Vancouver Pregnancy Photographer - Soon

Though I wasn't lucky enough to photograph big brother when he was first born, I sure love that I'll be capturing precious moments with his mama as they wait for the newest member of their family.

How lucky am I to photograph such stunning ladies! I especially love including mom in the photos, because moms always try to stay out of the pictures.  This lovely girls will cherish having photos with their mom when they get older.

Oh how I loved seeing this adorable boy again! Time just flew by since our last session, and his smiles and curiosity made for a super fun session.  Can't wait to see them again soon.

 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.

Oh, how I love all of my "Watch Me Grow" package clients. Not only do I get to cuddle them as tiny newborns, play peek-a-boo when they learn how to sit, or break out some dance moves once they can stand, I also watch them change and grow into their personalities. This little dude made us work hard for his smiles, but oh, those smiles were worth every bit of effort! He's going to break many, many hearts one day :-)

Vancouver Newborn Photography - Just Chillin'

Today is International Children's Day and though it's not really celebrated in North America I think it's a wonderful opportunity to show kids how much we adore them! So go ahead, spoil them a little. Just one day won't hurt them!

I was so excited to finally get a newborn boy in the studio :-) Now, don't get me wrong, I love boys and girls equally, but lately there has been a bit of a girl streak, so getting a chance to pull out my boy props and set ups was fun!

He was so relaxed the whole time he was here. He was so good I didn't even get my fill of snuggles before we were done. His squishy little cheeks were just to die for! As is typically the case I was sad to see him go, but happy I got to capture these little treasures for his mom and dad.

Vancouver Baby Photographer - Best Friends

I was so happy for my friend when she announced their third baby was on the way. I couldn't wait to meet the newest member of their beautiful family, but I had to wait for a while. They were living in Calgary at the time and though they were contemplating moving back before baby's arrival, it didn't work out that way. I would have loved to capture his newborn sweetness, but had to settle for the adorable cherub cheeks a few months later. I swear, you guys make the cutest babies! So happy to have you back in town :-)

Little girls are just so much fun! Sweet Miss A. was full of giggles the day of her photo session. I had a wonderful time with her and her gorgeous parents!

Vancouver Photographer - Mother's Day Sepcial

Just two weeks left until mother's day! What did you get your mom this year? What would you want to get? I am excited to say that I finally have a gorgeous portrait of me and my girls (I will share it on mothers day with you). I'm always the one behind the lens trying to capture all the little moments, thus I'm never in any of the photos.

 I swear, if something were to happen to me today, my girls would be left with just a handful of images of us together. I've promised myself to, at the very least, capture one portrait with each one of them on an annual basis.

My own sweet mama has lost her own mom (my grandma) before I was born. Growing up, I learned what an amazing person and mother my grandmother was, but what I remember most is how much my mom treasured the old photograph of the two of them together, standing by the sea, my grandmother wearing a gorgeous polka dot dress, and my own mom at just a few years old. My mom still has that image framed and prominently displayed in her home, many decades later. In this digital age we take photographs for granted, but I personally believe that thousands of quick snapshots pale in comparison to a single beautifully composed portrait. Because of that I am once again thrilled to offer the mother's day mini session to ensure you and your children have something to cherish for years to come.

Vancouver Portrait Photographer - Mother's Day Special

Not sure what to get your wife for Mother's day? I might have something she'll LOVE!

Sure, us mothers ADORE the darling hand made things from our children. And a day at the spa, or a fancy piece of jewellery is always appreciated ;-) But the reality is, that what most of us are missing are photos of us WITH our children. Most moms I know are the ones behind the lens capturing every precious moment of their darlings' lives. They fuss and they prim making sure everyone looks perfect, but so often forget to pass the camera to someone else so that they can be in some photos, too. I have countless photos of my family having a great time. I just wonder if my kids will actually remember that I was there, too, lol. So for this Mother's Day, Mamique Photography is having a special just for moms. Details below.
