Vancouver Newborn Photography - Tiny

What a little treasure! In true newborn fashion, this little boy slept and curled and posed perfectly.

Smiles that just kept coming

I always try capturing a newborn smile during the session and don't mind waiting for it when I notice baby just might be in that mood.  The smiles typically last less than a second, and if you're not ready and fast, you'll miss them.  Usually my tiny clients reserve their smiles for when I'm switching up set ups with the camera far, far away from reach, but this little guy was so patient with me! He gladly waited and gave me plenty of opportunities to catch a few of them :-)  So excited to see him again when he's a bit older!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Adventures

I love seeing my past clients coming back with their brand new additions. It's so sweet seeing their tiny babies growing up and becoming big brothers and sisters.This little boy will have a lots of fun adventures with his big sister when they get bigger :-)

Surrey Newborn Photographer - Sweet baby girl

Today's rain has made me realize that summer fun is over.  I have to admit this year's summer was absolutely amazing.  The weather was great and I made sure to spend as much time with my girls as I possibly could.  That meant only the very urgent work was getting done; like shooting sessions, editing images, designing albums, placing orders and having things ready for clients in a timely fashion.  I did little else work wise. I'll have many long hours ahead of me, now that my girls are back at school, but you know what, I wouldn't change it for the world!

Get ready for this quiet little blog to get busy again as I post all the beautiful babies and soon-to-be mommas I worked with over the summer.

Without further ado, let's show off this little beauty I met back in June.  Isn't she just the sweetest little thing? She was perfect in every single way!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Cuddlebug

Sweet little M. was such a cuddler! He loved being held and though he really liked to sleep, he didn't particularly like to do it without being held. It was a bit more tricky to get the shots I wanted, but I have to admit, I really loved that I got to snuggle him so much. And the smiles he gave me made all the efforts totally worthwhile :-) It was hard to give him back to his parents when the session was done. It was so lovely seeing you guys again. Enjoy your little cuddlebug!

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Yeehaw!

I love it when my clients bring with them items that have sentimental value. It really adds a personal touch and hopefully give even more meaning to the images I create for them. This sexy mama was rocking the cowboy hat! Can't wait to see you again when your sweet bundle arrives. Don't forget to bring the hat :-)

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Sweet Little Boy

I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous baby boy today. He was absolutely delightful and slept surprisingly well at 13 days old! I was a bit worried, since usually after day 8 they're a bit more alert, but he was quite happy to sleep and be posed :-) And my heart melted when he gave me a huge grin! Thank you baby G. for being such a sweetheart.

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Tough cookie

Little Miss K. made me work hard today, but I'm not complaining because it meant I got to have lots of cuddles with her :-) At 13 days old she wanted to be part of the action and protested loudly when we tried to get her to sleep. Of course, I'm not one to give up easily, so with enough time and effort she drifted off and let me get the shots I wanted. Asleep or awake, she sure was cute as a button!

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Pitter Patter

Soon those tiny ballerina shoes will grace the feet of a brand new baby girl. Sure, they'll seem huge at first, but before you know it she'll be standing and walking and dancing to her heart's content. The footprints our children leave on our souls are forever lasting and precious :-)

Can't wait to meet your little princess soon! Thank you for spending your afternoon with me.

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Little Elf

Darling baby M. was such a dainty little lady :-) Everything about her was sweet and delicate. It took us a little while to get started but once we did, she was fabulous! Given how close to Christmas we are, I asked if we should do a Christmas themed set up and you should have seen daddy's face light up! That little girl has her daddy wrapped around her tiny fingers and I think there is nothing sweeter than a daddy completely smitten with his baby girl :-)

Now don't let that cute smile fool you, lol. It wasn't all fun and games. We got some protests, too! Poor munchkin has very delicate skin and her sweet little bum was very sore from diaper rash, so I had to be extra careful when handling her to ensure I didn't cause her discomfort. Broke my heart to see her sad little face :-(

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Night Thoughts

Another beautiful maternity session yesterday. I love doing more intimate photos that truly showcase the curves of an expectant mother. Out of respect for my clients, I do not show more revealing type photos. So today I leave you with just one.

I had this beautiful piece of silk for a very long time, but I never knew what the characters meant. Turns out its a beautiful poem by the most famous Chinese poet; Li Bai.

Night Thoughts

I wake and moonbeams play around my bed

Glittering like hoarfrost to my wondering eyes

Upwards the glorious moon I raise my head

Then lay me down and thoughts of home arise

Richmond Maternity Photographer - A Touch of Glamour

Two sessions in one day are highly unusual for me, but I must say I enjoyed myself thoroughly with both sets of clients.

I love trying new things or adding a new twist to a classic pose. We had so much fun that I hardly noticed the time go by. Thank you so much for coming today. I can't wait to meet your new baby in just a few short weeks :-)

Enjoy!

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Baby bump

Today was a very busy day with two maternity sessions! The second sneak peek coming up shortly :-)

This lovely couple is expecting their baby girl in just a few short weeks, and it's obvious she will be showered with love from the moment she's here. Thank you so much for coming today. Enjoy your sneak peek.

Vancouver Baby Photographer - Look who just turned 1!

I can't believe it's been a year already! In many ways it feels just like it was yesterday when I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely girl for the very first time. She was also the very first baby I photographed in my new studio space (I guess it's not that new anymore, lol)

She has grown into such a charming young lady! She was squealing with delight when we sat her bare bum on the fur and once the feather boa came out...... well, just see for yourself :-)

It was wonderful seeing you again!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Dainty

What a great way to end my busiest month to date! Thank you to all my wonderful clients for choosing me and entrusting me with your babies' first portraits.

I got to photograph a sweet 6 day old little girl and despite the awful weather, she sure was a ray of sunshine in my studio ;-) We got everything I could have hoped for and more! We got some smiles, we got some happy awake shots, and we got lots of curly sleepy shots.

Her smile just melts my heart :-)
