2026 Nominees
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.​
