Early birds get the worm, or in the case of these two adorable lovebirds, catch the best light. After exchanging emails on the overall mood of our Vancouver maternity session, we decided on the early morning hours, when coffee tastes the sweetest. These two required little to no direction. Being their happy, cute, loving, selves was as natural in front of the camera as breathing, for them. A gorgeous couple inside and out, it was an absolute pleasure capturing these memories for them. Hope to join the three of you next on your boat for some crab fishing soon! …

Sometime during the holidays, I had this vision come to me about a Christmas themed photo session and decided to offer it to my favorite families. So, I asked Teresa & Neel and they jumped at my proposal. I'm always blown away by how cooperative and happy their two lovely children are. Their two maternal grandparents were also a joy. The best part of all, a week into January and their home was perfectly preserved in all its Christmas glory. They even had all the props prepared for me. Needless to say, I had an unforgettable afternoon making photos and…
