Vancouver Family Photographer blog
Hey, I’m Kelly! I’m a mom of three and a lifestyle photographer in Vancouver. You may have just read that and thought “what the heck is lifestyle?” Well, I’m about to answer that question, show you some examples and tell you why I choose to capture families in this style rather than the more traditional […]
Spring is one of my favourite seasons for sure. After what has felt like an extremely long winter, I’m welcoming this coming spring with open arms. With temperatures in the double digits recently, I’m getting giddy for spring family photos! Many families who hire a professional for photography each year wait until the fall, but […]
Shop Local Vancouver has been a movement for many years now. Historically, people purchased locally made items out of necessity. Eventually, companies discovered it was cheaper to outsource manufacturing and by doing so, they could keep costs down. Unfortunately, those costs they were cutting were usually people’s wages. In the race to the lowest price, […]
The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and the flowers are starting to bloom. Spring is almost here! And it brings with it one of the best seasons for family photography sessions! There are so many reasons Spring is one of my favourite times for family sessions, and while I’ll share all […]
There is something special about in-home family photography sessions. Over the years of capturing different seasons for many families, I’ve developed a few favourites. While there’s nothing as stunning as a fall golden hour session in the mountains or by the water, there’s something about snuggly in-home family photography sessions that make them my favourite. […]
I’m just going to come out and say it. No one is really ready to welcome their child. It doesn’t matter how much reading you’ve done or what you’ve bought or how much time you’ve spent around babies. Nothing prepares you for the life-altering moment of becoming a mother. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
