Stanley Park Family Portraits | Lost Lagoon

We spent a cold November morning together in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. They came prepared with long johns under their pants.
I wish I’d thought of that!
During the consultation appointment in their home I noticed a wall portrait in their stairwell. It was a portrait of them cuddled up together on the beach with their son who was a toddler at the time.
Meeting with my clients beforehand helps create a connection and also helps me to know what they truly want and need.
They expressed to me that they’d like a similar portrait of their family for their son’s upcoming 6th birthday.
They chose the cute portrait below of them crouched together in the frosty field. The 20” print hangs in their stairwell one flight up from the portrait they had done previously. What a wonderful way to show how your family is changing and growing!!

West End Vancouver Family Portraits

I’ve been photographing this sweet West End family since their eldest was a wee baby.
We recently spent a lovely afternoon together creating portraits for their 1 year-old daughter.
Dads wanted portraits in the neighbourhood so we went on a walk together and enjoyed a lovely warm September day.

Kids on Wheels || BC Cycling Coalition

I got to spend a few days with this awesome team of Instructors from the BC Cycling Coalition 'Kids on Wheels' bicycle camp. The camp teaches children bicycle safety using push bikes. It was a super cute experience capturing their joy and excitement at learning how to bicycle.

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.

3 Generations || Vancouver Family Photographer

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.

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.
