Hailey

One of the things I really love about baby shoots is that they are never ever the same. You just can't predict how active, alert, placid, happy, sleepy, hungry etc a babe will be. We totally work around them and timing is loosely scheduled to make sure that we have enough time. In the case of Hailey however, nothing was a problem....

Here she is, one of the calmest little ones I've had the pleasure of meeting....

With Johanna....

All the best!

Ellary

Ellary is just the cutest little girl! At first very shy and unsure, she soon warmed up. Here are a few favs from our session....

Sasha & Jack (2)

Larissa brought Sasha and Jack in at about this time last year for photos and were back again this year. Both of them had grown so much!

Here they are.....

Have a great holiday season!

Karen's Family

I hadn't seen Karen for perhaps two years, so I was thrilled when she called to book some family portraits. Our rainy day plan was to shoot in one of my favourite under cover areas - under the Burrard Bridge, but when I arrived I was horrified to find my shooting area had been turned into carparking for the City.

Karen suggested an alternate at Kits Beach so we moved there.  It was a good choice of location although freeeeeezing cold. We did a few warm up shots and then they were brave enough to take off their hats and coats.....

I love Karen's new look.

Here is Madeleine...

And Eamon...I have lots of him smiling too, but I really like this one...

Just as we were leaving I saw these trees and had to take a few shots. They may be the very last sign of Fall in Vancouver....

It was awesome to reconnect again Karen and to see how your family has grown up.

Casper

Nicolle and Simon were looking for photos of newborn Casper and were referred to me by their doula. Here is Casper...already very strong and moving around a lot.

I just love newborn babies little hands and feet!

Elena & Roman

Elena contacted me last week to see if I was available for a maternity shoot. Turns out when she came in that she was just 4 days from her due date! And she was still working! I was totally impressed. Here are a few shots of Elena and hubby Roman...

See you in a couple of weeks with your little one!

Tiana

Marie and Jordan came in for their maternity shoot in September. I was happy to meet little Tiana at just a couple of weeks old. She was super calm through most of the shoot, always looking towards the light.

Here are a few favourites.....

This last one was Marie's idea and I love how it turned out...

Great to meet little Tiana!

Kit

Kit was referred to me by a co-worker whose maternity photos I took last year. It also turned out that I had shot another of her co-worker's wedding a few years ago.  Kit spotted their photos and testimonial on my website. I am constantly amazed at how small this city really is - people you meet know people you've met etc. It happens all the time and is quite wonderous.

Anyway, on to the photos.  Here's Kit....

With husband Alan....

Just at the shoot's end I saw these boots and had to take a photo.

Great to meet you Kit - see you when baby is born....
