This sweet little girl came into the world at the start of February. Her parents and older sister had been waiting for this day eagerly, and it was quite the celebration when she arrived. Since they have opted for the Baby’s First Year package, I am looking forward to watching this little girl grow over the year.
Our session was so smooth… she slept like a dream, and snuggled in with her big sister for some great poses.
Here are some images from our newborn session:
This little guy was so full of charm. He was such a happy guy for our session, and although I can find 2 month olds hard to predict, Mr. S was so laid back, and happy to do whatever we asked. Put him in a basket, yep, he was okay with that. Give him some tummy time… yep, still good!
I love capturing these moments, as in a baby’s first year they grow SO much.
It’s only the 3rd week of January but I’ve already been busy with quite a few sessions. But this sweet little girl was my first newborn of 2017. She was due to be born on Christmas eve, but had other plans. Despite mom wanting to meet her in 2016, she decided to wait until 2017 to make her entrance.
After seeing mom and dad there is no doubt that these two make gorgeous babies. Enjoy your sneak peek!
What can I say? Life happened. In the blink of an eye it went from being summer to starting a whole new year. Since my last blog post, school has started, the kids did skating lessons, it SNOWED in Vancouver, and stayed around for a long time (in face, as I write this mid January there is STILL snow on the ground.) We’ve had fun skating, tubing, sledding, snowshoeing, visiting family and friends over Christmas and getting back into the routine of things for January.
So, with getting back into the routine of things I need to blog quite a few sessions. I am aiming for one or two a week, so we’ll see how that goes! In the meantime, here are some snowy Coquitlam images from the past month…
When I was asked to photograph Ali and Aoife’s wedding, I jumped at the chance. These two ladies are so full of fun, and have so much love for each other, it’s ridiculous. And then they mentioned it would be at the Hart House in Burnaby — such a stunning location.
The day turned out to be gorgeous, despite the weather forecast leading up to the event. Aiofe had friends and family coming all the way from Ireland, so thankfully Vancouver weather decided to play nice. The ladies showed up in a vintage taxi, all decked out for the occasion. Chauffeur Norm did a fabulous job of making them feel special. An afternoon ceremony, complete with dog ring bearer, went off perfectly in the late afternoon sunshine. And then it was champagne and congratulations on the grass afterwards. We headed down the boardwalks for some fun pictures with the kids from the wedding party, and then took our time winding our way back to the reception with just Ali and Aoife.
A big thank you to Tanja Aelbrecht from Tanja and Jelger Photography for second shooting for me. And for Ali and Aoife for letting me be a part of their special day.
I shot some headshots a few weeks ago for the lovely Rena Kendall-Craden. I felt humbled having the Director of Corporate Communications for the City of Vancouver in my home studio, but we rocked the session. She’s got such personality and flair…

I got the call just last Friday that a new little boy had come into the world and the parents were looking for someone to take his newborn shots. Luckily, I was able to meet with them on Tuesday, when Mr. T was just about 2 weeks old, which is the perfect time for sleepy newborns.
Mr.T was a perfect gentleman, letting me pose him while he spent the morning dreaming. We also headed out to the trails around my home.. there will be some interesting photos coming up on the blog next week! Stay tuned, and in the meantime here is a sneak peek… enjoy! 
Mr. E was a superstar at our session. He slept, well, like a baby, and enjoyed all the snuggles from big brother throughout the photo shoot. All that dark hair and squishy rolls… don’t get me started on what a heart-breaker this little guy is going to be! Mom and dad, you’re going to have your hands full with your two adorable boys.
This warm spring weather has been amazing for late afternoon photography sessions and I had the pleasure of capturing the special time for my friend as she creates a new life. I love shoot pregnant mamas, as the human body is truly amazing, and I find it so captivating to photograph those special moments before a baby is born.
The Coquitlam River and forest was a gorgeous backdrop for our session. Please enjoy the teasers:
The weather this April has been amazing… like a preview to summer. It was perfect conditions for a wonderful family session out on the Port Coquitlam Dyke along the Pitt River.
The sun was glinting through the leaves, and the kids were having a good time blowing on the dandelion fluff alongside the path. These kids were so great, and truly had a fun time with each other throughout our session. I love the carefree attitudes that make a session fly by.
