My name is Maryam Southam, and I’m a photographer based in Montreal. You’ll often find me enjoying pizza picnics in the park, soaking up quiet moments with my children, or stargazing at the cottage — the simple rituals that ground me and shape how I see the world.

My approach to photography is rooted in what’s often described as lifestyle or documentary work. I believe the most meaningful images come from minimal posing and genuine connection — capturing you as you are, in moments that are honest, fleeting, and beautifully imperfect.

I’m inspired by natural light, neutral tones, soft textures, and above all, human connection. These elements guide my work and allow me to create imagery that feels calm, intimate, and enduring. My goal is to craft timeless keepsakes — photographs that don’t just document a moment, but bring you back to how it felt.

I’m a visual storyteller at heart, deeply grateful for the trust my clients place in me. It would be an honour to get to know you and preserve your story in a way that feels true, meaningful, and lasting.

XO,
Maryam
