Chilliwack Maternity Photographer | Chilliwack, BC

Sunset maternity sessions are my absolute favourite. After needing to reschedule a few times due to rain and freezing temperatures we finally hit the jackpot evening to capture this gorgeous golden evening maternity session.

As your due date approaches, it is so important to capture those special moments before your baby arrives. I only have one, yes one photo, of my pregnancy with my oldest, and while at the time I was like I sooo do not want to remember this, I totally regret it, still… 24 years later!

The best time to schedule your maternity session is generally between 28-35 weeks depending on how big you want your belly to be for photos, I will always schedule you in regardless of how far or close you are to your date, it is totally up to you!

I have so many locations that would make beautiful backdrops to capture this exciting time for you, so reach out and let’s get something on the books.

Abbotsford Newborn Session | At Home Documentary Newborn Photos

Fresh baby sessions normally occur within the first couple of weeks after the birth of your sweet baby, but really the joy of this session is we can do it whenever works best for you and your family. These sessions are documentary in nature and are done at a relaxed pace, you being you, in the comforts of your own home.

~Where ever you are is perfect.~

Everything goes in these types of sessions, all I ask of you is to be in the moment, be vulnerable, and lets capture those first few moments of your new life as parents to your newest addition.

Kaitlin and Nick I loved having the opportunity to capture the little details of your sweet boy that you will hold on to forever.

My newborn sessions are about 2 hours long, so there is plenty of time, for babe and you to feel comfortable. My at home sessions lean towards the documentary approach so having some activities planned out such as bath time, story time, going for a walk, diaper changes and of course feeding your baby are all super sweet memories to have of this special time.

Don’t wait for another sweet moment to go by. Lets tell your story, the story of you and your growing family. Contact me to find out what a session for your family would look like.

An At Home Newborn Session in Coquitlam, BC

I was present at sweet Henry’s birth so it was so amazing to come back a few days later to see just how truly in love his parents are with him.

Maternity session in Anmore, BC

I met Chrystal and Mike in August 2019 at a wedding that I was photographing when Chrystal was only a few weeks pregnant. She was so excited for the birth of their first baby and wanted to do maternity photos at a location that had amazing views. Fast forward to late Fall after wedding season was over and we met up at Buntzen Lake in beautiful Anmore, BC.

It was a beautiful but freezing cold day and Chrystal powered through our whole session despite being cold. Good thing I had my trusty hot pockets to give her to warm her hands between poses! Thanks for being such a trooper and braving the cold with me.

As it was my first time going to Buntzen Lake I didn’t know that there was no cel service!  So if you do head out there exploring make sure you know this going in… it was quite the adventure trying to find my way back to the highway after our session without my trusty google maps!

Wishing you both all the best and I can’t wait to me your sweet baby!

At an In-Home Newborn Session

Can we just talk about how much I adore In Home Fresh 48 Newborn sessions? Having a baby is exhausting and honestly the thought of leaving my house to do newborn photos was the last thing on my mind when I had my babies. I so wish I had known that I could have had a photographer come to my home and capture this new phase in our lives and be totally stress free. That’s the amazing thing about newborn sessions in your home- it is, how it is. The newborn phase is a blur- no matter how you look at it- it truly passes so quickly; as do the memories. Let’s take those raw moments of this time in your life and preserve them into something tangible, that can be held onto for a lifetime. A documentary newborn photo session is always extra special for me as I love capturing siblings and their reactions to the newest family member in the house. I adore all children and always go out of my way to ensure that even the older siblings feel a part of your in home newborn session as its just as much their story as it is babies. And while baby sleeps I always make sure to capture the love and connection between the couple, as your love deserves to be captured and preserved as well.

I spent a beautiful Saturday morning photographing this adorable family of four in their Chilliwack home, a few days after sweet Iris’ birth, and it was nothing short of wonderful. Tanya forewarned me that Big Sister Everly could sometimes be shy and apprehensive with new people but within a few minutes we were fast friends and giggled through much of our time together.  She even tried to take over the with Daddy’s go pro!

I am so honoured that Tanya and Josh put their trust in me to capture these fleeting moments with their young girls as they transition from a family of 3 to a family of 4.

Chilliwack Maternity Photographer | A Pacific Northwest Maternity Session with Anthea + Brad

I met Anthea and Brad in Chilliwack, BC on a typical PNW early summer evening  to photograph their maternity pictures. This is was such a special time to be able to capture them together before they became parents for the first time.    It was a week before their sweet baby was due and Anthea and Brad were so excited to become parents.  Brad having grown up in Chilliwack was able to speak at ease with me about all our favourite local spots for summer fun and swore each other to secrecy upon sharing locations.  Anthea and Brad were amazing and up for anything... including climbing boulders and tackling spider webs in the forest and wading in the ice cold river.  As we finished up our session I asked them if they were up for one more location so we could get some gorgeous couple maternity silhouettes.  As we rolled up to my spot, they shared with me that they use to live just a few blocks from this location and often walked this trail, it was pure magic and had so much meaning to them.  The evening was amazing and the weather played nice and didn't let loose the rain from those ominous storm clouds till we were driving off.  Thanks so much for being so much fun and congrats again on your beautiful baby boy.
