Hello Baby | New Westminster Newborn Photography

Hello Baby | New Westminster Newborn Photography

I recently got to photograph a birth with Whitney (a local New Westminster doula), and I was so honoured when she reached out to me to purchase a newborn session for her bestie as a gift. Seriously the sweetest. I think I’ve mentioned about 1000x how much I love how toddlers are just about my favourite subjects…this little one did NOT disappoint…

An Adoption Story | Fraser Valley Photographer and Filmmaker

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to adopt a baby? Rob and Sarah so graciously invited me to film their adoption journey, and it was absolutely incredible. Ethel just turned ONE. So I thought it was fitting to finally blog their story! YES they have a pet pig who lives in their house, and YES she is breastfeeding…

In 2017, another local photographer referred one of his past wedding clients on to me for newborn photos. I absolutely love getting new clients via referral, there’s just something special about it. Fast forward to this year, when they contacted me for family photos as well! Just ask any photographer, repeat clients are THE BEST. You already have a wonderful connection and you always get right down to the…

A Beautiful Fraser Valley Home Birth | Alyssa Kellert Photo + Film

Ahh home births. There’s just something so cozy and calm about them. It’s incredible to be a part of something so powerful, every single time. This was their FOURTH little baby, third girl (and third home birth)! They were incredibly excited to meet their little one, and mom waited oh so patiently. Mom was in early labour for quite a while, and I was on high alert for their birth…

Sweet Baby Blake | Vancouver Family Photographer and Filmmaker

Stacie and I met online (how else does one meet new friends these days?!). I’ve always loved her photos, she’s uber talented. I was so excited when she was pregnant with baby #3 and emailed me to ask about newborn photos and a short film. I always feel so honoured with I am hired by fellow photographers. We decided on a partial trade for some family photos…

A Saturday Morning | Vancouver Family Photographer and Filmmaker

I LOVE family films. They are magic. Video brings LIFE to these memories. I love looking back at my own family films. They make me cry every time. My kids grow like weeds. Hearing their little voices. The things that seem like they will stay forever, but you wake up one day and they don’t mispronounce words the same way or do that cute little…

These are the Days // 365 Daily Photo Project - November 2018

I’m not perfect. I definitely have not been taking a photo every single day this month 😬 . I didn’t even have enough ‘make up’ days to fill in the gaps. It’s been super gloomy, rainy and cold and we just have not been getting out a lot other than errands and regular activities. We got out a bit at the beginning of the month, and took a fun little adventure out to White Rock. We also decorated for Christmas on Remembrance Day long weekend. We will away for part of December so wanted to enjoy the cozy…

A Saturday Morning | Day in the Life | Family Photographer, Vancouver

Day in the Life sessions are one of my favourites to photograph. I get to capture some real, sweet and often funny moments that so often go unnoticed. This family had a half DITL session, and we got to spend the morning together! I arrived around 7:45am and joined them while they…
