Mommy & Me Session | Surrey & Vancouver Photography Studio

Mommy & Me Session | Surrey & Vancouver Photography Studio

There’s something especially tender about a Mommy and Me session, and this one at our optional studio in South Surrey was pure magic. This gorgeous mama and her baby shared the sweetest, most natural moments together. Her little one was so expressive, with the most beautiful, soulful eyes that seemed to tell a story in every frame. The connection between them was effortless, and it made documenting their bond such a joy.

A Relaxed In-Home Newborn Session in Vancouver, BC

I had the joy of returning to photograph a wonderful Vancouver family. This was my second time working with them, and now their little boy has officially stepped into his role as big brother. Their in-home newborn session was everything I love about photographing families where they’re most comfortable. Big brother could grab snacks from the kitchen whenever he needed, we worked perfectly around nap time, and baby settled so easily in the familiar rhythm of home. These natural, unhurried moments are exactly what make in-home newborn photography so special.

The Comfort of Home: Newborn and Family Photography in the Okanagan

The Comfort of Home: Newborn and Family Photography in the Okanagan

One of my favourite things about photographing families at home is how naturally people settle into themselves in their own space.
