Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I just wanted to take a short moment to thank all of you for an amazing year. Your support and encouragement has helped me grow. It means so much to me that I was able to capture special memories for you and your families. I wish you a happy holiday and may all your wishes come true in the New Year!

un petit bébé...

Well, not that small ;-) This sweet little man made his mommy wait a long time, but like all babies, he came into this world eventually. I was honoured to be the reason for his first trip out since coming home from the hospital. He was a real cutie and was quite happy to let me snap his first photos. Thank you so much for letting me share this special time with you!

Tiny visitor

Well, I got to meet the sweetest, tiniest little man today! He was a curious one and did not want to sleep for fear he'd miss something exciting ;-) The weather certainly posed a challenge today as it was a very dark and dreary day, but I would not let the west coast climate stop me from capturing this darling boy's first days. His momma was certain he was going to be born early, so it must have come as quite a surprise when he decided to be one week late. You may remember his mommy from here. It's been a pleasure seeing you guys again! Enjoy.

A Little Late

I'm a little late getting this sneak peek up. This precious "little" girl came to see me a few weeks ago and after a little coaxing, dozed off beautifully and let me play :-) I say "little" because she was the largest newborn I photographed to date weighing in at a whopping 9lb 3 oz at birth! She is loved all around, by momma and poppa and big brother, too :-) Congratulations!

Bonjour!

I had a wonderful time photographing this fun couple expecting their first baby. I was so excited to finally take things outdoors into the beautiful autumn colours. Their families are in Quebec and have not seen the lovely baby bump grow, so I hoped I could at least give them a glimpse of the expectant glow. Baby will be here really soon and I can't wait to meet him or her. Congratulations G. and A.!

Special

I've been friends with this little girl's mommy and daddy for over 10 years, and I feel so thrilled to finally meet her. Never thought I'd see the day that R. would become a daddy, but he truly is a natural with his precious little girl. I bet she's gonna know how to pull all the strings to get what she wants in no time ;-)

She is absolutely beautiful, you guys, and I couldn't be more happy for you! Congratulations. I hope I did her justice. She certainly was a photographer's dream. Let me do whatever I wanted and didn't complain at all.












Yes sweetheart, your mommy and daddy ARE crazy, but you're gonna have a LOT of fun growing up!



She was also gracious enough to model my latest hat design ;-)

A Little Bit of Everything

Boy, oh boy, did I meet a fantastic lady today! She was up for anything, and I mean anything, and I'm sure her boyfriend will love his present, but I think it's only fair that we don't spoil his surprise ;-). I think the images below really show off her funky spirit! It was a pleasure working with you, S.! Enjoy.

Tiny Doll

Well, I just had the sweetest little munchkin in my studio, and at only 12 days she was a perfect little lady! She certainly was a curious little girl and every time I pressed the shutter she'd open up her eyes to take a peak at what I was up to, lol. With gorgeous eyes like hers, though, I was glad to see her awake! Congratulations guys and thank you for bringing her over.

I'm lucky!

Every time I have a session I realize just how lucky I am to do what I absolutely LOVE for a living! From the voluptuous expectant curves, to the precious newborns, to the unique dynamics of families, I feel honoured that I was chosen to capture their essence for posterity.

Today was no exception. I had a visit from a striking woman expecting her first baby. At 35 weeks, she was just at the perfect time in her pregnancy for a photo session and we had so much fun! I had a very hard time choosing the photos for this sneak peek because we captured so many wonderful images. I can't wait for you darling to arrive. He/she will be here before you know it :-)

Enjoy!

Stunning

I had the pleasure of photographing an absolutely stunning momma-to-be today. It was extra special for me, as this was my first session in my brand new studio space. It's always so much fun when my clients are up for anything and I really got to push my creative boundaries while I figured out my way around the new studio. Thanks so much you guys for making my job easy! Can't wait to see you when your sweet bundle of joy arrives. Enjoy!

Blue Steel

I had the pleasure of photographing the sweetest little man today... and his newborn son (haha, just kidding Neil!) You may remember daddy from this session. Despite being thoroughly unimpressed with my LOUD shutter, baby B let me snap a few shots before he let me know in no uncertain terms that he was finished, lol. He's gorgeous, you guys! Congratulations and thank you for letting me capture this special time in your lives.

Looks like father and son have been working hard at perfecting the "blue steel" look for this photo session :-)

Fun in the Sun

It was another gorgeous day in Vancouver and I was really excited to meet up with my friend Ashleigh for a maternity session. It was a perfect day for trying new things, both indoors and outdoors. And it certainly didn't hurt that the parents-to-be were such a gorgeous couple. I had lots of fun! Thanks for letting me tag along :-)









Here is Ashleigh hard at work. You go girl!

The Right Mix

I had such a fun session with these guys today. We had just the right mix of classic and fun. If you don't believe me scroll down to the last photo, lol. That one's for you Neil! You guys were a blast. I can't wait to meet your little guy when he gets here.






Looks like somebody has been practicing their "Blue Steel" look. Nice!
