Tera, Andrew, Madden & Kolten /// Surrey Family Photography

I know I promised photos of Argentina, but first one more Vancouver fall session with a beautiful family. Last week I headed out to Surrey’s Stewart Farmhouse to photograph Tera and Andrew and their two sons. Tera got in touch with me back in September about booking a family session, but the first available time we could set was in November. The Saturday we planned the session our Vancouver rainstorms were in full force and there was no way we were going to take two little boys into the rain (unless of course big mud puddles were going to be part of the scenery, which could be fun too I suppose). On November 11th the weather improved and we eagerly took advantage of the day. And despite the strong winds that blew through the weeks prior, we even lucked out to still capture some fall colors in the orchard.

Tera and Andrew and the boys were awesome to photograph and natural models. Don’t they look gorgeous!? Little Madden had a close encounter with a puddle at the beginning, but took it in stride and we continued on exploring the property

Tera and Andrew: here’s a selection of some of my favourites photos from our session. Thanks so much for a great visit to the farmhouse; I will be in touch soon with a slide show of all your images.

Kolten loved picking up the apples and trying to eat them – so cute!

This one is one of my absolute favourites – Kolten is just starting to walk and he loved all the apples on the ground insisting on either trying to bite them or chase them down the hill. This image would make for an awesome canvas I think.

Suzy + Ed + Kids /// North Vancouver Family Photography

Suzy and Ed love the outdoors. Even though they live on the downtown side of the bridge, they often come over the North Vancouver to enjoy all the fantastic trails and parks with their kids. Last weekend I met them at Lynn Headwaters Park – one of their favourites – for a casual family portrait session.

Suzy contacted me after seeing some images from Sue and Tom’s family session earlier this summer. They really liked the outdoor location and feel of the images and wanted something similar for their young family.

This was my first time taking pictures of children I never met before so I was very nervous about our session. I love kids and hoped that I could convince Matti that the photo adventure would be fun. That said, my idea of fun may be a little different than a 3 year old’s I was in luck. Matti was the sweetest little boy and we had a great time exploring the canyon and forest − I even got a hug when we met! Melts my heart It just doesn’t get any better than that for a first meeting.

Suzy and Ed – it was a pleasure to meet your family. I’ll be in touch soon with your slide show and order gallery.

With lots of love and joy, this beautiful little blessing was welcomed by her parents, grandparents, and two older siblings into their family this past spring. Robert and Amy – Thank you for your hospitality − Szymon and I were so glad to see you and to finally meet your three children in May. We hope you will visit us on the West Coast sometime.

Since our mini photo session was kind of impromptu and the older two had a full day of daycare activities they couldn’t be home to join their sister for the photos. Next time
