Baby Jack Newborn Photos | Tsawwassen Newborn Photos | South Delta Newborn Photography

The only thing that beats taking newborn photos is when the client you’re taking photos for is an old friend. I met Jeremy at South Delta secondary school and now it’s so cool we are both back in Tsawwassen raising our kids together.

I went over to new parents, Hayley and Jeremys beautiful new home. It was the weeks following the birth of their first baby Jack and my first time meeting him. He was such a doll with his perfect baby chubs and beautiful skin tone. We spent the next couple hours cuddling, hanging out and loving on baby jack..while I sat back and took photos of it all.

Jer + Hayley, you too are the sweetest parents and I love seeing you as a family of three :) Thank you SO much for inviting me into your home to capture these first couple weeks as you transition into parenthood.

At Home Newborn Photos | Ladner, BC | Community Photography

One of the best parts of being a part of a small community is that I get to build relationships with my clients that go beyond just the photoshoot. I was so happy to get to know Pilar and her family during their newborn shoot. I have since been doing her fitness classes (Pilarfit) and they are so great!

 

Even though she said she was nervous to be in front of the camera, Pilar was a totally natural and really put her family at ease during the shoot. She had the ability to like create such candid genuine moments between her and her family. Her two older boys were so lovely, took directions beautifully and were so gentle with their new baby sister. It was such a treat to photograph.

 

We did these photos when Freya was six weeks old which is a little bit older that I typically shoot newborn sessions. I actually really enjoyed it because she was so smiley which you don’t get with the really teeny tiny newborns. She was just so sweet in front of the camera.

 

At the very end of the photo session they wanted to bring a little bit more of their personality into the photo so they all changed into camo for a couple quick pictures which I think is awesome!  I think it's great when people want to bring their own style and create photos that are a true representation of they family!

 

Thanks so much for including me in your beautiful family photos Pilar! I’m looking forward to you kicking my butt in a workout this week!

Tsawwassen Newborn Photos with the Findlay Family

Lifestyle newborn sessions are my favourite! My goal is to capture all the snuggles, love and soft moments shared between a family in the first couple of weeks after baby comes home from the hospital. I had a perfect Saturday morning with the Findlay family after their beautiful baby girl Emery (LOVE this baby name!) came into the world!

I loved this session for so many reasons. First, Mom Kayla - Ann was amazing at preparing all the small details for the session that make such a BIG difference in photos. She had her hair and makeup done before the session, she brought two outfits, one casual and one a little more dressed up with added an amazing variety to their photo gallery and had a few different pattered swaddles that brought in amazing accent colors. Second, the dynamics between Mom and Dad was amazing! Both so photogenic and the way they moved together I really didn’t need to give much direction. They were both so relaxed infront of the camera and with each other. Lastly, baby Emerey was a DREAM baby to photograph! She slept for most of the session and when she was awake was not fussy, just wanting to be cuddled by mom and dad.

Mom and Dad looked happy, at ease and in love. Grandma arrived at the end of the photo session for some beautiful moment with her grand daughter and daughter.. I loved capturing the three generations all together.

Thank you to the Findlay family for allowing me to capture these special moments for you. I love shooting with you guys and look forward to doing it again this summer!

Welcome Baby Vivienne | Tsawwassen Newborn Photos | Community Photography South Delta

Local mom , Carmen, and I share a love for some of the same things...supporting local and small shop shopping, more specifically, Buttercups Children’s Boutique in Ladner! We connected for her newborn photos through owner Jessica of Buttercups after I'd taken her at-home newborn photos. 

I showed up to Carmen's house in Tsawwassen for her newborn photos. I can't say they were actually newborn photos; baby Vivienne was born during the Covid lockdown and so she was actually a couple months old by the time the photos were taken. Two months may be my new favourite age for baby pics though because you get beautiful pictures of babies eyes focusing on camera and some smiles…or maybe it was just baby Vivienne, she was just the sweetest to take photos of. Combo her with her big brother and it was a cuteness overload :) 

There are so many reasons why I loved taking photos for Carmen and her family:

1.) OMG her SON Sawyer! The worlds cutest 18 month old with a big personality and a love for his little sister. Just look at the pictures and of his rolls and his OUTFIT!

2.) Carmen and baby V were a dream to photograph! Both so photogenic and comfortable in front of the camera and it was amazing to see baby V follow suit of her momma and together they just played off their love for each other!

3.) Dad went with the flow and was game for everything! Nothing phased him, with a big smile on his face he just enjoyed this time spent snuggling with his family while taking pics.

It was such a pleasure to work with this lovely family at their home for baby V's at home newborn photos in Tsawwassen. I look forward to our family session together!

Miller Newborn Photos | Lifestyle Newborn Photos

I’ve been a photographer almost 4 years now. My style has grown and I've adapted and love my job more and more every day. But the thing I love the most about being in business this long is photographing the same family more than once! I love to see a family growing in numbers and capturing milestone moments for them. Seriously, there is nothing better!

I first took photos for the Miller family after the arrival of their first daughter two years ago. So it was an absolute pleasure when they reached out to me to take at home newborn photos when their second daughter came into this world.

This was my first newborn photoshoot since the COVID-19 quarentine had ended. I was SO excited to be back doing newborn sessions again. I wore a face mask and had in my mind the whole time to keep a safe physical distance. When I walked into the Miller home, I was amazed to see how much older sister A had grown! She was a complete sweetheart and gentle with her new baby sister. Their baby was a little replica of big sister (genetics never sease to amaze me!). Baby A was the sleepiest little bundle of joy with the most amazing thick black hair. Both Mom and Dad were so welcoming and at ease with now being a family of four; it made my job a complete breeze. I loved their outfit choices, especially how it tied into their home decor. Just a side note - when choosing outfits for a newborn or family photo shoot, make them match your home decor. My wish is that you will have these photos printed and hung on your walls as art so it’s a good idea if they coordinate!

Thank you to the Miller family for welcoming me back into your home to take newborn photos for you. Your welcoming and kind manner makes my job fun, relaxed and reminds me of why I love this job - to connect with amazing people like you! You totally are nailing this family of four thing and hopefully I’ll see you around town one of these days.

Welcome Baby Ace | Tsawwassen Newborn Photos

When walking into the home of a new client, you never really know what to expect. The layout, the light, the colours. And what about the family, are they open-hearted, high energy, nervous, a bit of everything?

Turns out this photo session had all the good things; beautiful light, a gorgeous family, lots of love, and the perfect amount of energy from the two little ladies :) You could tell the family was all in shock that they had welcomed a baby BOY into the mix. With two big sisters and not finding out the gender of the baby, it was a big surprise to everyone!

Mom Kristin is a birthing queen. A trained doula herself, she had an all natural birth at home. Well done momma, well done :)

Lifestyle photography is about telling your story, capturing your connections, full of heart and honesty. The chaos, the mess and the love that holds it all together.

Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, words can’t describe how much I enjoyed this session.

Welcome Baby Stevie | Tsawwassen Newborn Photographer | Community Photography South Delta

Preparing to welcome a baby into the world, especially your first, is an absolutely amazing time of life. There are so many milestones - 12 weeks, 20 weeks (and every week thereafter!) new nursery, new clothes , new sounds and new smells (not always good ones!), and of course new little fingers, new little toes and a new little heart to love. It goes so fast and so slow all at once, which is why I LOVE to help you remember those blurry first days/weeks/months for years to come.

I recently got to help my bestie document her journey from bump to baby and it was pure bliss. Knowing good friends for over 20 years is a blessing and to see them transition into motherhood is such a beautiful thing!

Jess and Geordie, congratulations on your family of FOUR! Love you guys long time, I’m so excited to raise our babes together :)

Welcome Baby E! | Newborn Photos | Community Photography South Delta

Word of mouth is everything! I’m so thankful when my amazing clients share their photos on social media, it opens the door to their network, which generally, is other, awesome people. That means they too, will be another amazing client I will LOVE working with.

This was the case with momma M. She saw my photos online and when she reached out to me, she was warm and welcoming . She has a big love of life, travel, her husband, two dogs AND her baby on the way. She and her husband, in week one of having a newborn, had the team dynamics down. It was such a fun loving session, including both of their gorgeous Australian Shepards who join us for our session.

To M + A family, thank you for inviting me into your home at such a special time in your life. I really hope we can do it again down the road :) I’m envisioning your family + dogs and a beautiful sunset!

Welcome Baby Emmie | Newborn Photos | Community Photography South Delta

I first met the Camire family at Centennial Beach for their maternity photos in Tsawwassen a few months back. The day at the beach was sunny but windy, bringing in a cold ocean breeze. Sweet little Isla was such a trooper for their cold and windy photo session. So when I went to the Camire’s house for their newborn photos, I knew Isla must remember me as the lady who made her play at the beach when it was FREEZING! And when I saw her at their house on a sunny and hot May afternoon, I said to her, ‘Hi Isla! Do you remember me?! We took photos at the beach together!’ all she said back was ‘it was cold’. LOL!

I thought I would have to regain her trust and take some time with her to warm up in front of the camera. I was totally wrong! On a scale of 1-10 how well behaved little Isla is, she was a 12. She loved cuddling her new baby sister Emmie and was so proud when it was her turn to hold her. Isla absolutely shone at the end of the session when we had a family dance party in the living room. This is the way I like to end most of my newborn sessions (if there are young siblings), as it brings the energy back up and creates beautiful genuine moments.

The Camire family, you guys are such a pleasure to spend time with! Thank you for inviting me into your home to take your newborn photos :) It was such an enjoyable afternoon and I look forward to the next time we can take photos together. Congratulations on baby #2, you guys are totally rocking the two kid thing :)

Welcome Baby Monroe | Newborn Photos | Community Photography South Delta

If you’d like to see the most gorgeous at home newborn photos, scroll down!

Congratulations to the Bird family on welcoming baby #3 into their family! This sweet newborn, is baby Monroe (just LOVE that name). She was a dream to photograph (I don’t even think she woke up at any point during our photo shoot!) She was SO chill and just did what a third child does, went with the flow.

As a newborn photographer, I LOVE the dynamics when a third child is added in the mix. I’m not sure what it is, but it totally makes the family look complete. Speaking of complete, can we just take a moment to applaud Mom Nikki on her absolutely amazing job on color coordinating her troops!! Even the swaddle choice totally completes the package. Well done girl!

The Tsawwassen newborn session, was a quick and easy experience. I always allow up to three hours in case a kid needs a snack, diaper change or a cuddle. I think this may have been a record 1.5 hours and it was a wrap! Both older siblings were a 10/10 in behaviour and LOVED to cuddle their new little sister. Daddy Bird was just like baby Monroe and went with the flow of the shoot :) You can see three babies in, mom + dad were a super team, and you can tell from the pictures, really in love.

Thanks to the Bird family for spending the afternoon with me allowing me to capture your expanding family. It was truly a pleasure! You guys are just nailing the three kid thing, you may even trick the rest of us into the having another baby because you make it look so enjoyable!

When my son Tom was born, it took about 6 weeks until I realized he was mine. To keep. Forever! I know this sounds so strange, and your probably thinking ‘yeah girl, that’s why you have kids, to raise them!’. I just found being a new mom, the love you experience with your baby is a new love, one you have never experienced before. The love is so intense I found it hard to get my head around. You just created this tiny human, you love it SO much, and the best part is, it’s yours to love forever!

When I was photographing first time mom Kritika, I could tell she was experiencing these same emotions that I was experiencing with Tom. The loving way she looked at her baby girl, and she even said a few times in our shoot ‘I just can’t believe I get to keep her’.

The only way I can describe our newborn shoot together was dreamy. We had a dream baby to photograph, she slept the most of the newborn photo session and when she was awake, she would look around the room with her big beautiful brown eyes. Kritika was such a cool mom. She allowed me to try my new baby wrapping techniques on her daughter (which turned out super adorable by the way), and was so photographic and natural in front of the camera it made my job so easy. They family cuddled, loved and enjoyed their time together for our 2 hour photo shoot.

I also had the pleasure of working with Elisha Sander of Haymaker makeup. She arrived at the house 45 minutes before the photoshoot with her mobile studio. Having a professional makeup artist makes for such beautiful photographs, and the big bonus, you can cuddle your sweet newborn as you get pampered! I’ve included some of the getting ready photos, so you can check them out below!



Welcome Baby Levi | Calgary Newborn Photos | Community Photography South Delta

I’ve known Janelle and Steve as a couple for a long time. 8 years to be exact. They both love hiking, the outdoors, travelling, music, they both LOVE life and making the most of every day.

They moved to Calgary about a year ago. The last time I had seen them was over the Christmas holidays when they came to Tsawwassen so we could take their Centennial Beach maternity photos. When I gave them a hug goodbye at the end of the weekend, I knew the next time I would see them, they would be parents.

Baby Levi was born in January. I booked my flight for the end of February to Calgary so I could meet her and take her newborn photos. When I arrived in Calgary it was -17’C (that was a high, it went down to -25’C at night). Janelle pulled up at the airport with baby Levi in the back seat. I got in the car (I rode in the back, with Levi, of course) and saw this little human I had only met over Facetime. She was a perfect mix of both her parents.

I spent the weekend with Janelle, Steve and Levi. Its the coolest thing to see friends, who I’ve known for years, take on their next adventure of being parents. The new love for this little human was extreme. If you couldn’t tell they loved the child by the way they interacted with her, you would know it by Janelle telling Levi she loved her a few times in one hour. I’ll also have to give poppa props to Steve. This guy is breaking the barriers of a hands on dad. Bottle feeding, changing diapers, rocking her, he even took her for a couple hours while us went for a local dinner.

Janelle and Steve, thanks for letting me take these photos of Levi. I loved capturing this time in your lives. She is a doll and I can’t wait for our kids to grow up together. Hopefully they’ll be a little less wild than we were but I hope they live life as full as we did/do! Love you guys and can’t wait to see you!

WELCOME BABY MARLOWE | AT HOME NEWBORN PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN | COMMUNITYPHOTOGRAPHY SOUTH DELTA

The cutest baby with the cutest name! MARLOWE! Love love love! I feel like I got lucky to be able to capture newborn photos for another DREAM baby in Tsawwassen. As a South Delta photographer I love connecting with families as they welcome a new family member home.

BABY ISLA NEWBORN PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN | COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SOUTH DELTA

DREAM BABY ALERT!!! It was SUCH a pleasure taking newborn photos for the Sherry’s as they welcomed the newest member of their family baby Isla to their tribe. The family recently moved to South Surrey so as a Tsawwassen photographer it was a nice commute to meet up with this family in their new home.

At home newborn photos are oh so special. I love taking photos of families in their natural environment cuddling, loving and making memories together.

WELCOME BABY MICHAEL | NEWBORN PHOTOS | SOUTH DELTA PHOTOGRAPHER

As a South Delta photographer I LOVE taking photos of newborns. What I love even more is when an expectant mom books her maternity session with me and a newborn session. When I take maternity photos in Tsawwassen it allows me to connect with the mom so when the newborn shoot rolls around you already have a common ground. It is SO cool to see the transition from pregnancy to motherhood, and in Olena's case a second time Momma.

The nursery of this photoshoot was my DREAM nursery to take photos in. Minimalistic, pure, white with beautiful pops of color. Big bro George did splendid and we tired  him right out, he fell asleep mid shoot :) That is what I love about at home newborn photos, you go with the flow :)

WELCOME BABY CHARLIE | AT HOME NEWBORN SESSION | COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY TSAWWASSEN

I am the luckiest photographer around that I can spend my days with sweet Moms and adorable babies. Photographing babies is so special. My sweet baby girl is already 4 months old and when I photograph a 2 week old baby it really makes me realize how fast they grow.
