Hi, I'm Lipa!
The storyteller behind the lens at Kobita Photography. Photography isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. From capturing the raw emotions of weddings to the beauty of family moments, every image I take feels like writing a stanza in a living poem. For over 15 years, I’ve been turning moments into lasting memories, and I’d be honoured to help tell your story.
A little about Me...
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 joy 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, professional headshots, 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 their joy, 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. Let’s make something unforgettable together.

My family and I had a great time shooting with Lipa. It’s not always easy asking young children to stay still for photos, and Lipa was patient and so good at directing, offering poses for my children and I. The pictures were amazing and really took my breath away. So happy to have such sweet moments captured. Can’t say thank you enough!

If there were infinite stars, I'd give them all! We just received our engagement photo gallery today and my biggest challenge will be narrowing down 1-2 photos that we want to use for our save-the-dates (there are so many to choose from!!) 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 was so happy to have chosen Lipa to take pictures of my family. She was professional, kind, and paid attention to the smallest details. Thank you for making my family and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera! And for giving us such wonderful pictures to cherish for life :)

Working with Lipa was a dream! We are so grateful we had her capture the most amazing shots of our daughters Baptism. Memories we will cherish forever. An added bonus she worked extra hard to have them done as soon as possible, which we appreciate so much!!
