Port Moody Family Portraits | Rocky Point Park

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.

Burnaby Family Portraits | Deer Lake Park

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.

East Vancouver Family Portraits | Trout Lake

Mama and MaPa (isn’t that an adorable name) totally won in the clothes styling department this day.
Baby A. looked adorable with her ponytail hair style and yellow pantaloons for her fall family portraits at Trout Lake.
Jumping in puddles before heading home was the reward for being patient and posing for her 1st birthday portraits.
Her family chose a sweet 8x8” Storybook album of their favourite portraits from their session.

Andrea Reimer Headshot Session

I officially met Andrea Reimer when she spoke during the Granville Island Women’s Storytelling Walk I photographed.
Previously I had heard her speak at a luncheon where she shared a personal life experience and I was brought to tears.
I love the testimonial she gave me. It might be the most honest one I’ve received yet.

“I *hate* having my photo taken. Belle turned what is usually a torturous process into a lot of fun. Like going to the dentist and finding out you like the dentist!”

John is caring, funny and intelligent. I think these images captured him perfectly.

“Belle is professional, personable, and provides an excellent experience for her photography sessions. Great photographers not only take good photos, but also care about the quality of their work, and make their clients feel good and at ease.
Belle is a true artist behind the lens with a keen eye to masterfully capture the best moments. I highly recommend.”
