A Long-Awaited Bundle to Love | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

Every baby is special to their new Mom & Dad. Planned or a surprise...first baby or third...each arrival changes their parents lives in many varied and wonderful ways. This little man, though, is particularly special for his loving Chilliwack parents... and that is because his grand arrival has finally come after 20 years of waiting!

So, as you can imagine, I was extremely honored when his lovely cousin contacted me, to help arrange his Newborn photo session. Mom & Dad were a little nervous to brave the world with this precious treasure, but were such a pleasure to get to know, during the session's couple of hours. The love for this little man was so evident - they are going to be fantastic parents!

An Impressive Head of Hair! | Surrey Newborn Baby Photographer

I really do have the best job as a newborn photographer. I meet wonderful new families from all over the BC Lower Mainland, cuddle the most adorable brand-new little people and have the honour of creating beautiful pieces of photographic art that will take my clients back in time to their favourite memories.

This newborn session was no different. I so enjoyed meeting this 10-day-old sweetheart and his lovely family. Not only did this little man have a very impressive head of hair, but he was also a very relaxed and good baby to shoot.  With 3 boys, I see years of fun and happy memories ahead for this lovely family, and I loved capturing their start for them to enjoy and look back on.

A Beautiful Evening By the River | Chilliwack Family Photographer

I really enjoyed catching up with this lovely family again, last week. (I last saw them just under 2 years ago, when their little lady visited the studio for her Newborn Session.) After a few days of gloomy, wet BC weather, we were a little worried about our photo session being washed out, but Mother Nature came through for us - the sun came out just in time.

Once again,  they were a real pleasure to photograph. With 2 children under the age of 4 and a nervous doggie in the frame, this family session could have been a real challenge, but Mom & Dad were totally on board with keeping the experience relaxed and fun for all. They were wonderfully patient, and completely went "with the flow" - even if that meant stopping multiple times mid-session to collect leaves, find cool rocks or take a quick snack break. The result was a relaxed shoot with great memories and great images to keep.

Handsome Little Dude #2! | Chilliwack Newborn Baby Photographer

When this tiny little man was booked in for his newborn photo session, I prepared for a lot of mess. You see, his big brother still holds the studio record for the most destructive bum, and giving me the biggest ever pile to clean-up afterwards. (All part of the job, of course!)  However, it seems that these boys aren't too competitive yet, and I was pleasantly surprised with only one blanket falling victim! 

Mom and I were both surprised, though, at how much he wanted to check out what was happening - he is normally a big sleeper that often has to woken for feeds. I guess I must be more interesting than I thought! Well, after an extra tummy top-up and some gentle rocking, he was out and became the perfect little model. Welcome to the world, little man!

Where Did the Last 6 Months Go?! | Chilliwack & Mission Baby Photographer

Wow... I honestly can't believe that I am blogging this muffin's 6 Month Baby Session already - it seems like only 5 minutes ago that I was photographing her gorgeous mama for her Maternity Session!! I have a favourite quote for times like now - “A photograph is the pause button on life.” (Ty Holland). It is so true... and makes me so grateful for each of my own children's photos, and the ability to be able to relive those special moments. 

This little lady was such a good little lass to shoot, staying exactly where we put her every time. She made me (and Mom and Gramma!) work for those occasional, coy, little smiles though!
