Watch me Grow || Vancouver Family Photographer

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.

Welcome to the Family || Vancouver Family Photographer

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.

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.

This FAMILY chose a LINEN STORYBOOK ALBUM WITH THEIR FAVORITE PORTRAITS FROM THEIR SESSION.

She's a Star || Vancouver Family Photographer

Sweet baby Adele's family chose a hand-bound Storybook album of their favorite images from her session.
When I delivered the album her 2-year-old sister asked her Mama to read 'the story' over and over again, squealing with delight each time she saw a photo of herself in the album.
I imagine them all sitting together again snuggled up on their couch when Adele is old enough to enjoy her portraits too.

Adele's family chose an 8x8" Storybook album and a matching 6x6" Album for her Grandma of the favorite images from their session.

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.

Smiles and Dimples || Vancouver Family Photographer

I'm a big kid and a bit of a goofball so it's usually fairly easy to get at least a few smiles from the wee ones I photograph. But this child, this child made my job so effortless.
What a happy little person and those dimples!! 

Lukas's Family || Vancouver Family Photographer

Lukas was born in December and was 4 months old for his debut photo session.
His parents were 37 and 47 and his grandparents were 59 and 75.
This guy is usually all smiles, except for this day. I had to make some ridiculous noises and facial expressions to elicit that smile. It was worth it.
