Deer Lake Park || Vancouver Family Photographer

When you walk into this families home you see something that is becoming a rarity these days. Printed and framed family portraits adorn almost all the walls. It is obvious that this family values having printed memories of their loved ones around them.
One of these Moms is acutely aware of the importance of capturing family moments. “My Mum passed away two days before our son's 1st birthday, so it was important to us to have as many pictures of our family as possible."
We met at Deer Lake Park for the family session to celebrate their son’s 1st birthday.
She wore her Mother’s pearls and her partner wore her Father’s ring.

This FAMILY chose a sweet cameo window on their STORYBOOK ALBUM of THEIR FAVORITE portraits FROM THEIR DEER LAKE PARK SESSIon.

Our Growing Family || Vancouver Family Photographer

I've been photographing this family since their eldest was 3 months old and her parents wanted similar portraits of their little guy on his 3 month birthday.
Big sister greeted me at the front door with a smile and a warm hug that totally melted my heart.
She has a wicked iTunes dance mix that we listened and danced to while creating these portraits together.
The beautiful soft north facing window light was perfect for these intimate family portraits in my clients new home.

Fur Baby || Vancouver Family Photographer

Anyone who has a fur baby knows they are part of the family. So of course Shirley the Dog had to be included in the maternity session portraits. This family choose to purchase a gallery wall and the last portrait with her best furry faced friend hangs on the wall above her bed.
Pro Tip: hide doggie treats in clothing to get their full attention.

Brotherly Love || Vancouver Family Photographer

Somehow we managed to get them to stop their wrestling competition long enough to capture this sweet moment at their Trout Lake family portrait session.

Generational Portraits || Vancouver Family Photographer

This family rents a house for a few days every Christmas so they can celebrate it together.
I've photographed large groups before, but never a family this large, and guess what? No one cried!

You see that cute pumpkin on the left side? We have a date in the Spring for a one year portrait session.
I am friends with his parents on Facebook and it has been unbearable seeing all the adorable photos they are posting of him the past few months. I can't wait!

Welcome to the Family || Vancouver Family Photographer

This family has moved to Vancouver Island, which I am a wee bit sad about as I'd love to continue photographing their sweet family as it grows.
We did manage to get a Snow Day in Vancouver for their Trout Lake family portrait which made it that more memorable.

Happy 1st Birthday || Vancouver Family Photographer

Lukas celebrated his 1st birthday dressed in style with his Papa's. 
I'm so in love with his red hair and his adorable cheeks.
See how much he's changed in the past 6 months on this sweet session we did with his grandparents.
