West Vancouver Photographer

I think I have the best job in the world..I am a professional photographer. I get to generally make my own schedule, I meet amazing people and create and capture their memories, I love what I do and it all takes place in this gorgeous piece of earth that we live in.  I never lose sight of this and feel gratitude for it daily but sometime I make an image that really, really has all that in it.  It has my love of my job, my creativeness, the beauty of BC and a little magic.  This particular image is even more special to me because it is of my daughter and her best little buddy.  It captured them in a moment of pure bliss, a moment where their little 5 year old minds could barely absorb the beauty around them and it captures them being them.  Life unscripted.  I like to shoot like this anyways, but this was totally them.  Sticking their feet in the cold river, splashing and playing and being silly, forgetting that I am watching them with my camera and just enjoying themselves.  I think these moments are so rare and even more rare is to have an image that we can hold and look back on and think, that was a wonderful day.  I will be printing this picture for both of them and I will hang it on my little girl’s wall so she can see the magic in her and all around her everyday.  I am seriously grateful that I can give her this and to other families too.  Thank you to all my wonderful clients who trust me to capture their magic.

Family pictures at Jericho Beach

When this lovely family told me that they were married at Brock House at Jericho beach and wanted to do their family pictures there this year, I was super excited.  I have shot weddings at Brock House and love it for the natural beauty of the surroundings; I knew it would be a great setting for family pictures too.  The beach there is generally pretty quiet and the views of the city and yacht club are unparalleled.   Shooting there with families and kids is easy – let the kids do their thing and there are sure to be smiles.  Who doesn’t enjoy a gorgeous sunny day at the beach; getting splashed by waves and wading in to your knees?!  These three little dudes loved playing with their parents and running around being little boys 🙂  The oldest boy was ready right away to play and enjoy the beach and  was great about encouraging his younger twin brothers to join him – I bet he is the ring leader at home 😉  Checkout this gorgeous family and the beautiful scenery of Jericho beach in Vancouver.  Thinking of family pictures – this is a perfect place to capture your family.

I was so excited to shoot this little family and when you see them, you’ll get it 🙂  The boys are all blondies and adorable and Mom & Dad aren’t too bad themselves 😉  We decided to meet at one of my favourite locations in West Vancouver, Ambleside Beach.  It is such a great spot, you get the beach, tall grass, old wood fences and a local landmark in the background…..Lions Gate bridge.  It also works for boys who like to run around and play…..who wants to  pose for pictures anyways 😉  All three boys were super sweet, full of mischief and smiles – perfect combo!  I really enjoyed photographing these guys – never a dull moment and lots of great images!  Win win!!  I’m pretty sure we covered all of the beach as we ran and played and took pictures and those boys were still going strong at the end 🙂  So awesome!  Another sweet thing is their eyes….beware girls in 20 years…these boys have got killer eyes…all sparkly and cheeky.  You can see in each picture of them, the light that catches in their faces and eyes – super special, not to mention their great smiles.  Makes a photographer happy 🙂  Obviously I enjoyed this session and the fun we had that morning.

Thanks for checking out the images.

Baby photographer – Madeline

Vancouver Baby Photographer

I met little baby Madeline last week and fell in love with her right away.  She was a bit older then the newborns I usually photograph, almost a month old and just had the best expressions.  So so sweet.  Madeline even smiled at her Mama while I was there – between yawns of course 🙂  Obviously both Mom and Dad are already so smitten and I think Dad is totally wrapped around her little finger….The only family member who may not be so keen is their dog…poor guy – but I’m sure he’ll come around once she starts dropping food off her high chair 😉

I really enjoyed this session….it was really neat capturing all her little expressions and personality.  She is going to be a heartbreaker for sure – check out those eyes!
