Jean-Maurice "JM" Cormier
​Vice-President

Born and raised in the Maritimes, educated in Quebec, working in Ontario – decided to stay here for a while – make that 30+ years…  An amateur photographer for sure, still trying all the angles.  Because visual stimulation is all around us, and at times overwhelming, I think my ultimate goal in sharing the photos I take is to make people pause, think and be briefly carried away, rather than having them quickly swipe left on a screen.

Laura Willems
Secretary/Treasurer

A hobbiest photographer, Laura  enjoys taking pictures of nature and experimenting with macro. A second-hand camera in high school started her love of capturing the images that emotionally intrigued her.

Maretha Lottering
​Social Media

I was raised in South-Africa in a family who loved to take photo's (not always to the joy of everyone present !) 
It was later in my life that I decided to take my passion  for photography a step further. People is my passion and today I am a portrait photographer who enjoy 
to combine my artistic side with photography. 

Sanja Wirch
Website

I am a photographer enthusiast! I definitely love being behind the camera rather than in front. I've been dabbling with photography over the past 6 years. It's been a journey of learning who I am, to see moments in little things, and being unafraid of experimenting, making mistakes, and learning from them!
