vancouver family photographer / spanish banks family session

in , ,

Okay, so where do I begin?!  This family's level of awesomeness was so great that it was simply not measurable on any scale of awesome.

They met me at Spanish Banks Beach with huge smiles, handshakes, and Italian accents.  And a soccer ball.  And three adorable children.  Oh, and very stylish clothes.  And - last but not least - a sense of adventure!

Cristian & Carmelina (see? even their names are so very Italian!) took everything in stride, from a sandy baby to a water-drenched son.  (Carmelina's response to this last event very much impressed me: she smiled at him, pulled out an entire second outfit from her purse, and sent him back out to play!) 

Talk about wonderful.  They had me laughing the entire session & I can't wait to meet them again in the fall!

 

vancouver newborn photographer / springtime baby

in ,

I had the pleasure of photographing the maternity session for Phoenix & Dennis just a few days before this little girl was born, so it was such a joy to meet her.  She was tiny, and perfect, and completely adorable.  

And she slept for most of the session.  As other newborn photographers can attest, a newborn who sleeps for most of the session will receive our eternal love and goodwill.  Not gonna lie - I was just a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of goodness and cuteness I was able to witness during this session.  (Her parents are pretty awesome too!)

Phoenix & Dennis' home was a natural light photographer's dream, as well: huge floor-to-ceiling windows EVERYWHERE, and so much white.  I felt like I was outdoors!  When I speak to clients who want indoor newborn photography, I can never over-emphasize the importance of windows, and lots of them: they make everything better.  Like these photos.

Here they are!
