3 Generation Family Portrait in Nose Hill Calgary

My name is Linh Ly and I'm a Calgary based portrait photographer with 20+ years experience.

I specialise in making images to help you tell stories about you!

For over 20 years, I've helped Calgary families, professionals, grads, couples, and lifestyle brands capture moments that actually feel like them — not stiff, staged portraits, but real connection caught on camera. Every session is built around who you are, not a cookie-cutter template.

I create relaxed, expressive portraits that tell your story and feel like you.

Each photo on my website is social proof of happy clients and the magic we create together!

Although I'm very proud of my portfolio -

I know my best photos are those I have yet to take!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

This is our family’s second time working with Linh and both experiences have been wonderful! She has a great eye and is so generous with her time & expertise, bringing out the best in her subjects (even the somewhat reluctant teenage boys!) We have been really happy with the results and would highly recommend her to others looking for a photographer in Calgary!

I've tried a few different photographers over the years, and Linh is hands-down the best! She always brings a little magic to our photos, and even when the weather isn't great or your kid is acting up, her photos always turn out amazing!

Linh was great at making everyone comfortable and welcome. We had a big family photo shoot, and she did wonderful at capturing us all!

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Family sessions are about the small stuff — the giggles between poses, the way your kid holds your hand without thinking about it. I shoot in-studio or on location around Calgary, and every gallery is edited to feel warm and true to life, not overly retouched.

CONTENT CREATION

Great content doesn't happen by accident — it's shot with intention. I work with brands, creators, and businesses to produce photo and video content built for how you actually use it: social feeds, websites, ads, and everything in between. Sessions are efficient and collaborative, so you walk away with a full library of usable content, not just a handful of polished shots.

Sports / MEDIA DAY

Team portrait day doesn't have to be chaotic. I bring studio-quality lighting and technique to sports photography — even on location or in a gym — for individual portraits, team photos, and everything in between.

BRANDING & HEADSHOTS

Whether you need a polished headshot for LinkedIn or a full branding shoot for your business, I create images that look confident and approachable — not corporate-stiff. Sessions are efficient, direction is clear, and you'll walk away with photos that actually look like you on your best day.

Graduation

You worked for this moment — let's make photos that do it justice. Grad sessions can happen on campus, downtown Calgary, or in-studio, with outfit changes and styling guidance included so you get a variety of looks in one shoot.

Weddings & Events

From intimate ceremonies to full events and corporate galas, I provide seamless coverage that captures both the big scenes and the small, unscripted ones you'll want to remember.
