Vancouver Family Photographer blog

I’m going to be straight up honest here. I love shopping. Particularly for my kids. I honestly get more excited shopping for them then for myself these days. Seriously, kids have way cooler things than adults do. In the 4.5 years since I became a mom, I’ve spent a lot of time shopping, and have […]

Vancouver Baby Stores: My Go-to Shops

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

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. But when we sit a kid in front of a camera and say “smile” they either don’t, or their smile is unnatural […]

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

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 […]

Pebble Baby – Vancouver Kids’ Store

It’s my joy in life to be able to capture sweet moments to help parents savour their kids while they’re small. Life is chaotic, and sometimes days feel mundane, but they are beautiful. The way kids rely on and look up to their parents at this age and relate to their siblings is so special. […]

Family Photography in Vancouver

It can be challenging to clothes your children. Finding stylish but sustainable options is hard. And often, especially at a certain age between 2 and about 8, you can pretty much guarantee your kid is going to rip, stain or otherwise ruin most of their clothing. It seems wasteful to spend a lot of money […]
