My last family session of 2017 was with a sweet trio I met through my cousin Nik. They moved up the road and across the Tsawwassen/Point Roberts border into a sweet little rancher to start this new period of their lives. Like us, they moved into a new place with a new baby and renovations to be had. This pushed our newborn session to a 3 months old session which, honestly, was just as delicious. At 3 months, new Mamas have developed a system and babies have plumped up into juicy morsels asking to be bitten all over...
I met them in their new home on a beautiful sunny afternoon the first week of December. Everyone was in a cheery mood, including little Wren who was all big shiny eyes and bubbly gurgles of laughter. It's hard to know these days are gone for me. After waiting what seemed a lifetime for babies, I have somehow already birthed 3 and they are all no longer these tiny helpless creatures covered in down with sweet breath. It is a wonderful thing to be able to revisit this preciousness through my work and I am so grateful to pour my hindsight into creating memories that will shine through the foggy memories as they grow older.

Welcome Jax!
Oh, this family. The Oldhams are just one of the absolute nicest families I've met out this way. They are one of the families that have grown with me, helping to create some of my most favourite images over the years with their boys Hunter and Ryder. (Plus, it didn't hurt to have that roaring good time last summer jumping/rolling around on their backyard trampoline at an inappropriate time of night... ) There is something in the water out here, but there are a lot of families joining the 3 Kids Club (human and/or dog form) and The Oldhams are the latest to welcome their newest addition: LITTLE JAX!

I love this session.
In a world where it feels like darkness is infiltrating and spreading it's way through our safe spaces, we must look for the helpers, for it is they who shine a guiding light on the path towards hope. They need not be heroes on the news, they are often people in our community that spread love and light on a daily basis through random acts of kindness. I am always so thankful for all the clients-turned-friends that support me in the variety of creative services I provide, but I gotta say, Megan has been a recent stand-out not just as a truly supportive client but also as someone who goes the extra mile with gratitude and kindness. Arriving at my home to pick up her daughters' forgotten jean jackets from the session, I was gifted a bouquet, wine and a thoughtfully written thank you. I do my best to spread kindness in my own way, but the lasting impact of this recent act of giving has me inspired to try to give just a little more.
Enjoy a few select favourites from their Fall Mini Session!
