CANDID, EMOTIVE, INTENTIONAL  PHOTOGRAPHY.


Unfiltered. Distinctly crafted with a cinematic eye and an editorial touch.


I don’t believe in perfect. I believe in true. The kind of imagery that pulls you back into a feeling, not just a frozen frame in time. I photograph with intention, always chasing light and quietly watching for the real, unscripted parts of your story.


My approach blends candid moments with an editorial edge and a cinematic sensibility. What we create together isn’t just striking—it carries meaning. If you’re looking for someone who will help you feel like yourself, adjust your collar without asking, and catch the glance you didn’t even realize you gave, you’re in the right place.


This work is rooted in connection, trust, and a deep respect for how your story truly felt. Honest. Bold. Full of heart. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve been turning moments into memories with care, and I’d be honoured to help tell yours.

A Little About My Journey to Photography

Photography has always been my happy place. A way to turn passion into art. Growing up, I poured my creativity into writing poetry and snapping shots on a little Kodak Fun Saver camera. But, as a Bangladeshi Canadian, I grew up in a family where creative dreams were seen as hobbies, not real careers. So, I set photography aside and went to university.


After graduating, though, I couldn’t stop wondering, what if? That “what if” pushed me to buy a Canon Rebel T1i, and I went all in, taking seminars, courses, and practicing non-stop. The moment I figured out manual mode, it was like unlocking a new world. Picking up the camera again felt like finding a missing piece of myself, and I’ve been living that 'soul call' for 15 years now.


While I love shooting moody portraits that tell compelling stories, I’ve also found so much happiness in capturing creative concepts, family milestones, and branding sessions. But weddings? Weddings are on another level. There’s something magical about the energy, the emotions, and the little moments that make up such a big day. Freezing time in those moments feels like catching the rhythm of a beautiful poem—each frame tells its own story.


Looking back, I can’t believe I ever doubted this path. Today, I get to collaborate with amazing people, capture what makes their heart full, and create memories that last a lifetime. Every photo I take feels like a verse in someone’s story, and I’m here to help you tell yours.

"If there were infinite stars, I'd give them all!

My partner and I are a little camera shy and not natural posers. Lipa made us feel at ease and guided us through different poses. I'm so happy with the mixture of posed and candid shots we received. The photos are stunning, poetic, charming, and fun!  Thank you, Lipa, for surpassing all of my expectations. Thank you for making this a lighthearted experience. Your energy, hype and vision truly captured one of the sweetest chapters of our story. These photos will be revisited for many, many years to come."

"I loved working with Kobita Photography. I have worked with Lipa twice now and each time she blows it out of the park! She is so fun and professional to work with that you forget it isn’t just a hang out with a friend. She makes you feel so comfortable while getting your best angles. She really listens to what you want and captures your story perfectly. By the way she handles her clients and seeing her art come to life, you can really tell her passion for photography. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Can’t wait to book her again!"
