They don’t call it Raincouver for nothing. October has been filled with rainy and gloomy days here in Vancouver.
This sweet family was into braving the potential downpours. They donned their rubber boots and we headed to Trout Lake in East Vancouver for their portrait session. It was mostly a drizzle day and we enjoyed jumping in puddles and playing in the beautiful fall leaves.
This sweet family loves to spend time together.
Brother and Sister are best friends and obviously love each other.
We’ve done a few family sessions together over the past few years and here’s the links to all the sweetness.
2017 Session 2019 Session
This family was absolutely adorable in their cute and colour coordinated outfits.
Our playful photo session at Jericho Beach Park, complete with their furry family member, was a delightful experience.
Their closeness and genuine affection for each other added a beautiful layer of warmth to the photos.
And, let's just say, there may have been a few donuts involved to keep the spirits high and the smiles even brighter.
Last time I photographed these two the youngest was tiny and new.
We met up at Trout Lake in East Vancouver to take advantage of the blooming buttercup flowers.
Their parents decided they loved the scuffed knee on their eldest so we didn’t do any Photoshop magic there and kept it real.
During their fun session the eldest gave me a nickname which I think is going to stick.
Henceforth, I will be known as Bee-Belle. At least to these two.
This family had just moved into their new home, and as a thoughtful gesture, their realtor gifted them a family session with me.
We decided to visit their new favourite park for the session. When meeting a new family, I like to involve the children in the creative process to make them feel included. The kids excitedly pointed out a bridge they wanted me to see, and while exploring, we stumbled upon a picturesque country-style fence that became the perfect backdrop for their portraits.
As you can imagine, the youngest is a jokester of the family, and there’s some behind-the-scenes tickling going on.
I love how they chose this portrait to have printed as their family wall portrait.
Mom won a Silent Auction portrait session I had donated to Camp Fircom in 2019 and we’ve been trying to get together ever since to do their portraits. Finally, during a Pandemic we made it happen. :)
They chose a fine art printed wall portrait of their family and one of each of the girls.
A child’s first year is filled with wonderful milestones like their first sweet smile, sitting up by themselves and their first joyful steps.
I offer my clients the opportunity to treasure those moments forever with my ‘Watch Me Grow’ sessions.
Parents can choose up to 3 sessions in their child’s first year and I design a beautiful hand-bound 10x10” portrait album to celebrate the year.
This couple wanted to include a maternity session with an urban feel, so we chose the rustic location of Granville Island. They showed up wearing matching leather jackets and I knew then we had to finish the year at the same location with the family wearing matching leather jackets. Happily, they agreed!
