A Newborn Photo Session in My Home Studio in Tsawwassen with the Garcha Family

Welcoming a new life into the world is an experience like no other, and capturing those first few precious weeks is something every parent cherishes. Recently, I had the pleasure of welcoming baby Zoey and her loving parents, the Garcha family, into my home studio in Tsawwassen for a magical newborn photo session.

The Warm Welcome

At just two weeks old, baby Zoey was already a little superstar! Her parents arrived at my natural light studio, beaming with joy and love. The bond they shared was palpable, and I felt honored to capture it through my lens. My home studio in Tsawwassen is designed to be cozy and inviting, ensuring both parents and babies feel at ease.

A Peaceful and Joyful Shoot

We spent the next two hours in pure bliss. Baby Zoey graced us with the most beautiful smiles, melting our hearts with every click of the camera. When she wasn't smiling, she was sound asleep, an absolute angel throughout the session. Her serene demeanor allowed us to create some truly stunning shots that I'm sure the Garcha family will treasure forever.

Her parents were equally delightful, engaging in the moment with cuddles, laughter, and tender exchanges that made the session even more special. It’s these intimate moments that photography aims to eternalize, and Zoey's session was filled with them.

Why Choose a Home Studio?

You might wonder, why a home studio? The answer is simple—comfort. Newborns thrive in familiar, warm environments, and my home studio in Tsawwassen offers just that. The natural light flooding in creates soft, ethereal images that highlight the innocence and beauty of newborns. Plus, the relaxed setting helps everyone feel at ease, resulting in more genuine and heartfelt photos.

A Day to Remember

From start to finish, Zoey's newborn photo session was a dream. The Garcha family's love and happiness were evident in every shot, making this session one of my favorites. I'm so grateful to have been a part of capturing these early memories for them.

Are you a new parent looking to capture these fleeting moments with your little one? I'd love to welcome you to my home studio for a personalized and memorable photo session. Let's create beautiful memories together!

A Magical Family Session in Tsawwassen at the Johnston Family Home

There’s something truly magical about capturing family moments in the comfort of their own home, especially when it's as beautiful as the Johnston family's dream abode in Tsawwassen. This session was extra special for me because it featured my sister, niece, nephew, and brother-in-law. Yes, it's a family affair!

The Perfect Setting

Tsawwassen locals, you know how enchanting our community can be, especially around sunset. The golden hour light did wonders, highlighting the Johnston family's stunning new home and their garden in full bloom. We decided to take advantage of this serene time of day, and I must say, the results were nothing short of spectacular.

Why Home Sessions Are Special

While I love the beach (who doesn't?), there's a unique charm to photographing a family in their personal space. It’s where they laugh, love, and create memories daily. Capturing these moments in their natural habitat adds a genuine, heartfelt touch to each photo. Plus, there's no place like home, right?

A Peek into the Johnston Family's World

The Johnston family recently built their dream home, and what better way to celebrate this milestone than by photographing it? Their excitement was palpable, and it translated beautifully into the photos. The kids were in their element, playing in the garden, which was bursting with colors. My sister and her husband relaxed on the porch, sharing stories and laughter. It was as if the house itself was smiling, basking in the joy of its residents.

The Golden Hour Magic

Tsawwassen’s sunsets are legendary, and this session was proof. The sky turned into a canvas of soft pinks and oranges, casting a warm, inviting glow over the Johnston family home. Every snapshot seemed to capture not just an image but an emotion, a fleeting moment turned eternal.

The Final Touches

To all Tsawwassen locals thinking of capturing their family moments, consider a home session. Not only does it make for a comfortable and relaxed environment, but it also allows you to showcase your home—a place where countless memories are made. And if you've just built or renovated your dream home, it's a perfect opportunity to document it in all its glory.

Why You Should Consider a Home Session

• Comfort and Ease: No need to travel or deal with unfamiliar locations.

• Personal Touch: Your home adds a unique and personal background to your photos.

• Natural Interactions: Kids and pets are in their element, resulting in more genuine moments.

• Showcase Your Space: Perfect for those who want to highlight a new or beloved home.

Thanks for joining me on this heartwarming session with the Johnston family. If you're considering a family photo session, think about doing it at home. Trust me, the results are worth it! 💛

Tsawwassen Family Photos | Centennial Beach | Community Photography South Delta

My favourite type of new client is a referral client. It means they have heard a raving review from a friend, family member or colleague, most likely seen my photos and are ready to make the investment in their family portraits. I love my clients so when their friend drops an email to have their family photos taken, I know they will most likely be as lovely and cool as the person who referred them.

This was totally the case with Daria. From the start, she was excited to have her family photos taken and so lovely over email. I had taken her friend's maternity and newborn photos last year and she wanted me to create the same images for her. Her family photo session took place a couple weeks after the Covid - 19 restrictions began lifting; the session was booked back in January so I was so happy we were able to finally go ahead with her session!

When I met with her family, I asked them if they would be okay walking a block because there was a gorgeous patch of wildflowers that I knew would photograph beautifully. And I’m so thankful we did! You’d never guess we were in a small ally that led to the beach. It looks like we are in a meadow far away from everything! The dynamic of this family of three was everything. The more time we spent shooting the more fun everyone was having. We nailed so many beautiful locations during this shoot making their gallery diverse and stunning. I loved the dynamics between both mother and daughter and husband and wife, making so many beautiful special moments.

Dear Daria and family, thank you for making the drive to Tsawwassen for your family photos. It was a true pleasure meeting you and taking your photos on this summer evening. I hope we can do it again soon :)

Wells Family Photos | Centennial Beach, Tsawwassen

We had the Wells family photo shoot originally scheduled in Tsawwassen for March 21st. Due to a world pandemic, it was postponed. That feels like such a crazy sentence to write and I sometimes need to pinch myself that the past 3 months actually happened! It was a dark time for me and my business as Covid-19 hit the news, every one of my bookings was cancelled or postponed. At the time, I had no idea if the shoots would be postponed a couple weeks, a month or a year? Even when restrictions started to ease, would people want to book a family photoshoot with me? And thankfully the answer is yes! I think after being on lockdown for three months, people have seen the importance of their family unit and are ready to capture memories on camera. Also, Moms are now looking for an excuse to do their hair and put on mascara :)

I was so thankful when mom Lyndsay reached out to me and told me she was ready to have their family photos taken. We met up in Boundary Bay for their photos on a perfect May evening. The 'perfect May evening' was not in the forecast. I'm not sure if anyone else is noticing this but the Weather Network's predictions are just bananas these days! Changing constantly, always calling for rain and every single network is contradicting one other! I had been checking the weather constantly for the past 24 hours trying to see if we should cancel our shoot because of rain or move the time to make sure we have enough light (if you've shot with me before, you'll know I'm obsessed with light). Lyndsay (bless her!) was so flexible and trusted me to make the weather call for her. My mission was to find the best light to get them the best family photos possible!

We decided to go ahead with the shoot as scheduled, and I'm so happy we did. Despite the weather prediction, we had a perfect evening with little clouds to make for a beautiful sunset. Shooting with the Wells family was a pleasure, they are so lovely and natural in front of the camera. There were so many beautiful and candid moments created and we had the BEST colors at sunset. 

To the Wells family, thank you for holding your booking with me and taking the time to come out to Tsawwassen for your family photos. It was a pleasure to meet you guys and I really hope we can do it again in the future :)

MATHONY FAMILY PHOTOS | BEACH SESSION, TSAWWASSEN

Being a photographer who lives just outside of Vancouver, even if our town nickname is 'sunny Tsawwassen', I still have to deal with the fact that it rains. All. The. Time. Especially as a family photographer, I have to be uber flexible with rain checks because what little kid will last more than 10 minutes in a rainy photoshoot? None! The Mathony Family originally had their family photo session scheduled for October, which was rained out. We moved it to November and it was rained out again. At that point we decided to move it to the spring, and hoped the third time would be a charm.

We didn't completely escape the elements for their photo shoot, for it was the most WINDY day I've ever shot it. A day when all of the kite boarders were out in Boundary Bay. A day too windy for people to set up camp at the beach. Like seriously windy. 

I met the Mathony family in the parking lot and I noticed two things right away. Their amazing outfit choices. This year I'm seeing so much more color than past years and they had amazing bright color combinations that fit together beautifully. Second, they all have the most striking eyes! All bright and icy blue. 

When we started to shoot their family photos, I was amazed at how natural the whole family was in front of the camera. Both kids took direction beautifully and both mom and dad were hands on and super fun; the kids just totally followed suit. We shot in a field for the first while (because it was protected from the wind) before we went down to the beach. The second we were exposed on the sand, holy smokes, the wind just took over! To keep warm we had to keep moving. I felt more like a drill sergeant than a photographer as the wind was so powerful I literally had to yell directions to the family to be heard. Even with the crazy wind, both kids kept smiles on their face and laughed the whole time. By the end of the shoot, the sun peeked through the clouds to make for some beautiful lighting for our last set of photos. Right before both kids ran off the beach and back to the shelter of the car. 

To the Mathony family, thank you for meeting with me on the windiest night ever down at Centennial Beach. You guys were the ultimate troopers for battling the elements and keeping smiles on your face the whole time. I'd love to do it again sometime. Maybe in the heat of July or August on a night when there isn't a cloud in the sky and zero wind lol. But seriously, you guys are the best. Thank you!

K + J CENTENNIAL BEACH MATERNITY PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN | TSAWWASSEN PHOTOGRAPHER

Jeannine + Kevin met me at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen on a beautiful spring evening for their beach maternity sessions. The day had been cloudy and we even touched base earlier in the day with the possibility of rescheduling due to weather, but I’m sure glad we didn’t. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunset and gorgeous light as they celebrated the coming arrival of their first baby.

J + K thank you for choosing me to capture this special time in your lives. Your baby is one lucky little guy to have parents like you!

PUNI CENTENNIAL BEACH FAMILY PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN | COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SOUTH DELTA

This family photo session in Tsawwassen was originally scheduled for September. The mom loved my summer sunset sessions and I thought I could squeeze in one more because the weather was great. The day of their photoshoot came and it was pouring rain. I obsessively checked the Delta weather forecast hoping we would have a cloud break in the evening, something that I find happens all the time here in sunny South Delta. Unfortunately it was just going to rain. All. Day. Long.

We re-scheduled the shoot for October, and I am sure happy we did! This October has been the best I can remember. We had a golden autumn sunset and we still were able to get great beach shots with a pastel sunset.

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.

WILSON CENTENNIAL BEACH FAMILY PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN PHOTOGRAPHER | COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SOUTH DELTA

Summer has seems like a distant memory here in Tsawwassen now that the rain has moved in. It was only a couple weeks ago I was watching the sunset at Centennial Beach with the Wilson family taking their photos. As a South Delta photographer I love the summer for family portraits but I am excited to be moving into the fall for some fall foliage.

It was a blast taking photos with the Wilson family in Boundary Bay. It was a perfect summer evening and the sunset was cotton candy skies. It was an easy breezy photo session. So much family love. The poses came as natural as all the laughs we had.

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 :)

CENTENNIAL BEACH FAMILY PHOTOS | TSAWWASSEN PHOTOGRAPHER

Another beautiful night in sunny Tsawwassen for a family portrait session! I feel like I say it all the time, but I LOVE living here! Centennial Beach never disappoints for dreamy sunsets and crystal water - perfect for family photos. It is also a photographer bonus when the family shows up and the family is super adorable! 

KOCH FAMILY PHOTO SESSION | BOUNDARY BAY | SOUTH DELTA PHOTOGRAPHER

I met this family in the dyke parking lot between Beach Grove and Boundary Bay in sunny Tsawwassen. This parking lot is full of bikers, joggers and birdwatchers. I immediately identified the family as they all looked way to good to be going for a casual dyke stroll :)

We took a walk down the Boundary Bay dyke to fields close by for their family pictures. We enjoyed the next hour playing, laughing and having the kids cuddle up on Mom and Dad. The family dynamic was sweet and relaxed. We had local bunnies hopping around to keep the kids entertained!

To the Koch family, thank you for allowing me to take your family photos! I had such a great time and I hope we can do it again soon!

K + D WHYTECLIFF PARK MATERNITY PHOTOS | WEST VANCOUVER | COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SOUTH DELTA

I generally stick close to sunny Tsawwassen for my photoshoots. However, I'm always up for an adventure to take photos at a new location around the Lowermainland! I was really excited when Kim and Dimitri asked me to take their maternity photos at Whytcliff Park in West Vancouver. A quick google search proved this location to be a stunner and when I arrived it did not disappoint! 

A + E CENTENNIAL BEACH PHOTOS | SOUTH DELTA | TSAWWASSEN FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

It was a cold, rainy and windy evening in Tsawwassen on the day of this photoshoot. Being a photographer in Vancouver you come to embrace these conditions and make the best of them! You would never guess little Emily was cold, as long as she was cuddling and playing with her mom she was as happy as can be..

This is my go to location to take photos at Centennial Beach in South Delta. The beautiful Momma was rocking an Aritzia romper that seemed like it was made for her - just check out the back of it in the photos below! We had such a blast shooting (saying that I was the only one who had shoes on!), until we got rained out by torrential downpour and it was all worth it for these photos :)

WELCOME BABY JACKSON | AT HOME NEWBORN PHOTOS | DELTA

AT HOME NEWBORN PHOTOS | WELCOME BABY JAMES | DELTA, BC

These baby photos were taken on a typical Vancouver day - rainy, cold and dark. My typical bright, light photos turned contrast and romantic. The newborn photos allowed for the new parents to snuggle baby James in the warmth of their home. I love taking photos the first month after baby arrives, capturing couples with the newest member of their family in their natural environment.

Thank you to this beautiful family for allowing me to photograph their new baby in his first couple weeks after arrival.

AT HOME NEWBORN PHOTOS | MILLER FAMILY | SOUTH DELTA

My favorite sessions are becoming at home newborn photography sessions. These lifestyle shoots capture you and your family in your own home in the first month after the arrival of baby. I love to photograph South Delta families interacting with each other in an organic, natural way.
