Vancouver Baby Portraits – Hope

Laura — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:08:05 +0000

It was a beautiful snowy day when little Hope came in for her portrait session, and she was just brave enough to do a few photos in the cold outdoors too! Hope has two of my most favourite baby traits – red hair, and dimples – super adorable! Mom Nikki is the sister of my dear friend Danielle, so it was nice to see them both again and get introduced to the new addition. Sweet baby Hope was so good for the whole session – I didn’t have to do anything and she’d smile and laugh – delightful! Thanks to Nikki and Danielle for bringing in Hope for her first professional photos!

Vancouver Baby Portraits – Olivia

Laura — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 06:29:51 +0000

I love following my clients through their various life stages, so I was thrilled when past wedding couple Heidi and David asked me to photograph their beautiful little girl! Olivia was an adorable little model, with her many expressions and big eyes. Although there were some “accidents” during her naked shots, she still managed to keep her happy and sweet demeanor throughout her first photo shoot. Thanks to David and Heidi for having me photograph lovely Olivia – looking forward to following you with my camera as your family grows!

Vancouver Baby Portraits – Dhanya

Laura — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 00:30:44 +0000

I love it when past clients come back, so I was excited when past wedding clients Sharon and Andrew contacted me to photograph their beautiful baby girl, Dhanya. I headed out to Sharon and Andrew’s gorgeous home to photograph their little girl, where Andrew presented a very unusual prop – a giant clam shell from the South Pacific! He wanted to have Dhanya photographed in it, which I thought was a great idea – only one problem – the shell had been out on the patio and was freezing from the winter weather. Andrew soon had dueling hairdryers going on the shell and in no time it was warmed up to create the perfect baby bed. Thanks so much to Sharon and Andrew for having me photograph your adorable little Dhanya!

Daniel and Alexander – Baby Twins Portrait Session

Laura — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:28:28 +0000

Daniel and Alexander were born to a very special couple, Stephanie and Michael, for whom I had the honour of photographing their beautiful wedding. I was so excited to hear they were expecting, and even more excited when they asked me to take photos of not just one baby, but two – twins, how awesome! Knowing that Stephanie and Michael are two of the biggest Canucks fans out there, it was no surprise when they named the boys after two of their favourite hockey players! Photographing two babies instead of the usual one I’m used to presented some challenges, and also some wonderful creative possibilities – and of course, a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Henry’s Vancouver Baby Photo Session

Laura — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:15:28 +0000

When I got the email from Janet and Karsten asking me to photograph their soon-to-be baby boy, I was super-excited for two reasons – to meet their new addition, and to see them again after photographing their beautiful 2009 wedding. Janet and Karsten are a sweet couple, and it turns out that little Henry was just like his parents! He co-operated with all our photo ideas and was a real trooper through multiple outfit changes, sleeping in a wooden bowl, and even being posed with the family dog! Thanks to Janet and Karsten for having me over to do a baby photo session with Henry – he’s a really lovely little man!

Micah’s Vancouver Baby Photo Session

Laura — Wed, 19 May 2010 00:02:52 +0000

Little Micah made his big debut into the world just a few short weeks ago, so it was the perfect time to document this stage of his life with a baby photo session. Newborns are so fun to shoot, because they are relatively immobile and you can basically mold them into the perfect pose! Micah was an excellent model in this respect, and Mom Tara, Dad Joey, and big sister Amara joined in for some of the photos. Tara is the makeup artist extraordinaire that works with me at all my Boudoir Marathons, and it was wonderful to photograph her beautiful family!

Kadyn’s Baby Session

Laura — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:41:54 +0000

Little Kadyn made his big entrance into the world back in October, and I was delighted to photograph him within his first few months of life. Mom Reina also had me do her maternity photos, back when Kadyn was still a bun in the oven. Now that he’s out and about, Dad Andrew and big sister Kaya are enjoying the new family addition too. Kadyn was such a joy to photograph – he had so many different expressions for a little guy his age, and what was especially cute was capturing him in a traditional baby past time – sucking his thumb! Thanks again to Reina and family for having me photograph your beautiful little boy!

Anjali – Child Portrait Session

Laura — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:57:06 +0000

Beautiful little Anjali was the perfect subject for a photo shoot – just look at those amazing big brown eyes! Anjali is not quite two yet, and though that age can be notoriously tricky to work with, I have to say Anjali was a dream. All she wanted to do was run around the park, cuddle her stuffed animals, and munch on the occasional Cheerio – this is how I love to photograph children – letting them do what kids do and thus capturing their true nature. This portrait session was made extra-special in that Anjali’s parents are Ian and Jocelyn, whose wedding we photographed back in 2006. It was so great to see them again, and to meet the new addition to their family. I love that sense of continuity that comes with my job – photographing people at one life-stage, then following them through to the next one, and so on – truly rewarding! Thanks to Ian, Jocelyn, and Anjali – I had a wonderful time with all of you!

Baby Rachel – Newborn Photo Session

Laura — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:39:30 +0000

Sweet little Rachel was only a month old when I got to photograph her, and she was amazingly alert! She obviously knew something was going on, and didn’t want to miss out on the action, because she stayed wide awake through almost the entire session. We were honoured to photograph the wedding of her proud parents last year, and we were so excited to hear that they were expecting – and now her she is! Check out that beautiful head of hair too!

Baby Rory – Newborn Photo Session

Laura — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:32:36 +0000

Little Rory was just 9 days old when we did his photo session! Tiny and angelic, he slept through the entire session – he even put up with being molded into different positions and being changed in and out of his little outfits – all with barely making a peep! Proud Mom Liza was doing well (see her maternity session here) and we got her in on some of the photos too (Dad Shaun and big brother Cohen spent the day at the beach, so Rory could have his own private photo session). Liza is a dear friend of mine, and I’m so looking forward to watching little Rory grow up!
