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…

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…

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…

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…

Samantha's family is one of my favourites to photograph and film. Her kids have so much sass and personality...not to mention they are so stinking adorable. I made a beautiful family film for them a couple years ago, you can see it HERE. Sorry in advance for the oversharing 😉 FIRST, a moving portrait of this scrumptious boy...

Nicola was referred to me by another doula/photographer who was booked up. We met at her house over tea and decided to work together! She was already in her 3rd trimester so we had a lot of work to do to prepare for her upcoming home birth. 

We found out a few days before my prenatal visit that her baby girl was breech. We continued with the plan for a home birth, hoping baby would flip or that a breech home birth would still be an option...
