Anna and Taylor decided it was best to surrender to our wet spring weather for their maternity session, so we immersed ourselves in the lushest of lush places–Goldstream Park–to capture some images of these two before their twins arrive! Can’t wait to meet the two little ones….there’s no doubt they will have the best ringlets ever. Oh, and by the way, Taylor is a fellow photographer–he works for National Geographic WOW! Check out some of Taylor’s work on his website,  www.taylorkennedyphotography.com.

I introduce to you baby Max. What a sweetheart. He was very busy boy during his first ever photo session: he cried, fed, peed, pooped, burped, smiled, yawned, and slept. It was great! Here are the results.

    Vivian — thank you so so much! You’ve captured two great moments in our lives with gorgeous pictures. The maternity and newborn albums are both now treasures for us and it’s great to be able to send to far away family. Thanks also for being so good to work with, even when Max’s schedule pushed everything a bit longer than expected! We look forward to working with you again in the years ahead.ReplyCancel

We get a lot of rain this time of year on the West Coast. I mean A LOT. And lately I seem to have formed a strange bond with my umbrella. I go nowhere without it–it’s like we’ve become best buddies, partners in crime….well okay, not really. But I have formed a strong appreciation for it’s effectiveness and have caught myself gazing at it lovingly on more than one occasion 🙂 Best invention ever. Thank you umbrella inventors! SO, when Karin and Allen and I faced some not-so-perfect weather at Ogden Point during their maternity session and it looked like the raindrops were winning the battle, who do you think came to the rescue? You guessed it. My polkadotted friend! Turns out she’s quite photogenic too. We were also able to capture some snuggly images indoors along with some classy belly bedroom shots (for privileged eyes only :))-a big thanks to Karin and Allen for being so open to my ideas! …be sure to stay tuned for some über-cute images of their baby Max.

I had the pleasure of photographing S and J, two marine biologists expecting their first baby soon! Given their professions and passion for the outdoors we thought it would be fitting to do their maternity shoot at the beach- the weather held and we were able to capture a bit of beach combing. Thanks you two for teaching me about chitons :). We were also able to incorporate a favourite childhood toy into some of the indoor shots–looking forward to meeting the “little pea” when he or she arrives!

It really is amazing to me that I’ve entered the time in my life where my close friends are starting families! Wow- where has the time gone?! It’s so neat to see just how much these wee people enrich our lives, and they seem to do this right off the bat–tricksters I say :)! I was fortunate to travel to Winnipeg recently to visit my dear, dear friend Lizzy, and her new baby girl Hailey. What a nugget 🙂 I couldn’t get enough of her.  Is she not the sweetest little darling?!! Congratulations Cam and Lizzy–I’m looking forward to seeing the three of you again soon.
