They don’t call it Raincouver for nothing. October has been filled with rainy and gloomy days here in Vancouver.
This sweet family was into braving the potential downpours. They donned their rubber boots and we headed to Trout Lake in East Vancouver for their portrait session. It was mostly a drizzle day and we enjoyed jumping in puddles and playing in the beautiful fall leaves.
This sweet family loves to spend time together.
Brother and Sister are best friends and obviously love each other.
We’ve done a few family sessions together over the past few years and here’s the links to all the sweetness.
2017 Session 2019 Session
This family welcomed their new family member by recreating portraits they had done of their first born at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby.
You can see his original session HERE.
This FAMILY chose a sweet STORYBOOK ALBUM of their DEER LAKE PARK portraits. This album matches the one they had done for their son’s 1st birthday session.
This family was absolutely adorable in their cute and colour coordinated outfits.
Our playful photo session at Jericho Beach Park, complete with their furry family member, was a delightful experience.
Their closeness and genuine affection for each other added a beautiful layer of warmth to the photos.
And, let's just say, there may have been a few donuts involved to keep the spirits high and the smiles even brighter.
Last time I photographed these two the youngest was tiny and new.
We met up at Trout Lake in East Vancouver to take advantage of the blooming buttercup flowers.
Their parents decided they loved the scuffed knee on their eldest so we didn’t do any Photoshop magic there and kept it real.
During their fun session the eldest gave me a nickname which I think is going to stick.
Henceforth, I will be known as Bee-Belle. At least to these two.
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.
A child’s first year is filled with wonderful milestones like their first sweet smile, sitting up by themselves and their first joyful steps.
I offer my clients the opportunity to treasure those moments forever with my ‘Watch Me Grow’ sessions.
Parents can choose up to 3 sessions in their child’s first year and I design a beautiful hand-bound 10x10” portrait album to celebrate the year.
This couple wanted to include a maternity session with an urban feel, so we chose the rustic location of Granville Island. They showed up wearing matching leather jackets and I knew then we had to finish the year at the same location with the family wearing matching leather jackets. Happily, they agreed!

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!!
