Bright white session - Bellaphoto - Comox Valley photographer

Though I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for color, these bright whites are completely winning me over.
One of the greatest accomplishments I have had in my work the past few years is being able to create super natural lighting using artificial. Strobe is my jam.

LIfestyle newborn session - Bellaphoto - comox valley photographer

One of my goals in my Courtenay 5th street photo studio, is to be able to offer a look that doesn't look like your traditional photo studio. Because of this I am able to create natural (but incredibly well lit) lifestyle newborn images!

I love incorporating a lifestyle component in to every newborn session, to capture those natural emotions. 

3 boys! - Bellaphoto - Comox Valley Newborn photographer

This momma guessed when she was only a few months pregnant that it would be another boy.. and she was right! After coming from a family of all girls it's boy #3 for her.
Dad is an awesome client from Shelter Point Distillery but this is the first newborn photography session I have done for this family.

I love extended family photo session! Capturing the love between siblings and cousins is the best.  Two of these ladies came all the way to the Comox Valley from Seattle Washington! 
 The best part about having a commercial photo studio, even though it was dark and snowy out, it's always gorgeous and warm inside the studio!

This is the 4th time I have shot this STUNNING family, and the most amazing part of that is that they live on completely the opposite end of the country, but head back to the Comox Valley to visit family.
This was the first time I had bet their youngest little one. what a beautiful family!

New baby session - Bellaphoto - Comox Valley

I know I can tell everyone time and time again, but there is literally NO bad age for baby photos. I have had clients come to me in tears, as other photographer's have said the words "your baby is too old".

There is literally no such thing..

Though newborn photography sessions usually take place between 7-21 days, and we may not get curly newborn poses, we will always capture gorgeous connections between you and your baby.

I also love that as the baby gets a little older, generally siblings are a little more used to the idea, and are able to love on that little a bit more.

This stunning little one was over 8 weeks old when she came in to my Comox Valley photography studio.

The S family - Comox Valley family photography - Bellaphoto

My favourite part of being a newborn photographer, is seeing "my" babies grow up!

I remember so clearly doing this little man's newborn photo session, and since moving to the Comox Valley, I have been able to return to my old town for Family photo session! 

This rad fam came to see me during a recent round of family sessions in Tsawwassen. Sidenote I totally think this momma is aging backwards, she looks younger every time I photograph her!.
