Vancouver Family Photographer blog

At the beginning of 2021, I may have made a few too many resolutions. One of my favourites though, has been the 365 Challenge. I saw this in a photographer’s Facebook group – the idea of committing to take one photo every day for the whole year. On top of being a really creative way […]

365 Challenge: Photographing each day

Every time I have a session outdoors I left reminded what a privilege it is to live in B.C. The fact that our mild weather means that my clients can choose outdoor locations all year round is definitely a plus, but it’s nothing compared to the stunning scenery we have to choose from for backdrops. […]

Golden Ears Maternity Photography

The number one reason clients pick me for their family photography session is my natural style. Families desperately want images of their children’s authentic smiles – of real happy faces and candid interactions.

Family Photography: Why kids should misbehave

It’s been a long last year. If your kids are like mine, they’ve probably watched every Paw Patrol episode two or three times by now. While the T.V. can be helpful when we’re all stuck at home together with nothing to do, sometimes it’s just too much. Too much screen time generally leads to my […]

Spas in North Vancouver, BC

Newborn sessions are my jam. Those teeny tiny toes. Those itty bitty fingers. Those squishy little cheeks! I could spend all day with infants… and fortunately for the time being I get to! There’s nothing I love more than a nicely swaddled, dozy little babe. We’ve always swaddled our babies until they were probably too […]

My Favourite Swaddles for Newborn Sessions

As a Maple Ridge maternity photographer, I generally get to photograph a lot of families, waiting on baby number two or three. While I absolutely love these sessions and having the opportunity to capture the excitement of big sisters and brothers to meet their baby, there’s something very fun about photographing just mama. Kids add […]

Maple Ridge Maternity Photographer

Family photos are priceless. These days go by so quickly, and before we know it, our kids are grown up and don’t want to hug us in public. I personally hire a professional to take photos of my family each year (because I’d like SOME photos with me in them). I always have the best […]

Why your Family Photos Deserve to be Printed

Many people who live in Vancouver aren’t even sure where Maple Ridge is exactly. They know it’s east. They know it’s countryside and many of them think of it as hickville. As someone who lives there, I can assure you that it isn’t so. In fact, there are plenty of things to do in Maple […]
