Mothers & Daughters

M O T H E R S 

I had the pleasure to shoot this gorgeous mother-daughter duo at Queen Elizabeth Park. It was the perfect setting and they were dressed to match! I love shooting at this time of day, the warm sunlight filtering through bright green trees on a spring afternoon. Finding the perfect location sets the mood for the shoot, and did we ever have it. The mother daughter bond, the sweet dresses, the quiet location, it all worked together so well!

The mother-child connection is something you can’t just expect or ask for, it is a natural phenomenon that we are so blessed to be apart of. That bond is so rare and special, and these two depicted it perfectly! They were so comfortable with each other, and clearly the best of friends. It was such a playful experience to photograph their relationship – the games, the handholding, kisses & cuddles. 

Moms are a child’s FIRST best friend. How lucky are we?!

ALL ABOUT  Y O U 

It’s all too often that the moms get stuck behind the camera, capturing all of the special moments and not be able to partake in the fun. I love sharing this time with moms, to allow them to be the ones on the other side of the camera for once. Not even to just be in the pictures, but to dedicate a time when it is JUST about the mothers and the kids. No expectations, no pressure, no “reason” for a photo, just a kid and their  mom “doing their thing”!

Mothers Day is just around the corner, so please contact me if you want to arrange something special with your little ones!

To all of my past and my future families, THANK YOU.

Lyons | West Vancouver Family Photographer

photocrati galleryI am so lucky to be these guys’ family photographer!

The first time I photographed the Lyons twins they were about 6moths old and I fell in love with them then.  I think I was meant to be their photographer anyways, because first, we all are from West and North Vancouver and the boys and I share a birthday!  So cool 🙂  I have done a session with them every year around their birthday and it is so amazing to see them growing up into these cool little dudes.  The last few times they brought their golf clubs and both their swings are amazing…..these dudes are natural athletes for sure.  We did this photo session in West Vancouver at a park called John Lawson.  It is a pretty good spot for pictures, it has grass, beach and a wicked playground to play on and the boys had fun.  We even ventured out on the pier for a few shots.  It was a beautiful sunny morning and so was super nice to just hang out and catch the boys having fun being themselves.  I love that Kim and Jason, are super stylish and everyone always looks great; not in an obvious way, but in the way that looks effortlessly chic.  Everyone is coordinated and looking cool which translates well in the photographs.  I cannot wait to photograph this family next year and see how much the boys have grown and changed!  Thanks for picking me as your photographer 🙂  So grateful!!

Sebs loves being in front of the camera; I am not sure if it is because I’m a photographer or despite it…..

Today he brought his friends into the fun and they, well let’s say that they are too cool for school 😉
