Richmond Family Photographer - Beach session- Bellaphoto

Okay first off.. the sky. That is REALLY for reals what it looked like in Richmond that night for our family session. I was basically jumping up and down.

There are so many reasons for a family session. Some people do it like clock work, to capture the progression of time. Some to celebrate an event, and other to remember a time in their lives.

This session was to not only capture these beautiful kids at the age they are, but also to celebrate this gorgeous momma's graduation and new position as a Midwife at South Delta Midwifery!

and again.. that sky...!

This ^^^ This is why extended family session are so so so important. I love extended family sessions, and capturing the littles with the bigs, the older with the newer. It makes my heart happy.

This was such a fun session, not only was everyone STUNNING, they all had the best senses of humor and totally laughed at my lame lame jokes. Even thought it was pretty chilly in Tsawwasen, I think the laughing helped keep us warm. <3

Tsawwassen family photography - Bellaphoto- Fall colors

Sigh.... This is one of my favorite sessions... I think I always say that, but really, I LOVED this family.

Initially momma had called wanting a session for her baby girl, and maybe some family shots....

but seriously. these people are GORGEOUS, how could I not feature each of them!

 I had such an awesome time capturing their family. 

Big brother was by far the BEST 2 (almost 3 year old) I have ever photographed.  I knew it was going to be a good day when he walked up to me and said, "okay I am ready for my picture" with a big smile.
Fall was just beginning, and the warm butterytones, just make my heart melt!

I am SO SO SO SO excited to share this session! I even have some things to write about it! :)

When discussing locations with this family, momma had mentioned she had a friend "with a farm" and we could shoot there.

What she should have said is, "I have a friend with an AMAZING FLOWER FARM, with the most beautiful spots you have ever SEEN"... 

But instead. I headed to the location thinking, okay, grass, tall grass, maybe a tractor, possibly a barn.

My heart stopped.

BEST!!!!!

My photog buddies will know exactly what I mean.

Now don't even bother trying to find this top secret, off the map, location, it's not open to the public, and this was basically a once in a life time opportunity, and I am so glad I got it!!

On to the family.
This was such a fun session, I love seeing little girls get dirty, and big sis can get dirty with the best of them!
I can't wait to photography baby number 3 in the coming weeks! #3under3

WOW....
umm wow...

I was overjoyed to hear that my gorgeous friend was expecting not one, but two beautiful bundles of squishy joy. I was also over the moon that they had asked me to shoot a maternity session with them. I have known this lady since grade 5, and as far back as I can remember, she was ravishing. The glow that pregnancy has brought her as only enhanced that.

The chemistry between these two is undeniable. She makes pregnancy look sexy.

I can't wait to see what their kids look like. 

The E family Beach session - Ladner family photography

This is the second time I had to opportunity to photograph these beautiful boys! This time it was a family beach session. I am absolutely obsessed with their blonde hair and dark eyes. I love shooting in high grass fields, but it was such a treat to be able to switch things up a bit. I have also been falling in love with moody black and white images, and I think these boys were the perfect little people to display it.
