Centennial Beach Maternity Photos | Tsawwassen, BC | Community Photography South Delta

There is nothing dreamier than a snowy maternity session at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen! I’ve had the privilege of working with Tiffany and her family from her first maternity session, through cake smash photos, newborn photos and now round two maternity photos. Every time we meet Tiffany does an amazing job with wardrobe choices and styling her session. She wore a maternity dress from my client wardrobe and the pastel pink matched perfectly with the sunset.

Scheduling a snowy photo session in Tsawwassen is tricky to do..because if you live in Vancouver, you know the snow never sticks around for that long! We were lucky enough to have her photos scheduled for a time when the snow did stick around for a week over the Christmas break. In the hour before the scheduled start time of the Drewlow families maternity session, the family was stuck in terrible traffic caused by a car accident. Tiffany and I were on the phone trying to make a ‘plan B’ in case they couldn’t make it. Luckily they arrived 30 minutes before sunset and we had just enough time to capture some very beautiful photos as the sun was going down! Her little daughter Ella was such a trooper in the cold winter weather :) she was so happy to be snuggling and playing with mom and dad.

I’m so thankful we were able to make this session happen. It was the most beautiful evening and the Drewlow family looked just as stunning to match it! Thank you for coming to Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen. It’s always my go to spot for family photos!

Fraser River Maternity Photos | Ladner, BC | Community Photography South Delta

This maternity session was a special one for me. The dreamy girl you see in the photos is one of my best friends! It’s such an amazing things watching your friends who you’ve experienced so much life with make the transition into motherhood. And it’s EXTRA special when you’re able to document it through photos.

The day leading up to Meghan’s maternity photos were cold and wet in South Delta. The weather forecast was calling for rain all day with sunny breaks at sunset. These type of unpredictable days are such a gamble…you’ll either have rainy looking photos OR if the sun breaks through, the most beautiful sunset. As I was driving down the highway from Tsawwassen to Ladner, the sun broke through the clouds and I knew we were in for a great sunset that night.

We took Meghan’s maternity photos down by the Fraser River in Ladner. Meghan arrived looking amazing (as always) and she chose two dresses from my client wardrobe to wear. We spent the next hour taking her photos, laughing and exploring the area. The sunset was AMAZING and it totally complimented her beautiful baby bump.

So much love for this momma and feeling so blessed I was able to capture it on camera :)

TIFFANY & BRANDON BOUNDARY BAY MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION

My favourite photo sessions are maternity shoots! There is so much to love about them. The mother-to-be is glowing. The beautiful baby bump. The way the partner looks at the woman who is growing his child in her belly. There is so much love, anticipation and joy during these sessions. And Tiffany and Brandon were the perfect examples of why I love these photoshoots so much.

I loved planning this session with Tiffany. When someone puts thought, effort and excitement towards the session, you always know it’s going to go well! We chatted about outfits and locations months before the shoot. We had originally planned to do the photos at the Abbotsford Tulip Festival but unfortunately, due to Covid - 19 the festival was closed this year, but Boundary Bay is a very good second option :)

Tiffany looked amazing wearing a dress from one of my favourite online maternity shop Acmami and her flawless makeup was done by Justyne. T + B were so lovely and kind and so easy to work with in front of the camera. It was such a pleasure to photograph both of them. Tiffany was glowing the whole time and the only instruction I gave to Brandon was ‘you’re job as the Dad is to just look at your beautiful wife the whole time’ and he totally nailed it. As the photographer, it's my job is to pose and instruct the the whole time, but these two often created the most amazing candid moments for me to capture. While we were out in the water, Brandon started to dance with Tiffany just like they had on their wedding day. Seriously SO special to capture.

At the end of the session both T + B headed down to the water to finish off with some beautiful water shots. The tide was just perfect to walk out and we had the most amazing pastel pink sunset to match Tiffany’s dress. What a perfect end to a perfect night.

Dear T + B, thank you for coming to Tsawwassen for your maternity photos. I’m happy our second choice shoot location was so dreamy for you on the night we took photos! I’m looking forward to meet baby soon now and do it all over again with your newborn photos :)

Stanley Park Maternity Photos | Community Photography South Delta

I’m a Tsawwassen girl, and to be honest, I don’t often venture out of our neighbourhood for photo shoots. Saying that, when a client suggests we shoot at a new location I’m always game! A new location is like a new playground for a photographer. When taking photos somewhere new, it sparks your creativity and allows you to play with new light and landscapes. When beautiful momma to be, Ana suggested we take her maternity photos at Stanley Park in Vancouver, I was super excited! I asked my wedding planner sister Briar of Epic Events for suggested shoot locations in the area as she often does weddings at the Tea House and other Stanley Park venues.

She suggested 2nd beach, when I went to scout out the location, fell in love with right away. The reason I loved it for the maternity session so much was within a 5 minute walk, you went from a beautiful forest setting to a Vancouver beach landscape.

When I met up with Ana and Alex for their maternity photos, the first thing I noticed was Ana’s stunning dress choice and her flawless makeup. The gorgeous couple, and Ana’s perfect little baby bump made for such a dreamy team for the forest photos. As the sun was setting, we took a five minute walk and quick outfit change that brought us down to 2nd Beach for the second half of our maternity photo shoot.

Once again, Ana totally nailed her outfit choice with a soft pink dress that would compliment the sunset perfectly. At this point in the photo shoot we are all relaxed and having fun, which you can totally see through their photos.

Ana + Alex, thank you for choosing me to capture such a milestone moment in your lives. It was so wonderful meeting you two and thank you for allowing me to venture out of Tsawwassen to take your maternity photos!
