Sunset Birthday Session || Revelstoke, BC

There's something simply lovely about returning to your hometown, where memories linger around every corner.
This time, I was back for a visit, and it was a special occasion - my niece's birthday. Instead of a typical gift, I decided to give her something truly timeless: a portrait session.
You see, my niece adores horses; they are her source of joy and wonder. When she asked if we could do the portraits at the equestrian grounds, how could I possibly say no?
As I look back on that day, I can't help but smile at the magical portraits we created. It's a reminder that some of life’s most cherished moments unfold when we’re simply being ourselves.

Jericho Beach | Vancouver Family Portraits

It feels like just yesterday that we gathered at Jericho Beach Park to capture the beautiful anticipation of a growing family during their maternity session.
Now, as spring arrives, we find ourselves returning to Jericho Beach. This time, it's for a "Welcome to the Family" portrait session, celebrating the arrival of their newest family member. What truly warms my heart is the lasting connections I've forged with this wonderful family, as we continue to create memories together year after year, marking their families milestones.

What to wear for your Family Session

Here are some of my beautiful families to offer visual tips for choosing the perfect outfits for your family session.

Choose a base colour

Decide on a base colour and have everyone wearing different shades and tones of it.
This will add dimension to your portraits and express everyone’s personality.
Avoid wearing to many patterns as this will make your portrait busy. Have everyone in mostly neutral and solid colours.
Avoid green if your session is in nature. Avoid everyone wearing all white as our eyes are attracted to the highest contrast in an image and the focus will be off your wonderful faces.

Have fun with the footwear

You can coordinate everyone wearing sandals or Van’s in the summer and gumboots in the Fall. Shoes should be as clean as possible.

Don’t put Baby in the corner

Dress your children in a lighter or darker tone than you so they stand out against the clothing you’re wearing.

It’s all about the Fun!

Remember, it’s all about having fun with your family and enjoying your session.
Wear clothing you feel comfortable in and focus on enjoying the playful moments with your family.

Welcome to our Family | Burnaby Lake Family Portraits

I've captured countless family moments over the past 10+ years, but this one holds a special place in my heart.
It was a beautiful combination: a new baby, a large and loving family, and the picturesque backdrop of Burnaby Lake Park.
This family decided to make this moment truly special by investing in a large wall print of their family portrait, that will truly be cherished for years to come.

North Vancouver Family Portraits | Inter River Park

Love makes a Family they say. I have to agree.
This family recently moved into a new home and their Realtor gifted them with a session with me.
They took me to their favourite park in North Vancouver and we romped around in the lush forest creating these portraits they printed for the walls in their new home.

Jericho Beach | Vancouver Family Portraits

Jericho Beach in July is gorgeous with vibrant flowers adorning the lush green fields—a picture-perfect setting for family portraits. Before the baby's arrival, we captured a heartwarming session with the proud big sister, creating lasting memories of this precious time.

Jericho Beach | Vancouver Family Portraits

These kids are famous for nose picking on camera, and I love that about them. HERE and HERE.
I’ve photographed this family many times and the sessions are always playful, and they choose the funnest photos to print for their home.
They’ve become friends over the years, and I think our relationship deepening has made the portrait experience even more special for them.
