This year kicked off with lots of cake smashes. Parents are saying that this year is different because they can’t throw a traditional birthday party so they want to celebrate in other ways. A Cake smash in the studio is a perfect alternative to a party. It still gives you a celebration and you leave with priceless images of your sweet baby turning 1! When you book a cake smash session you only need to show up to the...
This is the second pregnancy I’ve documented for Sharon and I really like working with her. She’s laid back and up for anything. Last time we did a session it was outdoors on the beach in Qualicum. It was a great session but this time Sharon wanted to try the studio experience. That includes airbrush make up and lash application by my make up artist Jessica of Jessica Churcher Makeup Artistry. She comes to the studio and glams up...

The kids even showed me a hidden zipline that I probably would have ridden...

Family beach sessions are always so fun, especially when they family has young kids and we are playing a game of beat bed time, tide and sunset. It adds a super fun energy to the session! Happiness is a Day at the Beach This session was no exception! These kids came to play and splash in the water with me. I love going into the ocean to enjoy all that positivity that comes from being at the beach and...
