Vancouver Pregnancy Photography - Serene

I simply adore capturing the glow of pregnancy.  There is something so gentle and peaceful about an expectant mother.  And nothing makes me happier than seeing a father-to-be affectionately place his and on the belly.  It was truly a pleasure meeting this lovely couple! 

Ladner Twin Photographer - Charming

I adore working with twins. Sure, twin sessions mean a lot more work, but they're also so much fun! I have to say, I was laughing almost the entire session with these two! You see, Mr. Handsome here was busy charming me with his infectious smile, while his sister was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that we were subjecting her to this ridiculous experience, lol.

After some hilarious (Mr. Handsome thought so!) performances by me, her mommy and her aunty, we finally found a sound that made little Miss grin from ear to ear. After that, it was easy peasy, but I've got to admit, I kinda love the shocked expressions ;-)

North Vancouver Baby Photographer - So Big!

I was completely smitten when I met this sweet little boy just a bit over a year ago. He was so tiny back then! Now, he's grown into such a handsome young man. It was truly a pleasure seeing him and his family again, and I am super excited to see him again this fall!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Friends

I am committed to continually expanding my skill set and improving my work, and what better way to do it, than meet up with fellow newborn photographers whose work I admire to share ideas, tips and tricks. When Alli from Glow Portraits suggested a get together I pounced at the idea. I've been a huge fan of her work for some time now! And I've been in awe of the incredibly talented Caralee of Caralee Case Photography and her vibrant imagery, so I was thrilled when she agreed to join us, to round out our little group.

We were joined by two gorgeous little girls who have started out their modeling career beautifully :-) Just look at them!

This little dolly was only 7 days old and such a great sleeper. I photographed her big sister when I was just starting out. It's hard to believe it's been nearly 4 years already!

Turns out getting my engineering degree was good for something, lol. This sweetheart's mommy and I went to UBC together! The timing couldn't have been better. I was thrilled to photograph this cutie.

We had an amazing time working with these little princesses, sharing ideas and techniques, and chatting about everything related to photography. As is typically the case, time flew by way too fast and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye. Thank you ladies! I hope it won't be too long before we meet again :-)

Richmond Baby Photographer - Pure Joy

There is nothing sweeter than a baby's smile.  It's just so earnest and  pure.  No pretending, nothing fake, babies let you know exactly how they feel at a particular moment and when you catch a big grin you feel like you've won the jackpot.  And that's exactly how I felt when I met this little pumpkin.  She was shy for all of two seconds before deciding that perhaps I wasn't so bad after all.  Isn't she a doll?!!

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.
