Megan and Chris let me follow them around one afternoon in Downtown Chilliwack, and let me tell you, never has third-wheeling been so fun!

We wandered down the streets of District 1881 on a day with a particularly iffy weather forecast. We escaped t

A beautiful fall afternoon in Fort Langley was the perfect setting for this extended family session, and the few passing trains were just icing on the cake (if you know, you know!). I had a blast photographing this family and it was so special to wit

Sharing some different content today! Last month, I had the pleasure of going to the @thefrequencyfarm_ and documenting two evenings with Brea. Bouquets were made, lobster was eaten, and bees were caught napping in the flowers. It was all so lovely!

A family session doesn’t need to be just about the photos. It can be a time set aside to connect with each other and appreciate with new eyes this beautiful life you’ve been given.

This family did just that, especially in how they doted

In home newborn sessions are one of my absolute favorite things. They’re all different, as each home and story is unique, but all are tender, sweet, and authentic to each family. And nothing, and I mean nothing, beats newborn snuggles. You can

My family recently had a family session with the lovely @ellaflorence.photo, so I thought I’d take the occasion to say hello from the other side of the lens 👋

This was our first family session in three years — which I know is wild for

For the time being, I am stepping back from offering birth photography. It’s bittersweet for me, because birth is what first propelled me in my photography journey. I had long held an interest in photography, but my interest turned into pursuit

Anticipating the arrival of your first baby is wild. On one hand, you know what to expect — a baby is coming and that everything is about to change and you prepare accordingly — but you also don’t know what to expect, because the ba

I can’t believe there are only a few weeks of summer left! I have some space on my calendar this mon

From the first touch and pre-wedding anticipation, to the reverent liturgy and joyous celebration afterwards, Oscar & Carmel’s wedding day was so human, beautiful and fun. And one of the best details of the day is that Carmel’s brides
