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.

Courtenay family photographer - let them be little - Bellaphoto

This session took place in a pretty dark time in the children's photography community. while I was planning my yearly Back To School sessions, there was an outcry about sexualization of children in the industry. Having children as young as 2 or 3 in a smokey eye and hot pants. soon unnecessary. I wanted this session to be as pure and simple as childhood can be. I allowed my daughter to dress and style this children's photo session. And.. of course, the biggest part about being the child of a photographer.. the bribery. She was promised a trip to our favourite place in Black creek, the Mini golf course for ice cream! I think the sweetness and simplicity of this session made if one of my favourites of the summer.

Courtenay children's photographer- Back to School session - Bellaphoto

Every time I do this gorgeous girl's photos, I have no idea why I include any color images? Her momma and Dad are HUGE fans of Black and white children's portraiture! The images covering their walls are all crisp back and white image, and this Back to school session was no different.
