One of my very favourite things to photograph are couples who are expecting their first child. There is just something so magical about that chapter of life! I can't help but think back to when I was pregnant with my first son-- the sense of excitement, and wonder, and nervousness was palpable. It's truly a time like no other. 

Which is why I am so thrilled to offer a Belly & Baby package to Kootenay Families. This package covers your Maternity Photography Session, as well as your Newborn Photography Session. Maternity sessions can be done outdoors or in your home. And newborn sessions are most typically done in the client home (where baby is surrounded by familiar sights and sounds and the temperature is regulated)

Being able to capture both your Maternity milestone, and then follow that up with the Newborn Session helps me tell the entire story of this exciting chapter of your lives.

Spoiler alert-- the baby is really, REALLY stinkin' cute.

It has been a hot minute since I blogged! But now that the winter snow has melted, I'm thinking more and more about this coming wedding season, and I realized that I still hadn't shared my final wedding of the 2020 season. Better late than never?

Man, what a weird year 2020 was. 90% of my wedding bookings cancelled or postponed. But you know something? That only made the few weddings that went ahead all the more special. Tanis and Ryan's wedding was one such event. 

This adventure loving couple tied the knot at the top of a mountain in Kimberley BC, at the stunning Kimberley Alpine Resort. How many folks can say that their wedding day transportation included a ski chair lift?

Gosh, it was so hard choosing just 20-30 images for this post! One of my favourite maternity sessions ever with one of my favourite families ever. I first met Sara and Bergen when we shot their engagement session back in 2015. Then I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding. Then an in-home newborn session welcoming their beautiful daughter. I have been so honoured to be invited back into their lives over and over again to capture their most precious, life-changing, milestone events. It's truly an honour that I don't take lightly for a moment. 

We headed up the mountain for their maternity session this time around, shooting at Rossland's 'Black Jack Ski Club'. With sweeping views of Red Mountain just beyond, it felt very much like a home-coming. These two got married at Red Mountain Resort in 2016, after all. 

It was cold the day of this session, and actually snowed the very next day... But you would never guess it by how happy and easy going the entire family was (always is!) Even big fur-sister, Dimer, showed up in her best bandana and posed for a few photos.
