Happy New Year!!!!

I just wanted to thank you all for making 2010 an incredible year for Mamique Photography. I am passionate about capturing the precious details of brand new little people and the joy I feel after every session is impossible to put into words. I got to meet some of the most beautiful newborns in the Lower Mainland and their wonderful families. Once again, congratulations to all my clients for welcoming your sweet little bundles into the world this year. May 2011 be filled with fun and laughter as you watch your little ones grow and change. All the best and thank you!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Wizard

This lovely little man was born on the shortest day of the year. There is a real feeling of peace and serenity around him and his mommy thinks he's a tiny wizard. He very well could be :-) At only 6 days old, he was very sleepy for the most part, so imagine my surprise when he stared right at me and gave me a huge grin.

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Great Friends

It was two nights before Christmas, and all through the house, lots of creatures were stirring, probably even a mouse..... :-)

We had a lovely Christmas get together with my husband's childhood friends. Between the 4 families, we had 9 kids between the ages of 2 and 7 and another one on the way. There were tons of giggles, and lots of fun, plus the occasional tear or heated disagreement, lol, but all 'n all, the kids played wonderfully together. I even found a chance to sneak out with the mom-to-be to catch just a few photos of her gorgeous belly! What a lovely way to start our Christmas celebrations :-)

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Hungry Man

Today's little guy LOVED to eat, lol. Sleeping, not so much :-) That's okay, though, since he was pretty happy to just lounge and check things out. And no baby can resist the powers of the Peanut Wrap, even if it's just for a few minutes.

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 - Girls day out

Just a little over a week before Christmas is here, but before I can get ready for Santa, there are still a few more sessions to go. Yesterday, I had a sweet mommy-to-be in my studio and she brought along her mommy, because daddy-to-be couldn't get away from work. Seeing them together made me really miss my mom. She's all the way in Winnipeg and I really don't get to see her as much as I'd like.

Baby M. is due in just over 3 weeks so I'm excited to see them again very soon. Have a great Christmas and enjoy your sneak peek :-)

Port Moody Maternity Photographer - Radiant

I got to photograph another gorgeous belly today! I always have such a wonderful time getting to know my clients and watching their faces light up as they talk about their baby. This lovely momma is anxious to meet her baby girl who is due in the new year. I just love the name they have chosen! But I won't spoil the surprise ;-)

Enjoy your sneak peek and see you soon.

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 - Lovely Miss L.

The sun was shining brightly in Vancouver today (maybe a little too brightly, lol) while I got to spend a lovely afternoon with Miss L. and her parents.

Vancouver Maternity Photographer - Dreamy

As soon as I saw the delicate pink lace and ruffles, together with the delicate porcelain skin, visions of Jane Austin's world came flooding in. How shocking would maternity imagery like this have been back in those days! I'm so glad we live in a time where a woman's body, and especially the curves of an expectant mother-to-be, are celebrated :-)

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.
