The sun doesn’t shine often in Vancouver in the winter. But when it does, is it ever magical! We had a perfect sunny winter day for B + D maternity photoshoot in Ladner. We met at North 40 park in South Delta, one of my go to spots (if you like dogs because lots of people are walking their dogs off leash in this area!). Britt arrived and looked absolutely stunning in her outfit of choice and her beautiful baby bump.

These two made the maternity session so easy and fun. I’m always there to give direction and walk you through poses, however, these two just fit so naturally together I could just stand back and snap the photo.

As the sun set in Ladner, the grass was glowing and we moved locations to another field to bring a little variety to the photoshoot. Britt did an outfit change, another amazing outfit choice for a winter maternity session!

Maternity photos may hands down be my favourite to photograph and I’m just so thankful B + D chose me to document these special photos for them :)

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!
