Langley Prom Photographer | Pitt Lake Prom and Graduation Photos | Kyla & Family

graduates it’s prom season!

Make sure to get in touch soon as my 2023 Prom calendar is booking up fast!

Prom photos are important because they capture a significant moment in your life and provide a tangible memory of this special occasion- it is an opportunity to celebrate you, your accomplishments and just how amazing you look on your special day!

Bonus it just may replace that awkward childhood photo your parents and grandparents have on their walls!

I met up with Kyla and her family at Pitt Lake a couple of weeks before her actual prom day. This gave her family an opportunity to relish in her amazing accomplishments and celebrate her. We took photos together as a family, including her grandparents and then some with just Kyla. Then her dad, who was her soccer coach throughout her childhood, insisted on some soccer photos. This amazing girl whipped off her heals and started volleying the ball back and forth with her dad like there was nothing to it! That was a first for me but I am so glad I was able to capture that special moment for them.

I love incorporating items that capture a student's personality and interests. I am always open to you choosing a hobby, sport, or other activity to include in your prom and graduation photos, this is such an amazing way to showcase who you are and what you have accomplished during your high school years. I have captured many things to date but most memorable was a wakeboarding session in a graduation gown and hiking to a waterfall to play violin in a prom dress!

FAMILY IS NOT AN IMPORTANT THING.

IT’S EVERYTHING. - Michael J. Fox

Truer words could not be spoken, thanks Michael. Really though, when was the last time you had photos done with your parents? With your siblings? With your kids cousins? I wish I had this but with my entire family outside of my parents all living overseas it makes it next to impossible, you know cause of Covid-19 and all. So thankful I saw my big brother in January before this all hit.

 This extended family is also an International family coming all the way from South Africa to visit and I am am so glad that they were able to coordinate lives and schedules to spend some time with me capturing their love for each other. Grandpa and Grandma and Pepper too, are going to be thrilled to hang these photos up around their home. The Vedder River in Chilliwack is one of my most favourite areas to do family sessions, especially extended family photos- the mountains, the raging river, the greenery, its all just so beautiful!
