Beautiful Family

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

I love meeting couples who are excited about welcoming a brand new life into their world and this couple was no exception.  Mom was absolutely glowing, both while expecting and after their little girl arrived.

There is nothing more rewarding than photographing a sweet baby girl who has the kindest, sweetest parents in the world.  Families like that just make the whole world brighter.

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Serene

I've been photographing newborns for many years now. At last count the number of babies I worked with was somewhere around the 200 mark, yet despite that, every single one of these beautiful beings makes me pause for a moment and admire them in their perfection.  I feel truly blessed to do what I do.

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Striking Beauty

So many beautiful women having babies this Fall in Vancouver! And how lucky for me to get a chance to capture their glow before they meet their babies. This stunning woman had the most captivating eyes and smile, and such a gentle demeanor, that photographing her pregnant belly was an absolute joy.

Vancouver Portrait Photographer - Not just for kids

From time to time, I love taking on a project that is completely outside of my usual work.  A client who listens to my directions and actually does what I ask? Unheard of!

Taking advantage of some late September sunshine, we walked around areas surrounding my studio and had some fun.

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Sweet

Gosh, this little boy was truly a sweetheart! I wasn't sure how the session would go as he had to stay at the hospital for a few days after birth and was already just a bit over two weeks old when he came to see me. But all my worrying was in vain, as he was a champ and participated beautifully in all the plans I had for him.

I really had a hard time choosing just a few photos for his sneak peek!  I'm sure you can agree, that he's just as sweet as can be :-)

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 - Milestones

The great thing about the "Watch Me Grow" package is the fact that I get to document your baby's milestones. This little cutie was so dainty when I met her the first time! And look at all those sweet chubby rolls now :-) I LOVE them! She can now sit on her own, find a way to chew on her hands and feet, giggle at peek-a-boo games and clearly loves Sophie the giraffe :-)

Can't wait to see her again for her first year portraits. I wonder what she'll be up to then.

BC Newborn and Baby Photographer - Brotherly Love

This family made the trek all the way from Vancouver Island to capture portraits of their latest addition together with his older brother. I worried my hands would be full as the boys were 6 weeks and 13 months old. However, these boys were an absolute dream to work with, so everything went off without a hitch. I knew getting them in a shot together would be a challenge so I was super excited when I came across my latest prop find. I absolutely adore the tenderness big brother had for his baby brother. I just know these two are going to be best buds growing up!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Sleepy Smiles

I had the pleasure of photographing this peaceful boy a few weeks ago and he was so delightful. And when at the end he gave me a gorgeous smile, it was icing on the cake. Such a great day spent with his lovely family. Thank you for trusting me with your baby's first portraits!

Vancouver Sibling Photography - Protected

I met this lovely family in August when they came for their maternity photos. Even before his tiny sister was born, it was obvious that this handsome young man was going to be the most loving and caring big brother a little girl could ever ask for!

Fast forward a few weeks, and he proudly showed off his baby sister and carefully posed for photos with her. They were such gorgeous and relaxed kids! Truly a dream to work with and such a pleasure for me to capture these precious moments for mom and dad :-)

Vancouver Baby Photographer - All grown up

It's hard to believe it's been a year already! Miss T. was full of smiles as a newborn, but was a bit more shy this time around :-) I love how curious babies are at this age! She'd walk over (yes walk!) to see what I was doing and was very interested in the camera, the reflector, the extra lenses. I think she might be planning her future studio already ;-)

It was such a wonderful session and getting a chance to catch up with mom and dad was lovely. The best part for me, though, was at the very end of the session when she just came up to me and gave me a super long hug. It totally caught me off guard and made me tear up! What a sweetheart :-)

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Tiny Princess

I'm so excited I get to watch as this sweet baby girl grows and changes over the next year. She's one of my "Watch Me Grow" babies and I couldn't be more thrilled.

She was super tiny and all of my props looked so huge on her, but she was oh so cute! I thought it was so adorable how she was perfectly happy to try some of the more complicated poses, but as soon as I'd try something simple, she'd wiggle until I'd give up :-) That's what I love about photographing newborns; even at just a few days old, I get a glimpse into their personalities. So often when they come back for their 6 month or 1 year portraits, their little personalities shine through. I love it!

Vancouver Newborn Twin Photography - Seeing Double

I was so excited to meet these sweet baby girls!

I can't believe it's been two years since the last time I got to work with twins and I forgot what an amazing experience it is. See, it's not just about showcasing their individuality. The thrill comes in capturing their special bond.

Preparing for their session, I was overwhelmed with ideas. I was sad that I would be able to realize only a handful of them. Even with the 3-4 hours I set aside for newborn sessions, getting two babies settled and happy at the same time takes time. I got lucky though, as these two ladies were very happy to sleep through pretty much anything.
