Gestational Diabetes and a Beautiful Home Birth

Gestational Diabetes and a Beautiful Home Birth

“This pregnancy was so different than my first. The morning sickness lasted forever, and just as it started to go away I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Which honestly felt so unfair to me at the time because I live a pretty balanced lifestyle knowing that diabetes runs in my family. I thought I had done everything “right” to avoid it…”

10 Reasons Why You Should Consider Hiring a Midwife

10 Reasons Why You Should Consider Hiring a Midwife

What is a midwife? Midwives are extremely skilled medical professionals. They are an excellent choice for anyone with a low-risk pregnancy who is hoping for a vaginal delivery. Some midwives will even share care with an OB upon request in a higher-risk situation. Many people don’t hire midwives for their births only because they don’t know what they do. Midwifery care is…

This is the 3rd baby I have photographed for this family. My absolute FAV. I have also been able to film two of these sessions, which makes them even that more special….

CHRISTMAS TREE FARM | Documentary Style Family Mini Sessions

CHRISTMAS TREE FARM | Documentary Style Family Mini Sessions

Tis the season for mini sessions! I adore these little seasonal, tradition sessions that give just a little snippet of your family life…next stop, a full “Day in the Life” session for you though, amiright!?

For these 40 minute sessions, we are heading to Allouette Tree Farm in Maple Ridge. The ultimate goal is for you to actually buy your Christmas tree DURING our session! I want to capture the hunt, the kid wrangling, the cutting of the tree, loading the car, and all the crazy that goes along with these outings. There is even hot apple cider and a fire to relax beside if you need to warm up and snuggle by the fire for a bit. Don’t need a full tree or have an artificial tree? Just let the kids hunt the farm for a tiny one for them to decorate at home, and maybe pick up a handmade wreath for your front door! They smell ah-mazing.

This summer I was so blessed to be invited to witness the birth of this beautiful family just outside of Vancouver, BC (Royal Columbian Hospital). Mama worked so incredibly hard for so long, and was finally able to push her little guy earthside. Happy Birthday little one! This is your birth story…

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…

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

So basically our entire month of December revolved around our road trip down to Disneyland with some extended family. I apologize in advance the the amount of photos in this one…I’m sure it breaks some sort of blogging etiquette rules. Let’s just say it makes up for the months…
