Let's get digital - Things that make you go hmmmm.... - Vancouver Newborn Photographer

"Unlimited personal reproduction rights"... wow, that's a mouthful, isn't it?

That's why photographers just say "digital files" for short.  But I think over the years consumers started to forget the true meaning of digital files.  Digital files are what negatives were back in film days.  Back then, photographers rarely sold negatives, and if they did, they would charge a premium for those negatives.  Why? Because they understood they were selling unlimited personal reproduction rights.  The client understood that, too! 

Now, I get it, we live in a digital world so you may not like the film comparison.  But what is the actual reason you wish to purchase ALL of the digital files (negatives)? Do you truly want to print them all, in various formats and sizes? Or do you just want to HAVE them all, but they will forever live on your hard drive, and some will be posted on Instagram or Facebook?

I love sharing photos online, and I know many of my clients do, too.  And not everyone's budget allows them to purchase the unlimited personal reproduction rights (aka digital files).  For that reason, beginning in 2014, I have started offering a watermarked web resolution file (perfectly sized for online sharing, but will not print) for every image that is purchased in print.  That way, you get the best of both worlds; all your ordered photos to share with friends and family asap, and beautiful professionally produced products custom designed just for you.  Because let's face it, with a brand new baby, when exactly will you find the time to print that album, or canvas?

Vancouver Newborn Photos - Sweet baby girl

This little dolly was just a dream to photograph.  One of the sweetest newborn girls I've had the pleasure of meeting.  She probably gets that from her parents ;-)

Richmond Newborn Photographer - Lavender fields

I just loved this momma's sense of style.  She chose such wonderful outfits for the family and carefully selected props with me so that the images we captured would look perfectly in their new princess' nursery.

North Vancouver Family Photography - Happy

I am always so delighted when families ask me to capture memories for them throughout the years.  I have had the pleasure of watching their kiddos grow for many years now and each time I am thrilled with the cherished keepsakes we capture.

This session marked the important milestone for little brother.  He can now sit unsupported!

 

Vancouver Baby Photographer - Adorable

Gorgeous just doesn't seem quite enough when describing this family.  Always a pleasure working with them.  They make my job so easy!

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Sleepy

I was delighted to photograph this family again.  Their brand new little girl was just as wonderful as big sis was a couple years prior.  Big sis was so loving and gentle with her brand new baby.

Vancouver Baby Photographer - Toothy Grin

Oh my goodness, he's changed so much! I love seeing how my tiny clients grow and change.  Hard to believe he was a tiny little newborn not that long ago. 

Springtime in Vancouver - Child Photography

It's always so amazing when mother nature wakes up from a deep sleep and gives us beautiful backdrops to play with!

Richmond Baby Photographer - Graduate

I adored photographing this family over the past year.  At every one of their sessions, I captured some of my very own personal favourite images.  This girl, I tell you, she just steals your heart the moment you meet her.  At one years old, she now has a pretty good idea of what she likes and doesn't like, and apparently some of my ideas were not up to her standards.  Not to worry, though, because that's why I allow a bit of extra time, if needed, to ensure I can capture images mom and dad will cherish.  Yes, her parents may have been the ones to hire me, but baby is who's boss! :-)

Vancouver Family Photographer - Christmas Mini Sessions

So excited to announce Family Mini Sessions this year! Lots of people added their names to receive the early bird notice, and I'm sad to say there are only 3 spots left (1 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday). Be sure to act quickly if you want to get in on the fun :-)

Vancouver Baby Photographer - growing

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 :-)

North Vancouver Maternity and Newborn Photographer - House full of boys

This beautiful family came to visit me earlier this summer and big brother was so excited about meeting his new buddy! Before you know it the boys will share some fun adventures together :-)

Vancouver Newborn Photographer - Baby Brother

I know it's weird (and kind of creepy!) to say a baby looks delicious, but honestly, when I saw this little boy, that was the first thing to pop in my head.  He was just so snuggly and relaxed and, well... delicious!
