Vancouver Family Photographer |Hayes

photocrati gallerySurprise Family Pictures

I met these three the other day to capture some pictures for a surprise for their Mom’s (and wife’s) birthday present.  I love love love this idea.  What Mom, or parent really, doesn’t want pictures of her loved ones?  Having a tangible memory of their smiles and who they were at this moment in life in so special.  Pictures that she can frame and have on her desk, so when she looks up from her work she can see who she is working for.  Who is being affected by the hours she puts in away from them.  She can see these pictures and feel their love and smile a bit at their smiles.  This gift is so priceless; anyone with a loved one would appreciate it.  Images are like music, they can bring you back to a moment when you can smell, hear and see that experience or time in your life again; this implicit memory of your kids love and also of their personalities.

We met at Jericho Beach in Vancouver to get these shots and right away I was struck by the politeness of these two kids.  Wow!  Gotta love good manners 🙂  Having said that, it took about 2 minutes for them to get comfortable and show me their goofy sides.  They were full of great ideas for pictures but also for fun 🙂  It had rained (torrentially) all day but cleared up for us in true Vancouver fashion.  We had wicked cool skies and great colours for our session.  We shot everywhere from the dock, the beach and the parking lot. True story – only way to get those short lived cherry blossoms in the shots 🙂

I had a fantastic time with there three, they were super easy going and fun.  I’m sure their Mom (wife) will be blown away by this special gift.  Thanks for trusting me to capture them.

Vancouver Newborn | baby Leo

Baby Leo

Ahhhh baby Leo was a dram to shoot.  He was so peaceful and content to be arrange, posed and cuddled by his big brother Oliver.  He was born a bit early and so has the svelte body that all us of dream of 😉 and so super cute.  What a perfect little face he has; he looks just like his big bro!  Photographing siblings is always sweet but these two were amazing….after Oliver took a few pictures of Leo, he cuddled right into him and look at him with wonder and then with smiles.  So so sweet – picture perfect for real.  Those are the moments we as parents want to remember.  How teeny tiny they were as newborns and how in awe their siblings are of them.  They appreciate the little toes and fingers and question every sound their little brothers and sisters make.  Later on, these two will love seeing these pictures of them.  They will be amazed that they were ever that small.  These images will even be shown to their kids…crazy!! It was fun to photograph Leo in similar ways that we shot Oliver, same poses and little hats.  It is pretty cool to see the comparison.  What a great job I have, to hang out with such great families and capture how they are growing and changing.
