Laura and Zach - Mission Engagement Photographer

Well, this is definitely one of my favourite sessions to date!! The weather was perfect (although CRAZY cold; kudos to Laura and Zach for braving it and not complaining at all!!) and the snow was so beautiful. I am super duper not a snow person, I could one hundred thousand percent live without it, I would not ever miss it for one day if it never snowed again - howeeeever, I will admit it does make for magical photos and add something wonderful to the images. So I guess as long as the snow is far away from me and I don’t ever have to drive in it and only have to be exposed to it for photography sessions, I’m okay with it (is that too much to ask lol?)

BUT anyways. Enough about the weather. This is not the first time I’ve photographed Zach and Laura and it was just as adorable this time and just as much fun as it was the first time. They are so in love and at ease with each other and so excited to get married! I loved spending time with them and I’m very, very excited for their wedding and to witness them start their marriage!

Madeline Zylstra - Richmond Newborn Photographer

I LOVE getting to photograph newborn in-home sessions, and it was extra special getting to photograph my new niece. Welcome to the world, Madeline - you are so loved already! (also how cute is the dress she’s wearing - her mom, Monique, wore it when she was a baby!)

van Rhee Family - Crescent Beach Family Photographer

It’s always so special and an honour to get to photograph returning clients! Plus, the summer light at the beach is one of my favourite places to photograph people and their loved ones.

Abi and Curtis - Swaneset Wedding Photographer

This wedding was SO great to photograph from start to finish. I was 8 months pregnant when I photographed it, and it was the best wedding to end my wedding and photography season on! There were so many things that I loved about the whole day:

• The bride being one of my friends and co-workers

• Abi’s dress!!! And the colours of her bridesmaid dresses

• The venue; Swaneset is gorgeous, full of amazing places to photograph a gorgeous couple all in love with their people

• The sunset light (!!)

• The emotional ceremony - the light was great, the vows were so special to hear, and the love was so evident

• Curtis’ entrance to the ceremony with the ringbearers to the instrumental version of Gangsta’s Paradise

• The stairs we used for portraits - it feels very vogue and royal-wedding-esque at the same time

It was a beautiful wedding to witness and photograph, and I wish Abi and Curtis the best in their married life!

Quik Family - Abbotsford Family Photographer

I’ve photographed this family a few times before, and each time is so great! Their boys are adorable, and we were blessed with some amazing weather and sunshine.

Elise Burgsma - Abbotsford Newborn Photographer

Being pregnant myself makes sessions like these SO special for me; I love getting to document the beginning days of a newborn’s life. They are so tiny and squishable and Elise is especially adorable.

Ronald & Janessa - Abbotsford Wedding Photographer

Ronald and Janessa were married this spring & it was so much fun documenting their day! A few things that I loved about it:

• Their wedding colours! I loved the blue of the bridesmaid dresses

• The detail on the back of Janessa’s wedding dress

• The absolute joy radiating out of the whole church during the ceremony

• The mountain background for their family photos and some of their formals out in Mission

• Even though it rained, Janessa and Ronald were SUPER unfazed and just kept doing pictures!

• Having some of Ronald’s family there, who came all the way from Holland!

• The veil shots of Ronald and Janessa * all the heart eyes *

• Their reception venue at Eco-Dairy; the set-up was beautiful, they could get some fun cow shots, and the food was delicious! The entertainment was also hilarious - both of their families did some great skits and speeches!

Thank you for having me along to photograph your wedding day!

Baker Family - Langley Family Photographer

Campbell valley never disappoints, and neither did this cute family and little Tessa with her strong personality and sweet face!

Willem Appledorn - Chilliwack Newborn Photographer

I shot this session when I was just about 14 weeks pregnant - right in that first trimester, oh my goodness we’re pregnant feeling, starting to tell people that we’re expecting stage - so I was just extra happy and excited to photograph this little baby boy and these sweet first-time parents.
