Love only grows - Vancouver Newborn Photographer

A child bonds two hearts stronger than anything else in this life can.  I adore getting a chance to witness the tenderness between parents as they admire their brand new baby.  This family was so in love with their little boy! 

Beautiful Family

What a delightful family! This sweet little boy was adored by his big sisters.  They were so sweet and gentle with him.

Let's get digital - Things that make you go hmmmm.... - Vancouver Newborn Photographer

"Unlimited personal reproduction rights"... wow, that's a mouthful, isn't it?

That's why photographers just say "digital files" for short.  But I think over the years consumers started to forget the true meaning of digital files.  Digital files are what negatives were back in film days.  Back then, photographers rarely sold negatives, and if they did, they would charge a premium for those negatives.  Why? Because they understood they were selling unlimited personal reproduction rights.  The client understood that, too! 

Now, I get it, we live in a digital world so you may not like the film comparison.  But what is the actual reason you wish to purchase ALL of the digital files (negatives)? Do you truly want to print them all, in various formats and sizes? Or do you just want to HAVE them all, but they will forever live on your hard drive, and some will be posted on Instagram or Facebook?

I love sharing photos online, and I know many of my clients do, too.  And not everyone's budget allows them to purchase the unlimited personal reproduction rights (aka digital files).  For that reason, beginning in 2014, I have started offering a watermarked web resolution file (perfectly sized for online sharing, but will not print) for every image that is purchased in print.  That way, you get the best of both worlds; all your ordered photos to share with friends and family asap, and beautiful professionally produced products custom designed just for you.  Because let's face it, with a brand new baby, when exactly will you find the time to print that album, or canvas?

Vancouver Baby Photographer - Adorable

Gorgeous just doesn't seem quite enough when describing this family.  Always a pleasure working with them.  They make my job so easy!

Just lounging

 Such a delightful family to work with! I'm super excited to see them again this fall.  I can't wait to see how much this handsome boy has grown and changed.

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Daddy's Little Girl

Every time I see a dad with his little newborn bundle I melt. There is nothing sweeter.

Burnaby Newborn Photographer - Beloved

Sweet baby girl was so tiny and sleepy her whole session. 

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Joy to the World

The birth of each child brings with it so much joy to the families blessed with the arrival.  It also brings us hope for all the great things that child may become and achieve in her lifetime.  The world is changing all the time, and these beautiful little souls will get to see wonders we can only dream of right now.  This time of year, is particularly special, as we reflect on the birth of someone who came into this world thousands of years ago, yet his spirit and message lives on so many generations later.

May the spirit of Christmas, the love for humanity and the joy you share with your family carry you through another year!

North Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Smitten

This baby girl is so lucky to have such adoring parents and big brother to surround her with love and positivity. I know all dads love their baby girls, but when you meet one who is as smitten as this daddy is, it simply melts your heart. Every time she moved, or sighed or made any kind of noise his whole face would light up with pure joy. It truly made for a very memorable session to be surrounded by so much love. I felt very privileged to capture these moments for them. I hope I did them justice :-)

Vancouver Children Photographer - Personal

My favorite time of year is here! I was beginning to think that we'll go directly from wet Spring to wet Fall this year and skip Summer altogether. I live for warmth, which is why I'm in my element during a newborn session where the thermostat is set to "tropical", lol.

I rarely take my camera out for personal projects anymore. I guess, when I'm working all the time, I want to spend my free time with my family. Plus they groan every time they see a camera pointed at them so I try not to subject them to too much of it. I must have been the only parent this year at the various school outings, sports days, etc that was there to enjoy the moment rather than record it for posterity. It's actually quite amusing to watch all the parents frantically snapping away, blinding their kids with flashes. Perhaps I just don't get it. Event photography is not really my thing.

With all that said, every once in a while I simply cannot resist capturing just a few photos, and sometimes they oblige. When they're busy at school/work, seeing their smiley faces really brightens my day. I just love them so much!
