Vancouver Twin Photography - Room to stretch

After sharing a confined space for several months, these little two were happy to have some space to themselves. Whether she kicked him a few too many times, or he told too many knock-knock jokes, I don't know, but one thing was certain, they did not like to share the spotlight :-). Individually, they cooperated beautifully, but put them together and they were not having it. At 6 weeks old, sessions are challenging, with twins, mom had to work twice as hard at comforting them. That said, all the effort was worth it!

HO HO HO - Vancouver Christmas Mini Photo Sessions

Christmas may still be a couple of months away, but it will be here before you know it and it's time to start planning your holiday cards.

For the first time ever, Mamique Photography will be holding a day of mini sessions on October 29th this year. The sessions will be short and sweet (15-20 minutes) in the gorgeous fall colours mother nature has set up for us :-) Should mother nature decide to rain on our parade, the day will be moved to November 5th (and we'll do the photos in the studio should it rain that day, also).

The session fee of $200 will include the following:

15-20 minute outdoor shoot
5 fully retouched images to chose your prints from
1 8x10 print
set of 24 5x7 Christmas cards with envelopes

Additional card sets are $50 per set, and additional products/prints can be purchased at 10% off the a la carte pricing. Digital files are not included but can be purchased separately.

Reserve your spot by clicking on the button below. There is a very limited number of spots available and they are on a first come first serve basis.

I have a beautiful selection of Christmas card designs available in a variety of finishes. You will be able to see samples and select your favourite at the session.

What if you want Christmas cards, but would prefer to use an image from your past session? No worries! Cards are available at $100 for first set of 24, with additional sets at $50 each. And yes, envelopes are included! If you wish to see the various samples, just give me a call to set up an appointment. Please note, order deadline for Christmas cards is November 15th.

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.

Lazy Blogger Alert!

Well, not so much lazy as my kids were on summer break and I had to navigate my work schedule around them :-) Blogging ended up on the bottom of a very long list, but I'm happy to report that school is back in session and I will actually be able to complete some very important tasks! My youngest started Kindergarten this year (yikes!) so there will be a few more days of a very gradual entry, but starting next week both of them will be in school full time and I will have no more excuses ;-). I will be missing summer, though.

Without further ado, here is sweet Miss A. who I had the pleasure of photographing all the way back in June and her parents who I met at the end of May! Yes, I am that far behind :-(.
