Copy of Breathe Fire 2025 WIN Awards Nominee  (1).png

Barbara Anne Photography is the Official Photographer for the Women of Influence Nanaimo Awards & Gala. 

 

Her goal, as a photographer, is to honour each nominee and present them with a portrait of themselves that would always remind them how we as a community view them: Empowered, Successful,

and Inspirational people worthy of being seen and celebrated.

 

Each nominee will receive a Fine Art Matted Print which they chose from the images Barbara captured.  

Every person deserves a portrait that they LOVE.

​

Current nominee photos will be uploaded in 2025
