This sweet family is creating a special memory of their little one’s first year with my ‘Watch me Grow’ package.
We’ve completed a newborn session, this adorable 6 month session and will finish with his 1 year session this winter.
l will be designing a hand-bound 10x10” heirloom album with their favorite portraits from all the sessions.
What a wonderful legacy they are leaving their child.
Raise your hand if you’re a second or third child and have less photos of your childhood than your siblings.
What I love about this family is that they are doing family portraits of their daughter at the same age that they had their son’s session. So she will have memories of her childhood too.
We met for their session at Jericho Beach Park and they were late due to an unexpected need for an outfit change.
These things happen. :)
This FAMILY chose a sweet 8x8” STORYBOOK ALBUM of THEIR FAVORITE portraits FROM THEIR JERICHO BEACH PARK SESSIon.
When I arrived his parents were behind schedule and still getting ready. I usually do newborn sessions in my clients home for this reason. New parents are tired and have more important things to focus on in the first few weeks.
I had the job of holding him while they were getting ready and I was completely overjoyed.
It was hard to put him down to be honest.
The way they looked at him during their session melted my heart.
I asked if they spend hours just staring at him and they both agreed it was their new favorite past-time.
A regular headshot client of mine (pictured far right) contacted me to do a special family portrait with his aunt.
Helen is 91-years-young and she is pictured here with her nieces and nephew, great nieces and nephews and her great-great nephew. As you can imagine, this studio session was ridiculously fun.
The reveal appointment with them was also hilarious! The whole family came to see the slideshow I had prepared from their session.
They all chose to have a print made of this portrait. I’m sure they will enjoy this wonderful portrait for many years.
What a wonderful gift to give your family.
Last summer I donated a headshot session to the McLaren Housing Society Annual Sparkle Party fundraiser. I donate portrait sessions to a few non-profits throughout the year and Physician Donald Cooper won a session with me.
We headed to Granville Island this past fall. I love photographing on the Island because of the colours and textures.
Donald was so happy with the portraits he actually had me make prints for Christmas presents. His family was overjoyed to have these new handsome portraits of him.
Caroline contacted me because she wanted Christmas portraits of her children and grandchildren.
My assistant and I brought a portable studio to the families home and we photographed 6 adults and 5 children. As you can imagine pandemonium and hilarity ensued.
Here are a few of my favorite moments from my time with this lovely family.
Caroline chose to display her session portraits in the heirloom Memory Box.
The Memory Box is a unique way to display her portraits, and she can rotate them each day on the sweet easel that is included.
Sometimes I photograph big kids, like Vancouver lawyer Ian Burroughs, who needed portraits for an issue of Smart Risk magazine.
Meenu and Ally wanted an urban feel to their maternity session. They arrived dressed in black leather jackets and I took them to my favorite places on Granville Island that have a slightly edgier look to them.
Both these two are dog lovers so when a couple walked by with their new puppy I just had to borrow Wallace for a few minutes and we had a puppy love fest.
Meenu is due in Feburary and we are doing ‘Watch Me Grow’ sessions throughout the babies first year, culminating in a beautiful hand-bound heirloom album with their favorites from each session
