Tsawwassen baby photography- L is 1! -

This session was VERY special to me, as little L was one of my first newborns when I decided I wanted to specialize in newborn and family photography, and opened and in home studio in Tsawwassen BC.

Not only was she one of my first newborns, she was my FIRST session in my NEW awesome Tsawwassen photo studio. 

It was an exciting year for me and I am so happy this family could be a part of it.

My biggest regret in life -Tsawwassen Newborn Photographer

This is a post I have thought about many times. I have thought about how to word it.. if it's necessary.... if anyone would care. 

I have one HUGE regret in life. Honestly my only regret. As my business grows and thrives, I think about this regret from time to time. It may seem like nothing to some people, but now, with my knowledge and love for my work, it hurts. 

I don't have newborn photos of my children......

okay.. I have snapshots. I have the stereotypical iphone selfies with my babe in the hospital room. I have a few badly lit, semi blurry shots in my daughter's room, and a few on the couch.

But i don't have anything that captures them. their tininess, their beautiful little details that lasted only moments. My job, my passion, is capturing this for others.. and I didn't do it for myself...

I kept telling myself, I will do it, I will take out my camera and do our beautiful newborn photos. 
That didn't happen, the closest I got with my second is bribing my then 3 year old to get my camera for me as a nursed a ravenous 2 week old, then minutes later attempted capture their perfectness, while my 3 year old bounced off the walls, my freshly torn open c-section incision seared, and milk ran down my shirt.

This was the result.

Ain't nobody got time for that

Then trying to get an image of my two gorgeous little people together, basking in love for one another. 

Don't even get me started on the "newborn" photos I have of my older.... acid reflux.. screaming 18 hour a day daughter. It was a blur. we both survived.

I think the largest part of my reasoning behind not hiring a professional.. was pride. I AM A PROFESSIONAL, I should be able to do what I love most.. with the people I love most.


Then life got in the way.

I am not saying "HIRE ME, I AM THE BEST!!" what I am saying.. is hire someone.

THEY WILL NEVER BE THIS SMALL. EVER. AGAIN

Tiny curled fingers, those milk swollen lips... you will never see that again.


Finally. I grew a pair.. and last year had an amazing friend photograph my family. Did i want photos of myself. HELLS to the NO! I still had all that "baby weight" (cough ..3 years later) I felt like a troll, ugh no, no pictures of me.

But suck it up Buttercup I did.

and I am in love.
I now exist in images, I have captured a time in our lives.


Now I am currently online shopping for our families outfits for photos this spring <3
