Welcome to Hudson Wren Portraits, where timeless memories take shape. We are an international award-winning studio specializing in creating fine, black-and-white archival portraits of families, children, and pets based out of two exclusive studios in Victoria and Vancouver.

Since opening our doors in 2017, we've had the privilege of capturing over 1500 families within the frames of our lenses, creating unique, enduring memories that will last for generations. Born out of the desire to control the atmosphere, lighting, and experience, we moved from on-location shoots to the studio to better encapsulate our distinctive, timeless style.

At the heart of our work is a profound belief that every family deserves a beautiful, iconic portrait of themselves. A portrait that transcends time, evoking feelings and memories from a singular captured moment. Our goal is not only to produce a piece of art but to create a legacy that future generations can hold onto and understand who their ancestors were.

Led by our talented portrait artists - Iris, Raquel, and Tamara, our dedicated portrait concierge Audra, and a top-tier retouching team -we pride ourselves on the photographs we create and the experience we provide. We break the mould of traditional photography sessions with our studio settings. We host dance parties here, indulge in silliness, strike rock-cover-album poses, and coax out sentimental, emotive moments. We aim to remove any fear of having your portrait taken and encourage families to celebrate their love more often.

Our ideal clients are those who truly value what a portrait represents. They are families who wish to pause time, capturing fleeting moments in a way that can be savoured forever. Most often, we connect deeply with moms who understand the transient nature of these precious years.

Our unique proposition is the blend of our studio experience, our strict focus on black-and-white photography, and our commitment to fine art printing techniques. Our prints, with an archival rating of 200 years, are designed to outlast us all, keeping your family's history alive and vibrant.

Our aspiration is to spread the distinctive Hudson Wren experience across Canada. We dream of making Hudson Wren a household name, synonymous with timeless and iconic family portraits.

At Hudson Wren, we are not just creating portraits. We are helping families build their archives, one iconic portrait at a time.
