I hope this blog post brings you a little sunshine on such a classic Vancouver snow day! This family photo session was taken on a balmy summer evening last summer. It was the first day the Washington State wildfire smoke rolled into Tsawwassen. I was on the phone earlier in the day with Mom Chelsea (of Plasma Skin Pro - side note, she gives the BEST manicures and facials too!) and we even considered cancelling because of the smoke…and I’m sure glad we didn’t. The smoke, as unfortunate as the wildfires were :( made for really pretty lighting for their family photo session.

I met up with the Marelic family at Centennial Beach just as golden hour was approaching. I LOVED the dress Chelsea had chosen to wear and her two girls were in the most beautiful dresses from Little Luxe Children’s Boutique in South Surrey. Chelsea had also brought the most gorgeous flower crowns from Our Little Flower Company. Small details like flower crowns always make for the most memorable photos!

We spent the next hour hanging out at Centennial Beach, playing in the water and the Marelic family just enjoyed time being together! So much love between these four and it was so great being able to capture these moments on camera for them.

To the Marelic Family, thank you for meeting up with me on this beautiful evening at Centennial Beach for your family photos. It was such a pleasure shooting with you guys :) I hope we can do it again sometime!
