vanier park family photographer // pretty in pink

Amy and her beautiful daughter Averi (I love that name!) were such a joy to photograph.  It was a soft, overcast summer day and they were both wearing pink & the light was gentle and beautiful as we wandered around the beach at Vanier Park.

Vancouver engagement photographer // you can bring me flowers

in ,

I was excited when I received an email from Sara, because she does what I always wanted to do when I grew up: she's a florist.  It was very exciting to meet a real live florist.

It was also very exciting that her engagement session would involve flowers, flowers and flowers!  And old books.  And their love story of Canadian boy meets Australian girl and falls in love.  (A tale as old as time, and one that gets awesomer each time I hear it.)

Sara & Ryan knew the perfect location for their engagement session: an archway of trees at Stanley Park that they'd often walked through.  The morning was overcast and their outfits were amazing (seriously - I want her closet!) , and they brought along an afghan blanket made by Ryan's grandmother (how awesome is that?!) and the world was beautiful and so were they.

Congratulations again, Sara & Ryan!

vancouver love story photographer // august evening

in ,

Claire & Mirek were so sweet.  Holding hands and smiling secret smiles at each other,  with a glow that turned on like a light switch whenever they were together; it was so much fun to photograph their love! 

We ventured to the farthest part of Spanish Banks, past all the August crowds, and there they ran through tall grasses, danced, and lit a candle by the water when the sun went down.  They were beautiful.

 

 

richmond maternity photographer // light & love

in ,

I love maternity sessions, especially when there is already an older brother or sister waiting to love on the new little baby.  On this day, the misty almost-sunlight at Garry Point Park filled us up with joy & light and love & flowers.
