Capturing Ben's First Birthday | Cake Smash | Tsawwassen Family Photographer

Baby Ben's first birthday was a special milestone and his family wanted to capture this moment with a photography session. Luckily for them, I'm a Tsawwassen-based family photographer who specializes in capturing these precious moments!

We started off the session with portraiture shots of Baby Ben on his own, then moved onto bringing in the rest of the family for some beautiful group shots. He was all smiles during our time together and everyone had such a great time!

To end off our wonderful session, we did an adorable cake smash that absolutely melted my heart. Even though he had never experienced one before, Baby Ben took to it so naturally - it seemed like he'd done it many times before! It was so much fun to watch him enjoy his first birthday cake and celebrate with everyone present.

The photography session of Baby Ben on his first birthday was truly a special one - I'm so honored that I had the privilege of capturing this moment for him and his family! It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do, and why being a family photographer in Tsawwassen is such an amazing job.

I'm sure Baby Ben will always look back at these photos fondly when he gets older - they'll be reminders of how loved he has been from the very beginning!

First Birthday Cake Smash & Portrait Session | Tsawwassen Baby Photographer

My photography studio in Tsawwassen is the perfect spot for a first birthday portrait session for your little one. The natural light studio in my home is simplistic, allowing you to focus on what’s really important, your beautiful baby! My goal is to capture your littles in a timeless way. Creating portraits that you’ll print for your walls for years to come. The outfits provided are sourced from the best baby clothing companies from around the world.

All of the cake smash sessions come with a white custom cake and stand allowing it a stress free experience for mom and a cake I know will photograph beautifully.

The session time is 45 minutes and 2 outfit changes. The first half an hour we will take portraits of your baby with simple props I provide (and you get to choose). The last 15 minutes of the session is the cake smash.

I encourage printing of the portraits to be on fine art paper for a timeless look.

GUIDON FAMILY PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN, BC

I’ve called Tsawwassen my home since I was 4 years old when my family moved here from Toronto. I spent my youth exploring ever inch of the neighbourhoods beaches, trails and forests. When I became a Tsawwassen family photographer, I thought I knew ever single photoshoot ‘secret spot’. That was however, I connected with another local Delta photographer on Facebook. She had the most beautiful work and stunning images of children playing on what looked like a river bank. Something you’d find down south in North Carolina or Florida. I met up with the other local photographer for a coffee at Petra’s. She had been in the photography game for a long while and now that her own children were grown, she was planning on getting out of the family photography business and move into commercial and big production photography. so bless her, she told me of he secret shoot location in Tsawwassen!

I couldn’t wait to test the location out for myself. When my dear friend Nicole, who I spent my early 20s working at Earls on Robson street with, families photoshoot was nearing, I suggested we tried this new location. Nicole and her beautiful family arrived looking as stunning as always. The last time I photographed Nicole she was 8 month pregnant with her second daughter, so it was amazing to see them as a family of 4.

The new shooting location was nothing short of amazing. The Guidon family was so loving and easy to work with. Older sister was so happy to be infront of the camera and play with mom and dad, while little sister wanted to hug onto momma - which made for beautiful photos. I’m capturing this time in your lives after all.

The highlight of the shoot was walking out onto the glassy tide flats at the end of the session. The sun was glowing the most beautiful golden hue onto the water. Some colors I’ve never photographed before. And as we were walking out, we had eagles soaring all around us. I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, we are SO lucky to live here!

Thank you to the Guindon family for coming and meeting up with me and testing out this new shoot location :) I love seeing you guys and love seeing your beautiful family all together.

Another HUGE thank you to Rebekka Logan for taking the time to sit with me over coffee and let me in on one of your favourite shoot locations. You’re so talented and I thank you!

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 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.
