from.
She is so warm and welcoming, and made sure to give my partner plenty of time during the shoot for feeding, burping, and changing baby."

"We had an amazing experience with Cecile. She captured the beauty and emotion of my wife’s pregnancy perfectly. Each photo was thoughtfully captured, showing my wives glow and our joy during this special time. Cecile was professional, creative, accommodating, patient and made the entire session comfortable and fun. She even learned some dance steps during the session which I am sure she would be eager to showcase on the dance floor soon :) . We will cherish these stunning pictures forever. Highly recommend!"
