About me

Location	Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Introduction	Annette Cooper Owner & Lead Photographer - Born in Nigeria and grew up in Liberia, West Africa, I have memories of running through the warm bubbling waves of the sandy beaches of Liberia and climbing coconut trees for their sweet fruit snacks. These are childhood memories captured in my mind forever. Pictures of these memories serve as a documentation of these memories. My father Ray de la Haye, an international professional photographer, taught me to pause and frame life giving moments behind the lens of my camera. I have traveled to over 40 countries of the world, making the world my workstation! I strive to capture the true character of people in the moment. Married to Warwick, with 5 children, 10 grandchildren and a Pug, I find my camera is my constant companion. Faces, the sea, my garden, newborns, and secret moments in a wedding are only a few of my favorite things. Documenting life lived to the fullest whether in a quiet - solitude moment, or a celebrating crowd, is what memory building and generational story telling is all about.
