Spanish Banks Family Photos | Vancouver, BC | Community Photography

I first met Jeannine and Kevin two years ago when I did their son’s maternity photos. When I met them the first time it was a beautiful mid-summer evening at Centennial Beach and we had a perfect pastel night to photograph. For their daughters maternity session, it was March, colder and we had a toddler in the mix!

We met up at Spanish Banks in the morning after already having rescheduled due to poor weather. Even though the forecast was calling for rain, it held off during our shoot and we were able to capture some really cool skies! It was a grey, foggy, morning and made for completely different photos from the last shoot which was great!

At the start of the shoot they let me know that their son loves to cuddle mom and dad – and so that’s what we did! I didn’t want to force anything unnatural for the photos and they were so happy to roll with it and so easygoing with each other. They were such a dream to photograph!

To the Shaw family, thank you guys so much for choosing me again to be your family photographer to capture both of your maternity sessions. I look forward to our next session together once and meet your baby girl once she arrives!

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!

Tsawwassen Maternity Photos | Centennial Beach | Community Photography South Delta

Do you want to check out the dreamiest maternity photoshoot at Centennial Beach, ever?! Scroll down! I met G + T at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen for their maternity photos on a beautiful, snowy winter's day. Centennial Beach was a winter wonderland with a fresh blanket of snow. Tanya wore a beautiful white maternity dress that complimented the snow perfectly. I've taken family photos 100 times at Centennial Beach but I've never seen it so beautiful before. We spent the hour before sunset, hanging out and taking photos with Tanya's beautiful baby bump. I had to give these two little directions as they both were just so natural in front of the camera. It may have been beautiful but it was also SO cold by the time the sun set over Boundary Bay. But just look at the photos, you would have had no idea by how these two look :)

It was a photoshoot I'll never forget. Maybe one of the most beautiful with the way the Tsawwassen Beach looked with these two gorgeous parents to be.

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 :)

TSAWWASSEN MATERNTIY PHOTOS | COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SOUTH DELTA | BOUNDARY BAY

This was such a special one for me! Jess and Geordie are having a baby! And I had the honour of capturing their maternity photos in Boundary Bay! They’re some of my closest friends and have been in my life for many years! I met Jess in grade 5 at English Bluff Elementary in Tsawwassen. We were immediate besties from day one. We played sports together, travelled together, celebrated holidays together, got into trouble in high school together. Over the years, the only time we EVER had a disagreement was in grade 5 when we couldn’t decide who was going to be Sporty Spice :)

Jess and Geordie met in highschool, and although they never dated until afterwards, our whole friend group saw this couple in the making a mile away. And we were all so HAPPY when they finally figured out they were perfect for each other :)

The evening of their maternity photos can only be describes as dreamy. It was one of the first warm nights of the year and clear skies in the forecast. We headed down to Boundary Bay for their shoot. Jess was totally prepared with a gorgeous red Minca blanket, and Geordie (bless him) came with Four Winds beers to share, with me, not Jess ;) Their sweet pup Bodhi added such a fun and candid element to their photos!

At sunset, we headed to the dyke for gorgeous photos as the skye was changing from blue, to purple to pink. A perfect way to end a maternity shoot.

Jess and Geordie, I know I’ve said it a million times, but I’m SO happy for you guys! You guys are going to make the most amazing parents and I can’t wait to raise our kids together! xoxo P
