Hansma Family » Fort Langley Family Photographer

This is the third time that the Hansma family has been in front of my camera. I am thrilled that we had this fabulous sunshine, even if it was a little chilly out. I am also thrilled that she asked me to take photos of her family again, especially since it was a whirlwind trip back ‘home’ from Calgary for a wedding. Busy busy and she was able to squeeze in a session while here. I’m so glad it worked out. I took a lot of photos and had a REALLY hard time narrowing down which ones should make the cut.

If you want to see more of this family and their lives. Jessica is a gifted photographer and she is doing a weekly photo project that is fun to follow. Check it out!

We have done a session in fields and grass and pathways, we’ve done a cherry blossom session, so this year, Jessica wanted something vibrant and bright and a little more urban. Fort Langley was perfect for this kind of session. I liked the challenge of photographing in Fort Langley without going to the typical locations there. It’s a pretty town to wander around in and there are nooks and crannies around every corner.

Enjoy!

Will & Karen » Chilliwack Engagement Photography

This was the engagement session that almost didn’t happen. It was beautiful and sunny in my little town of Aldergrove all day, so when Karen called, I immediately commented on the gorgeous weather and how we were going to FINALLY be able to do this session. Then Karen mentioned something about snow. That’s right. I was basking in my gorgeous beautiful sunny weather and a mere 30 km away, it had been snowing off and on all day. We were convinced that my weather was going her way, so we decided to give it a go. So glad we did.

These two just radiate joy and happiness. I’m pretty sure I smiled the whole time I was with them. Except when we walked over the train bridge. That was kind of if-fy. Our options (if the train came) were: RUN or duck under the train in a little alcove above the freezing cold rapids of the Vedder River. Let me tell you, my idea of adrenalin is running around the track a couple of time. Pretty sure my look was more a mixture of disbelief and panic.

We found some beautiful sunshine and pretty moss covered logs and green buds on the bushes and trees. I made them sit and lay on really cold river rocks and cuddle up together on the windy beach. I also made them hike down those boulders at the end of the session (last photos).

Thank you for a lovely time Will and Karen. Enjoy your photos! You were a true pleasure to get to know.

Allison Grace » Langley Newborn Photography

Leona has been one of my biggest fans ever since I started my photography business. She always took the time to comment on the blog and encourage me. She also listened to me talk about photography all the time. For about 2 years, she watched my kids while I worked part time. I dropped off my 2 boys every Tuesday morning, and I would bring a cup of coffee and we’d chat for 1/2 an hour to 1 hour. That’s right. I’m high maintenance that way.

Leona has an awesome big heart and is one of the best listeners I have ever met. Thank you Leona for your friendship.

It was wonderful to photograph this new baby of hers. Allison is a real beauty. And look at all that gorgeous dark hair!

Jonathan & Theresa » Downtown Vancouver Engagement Photographer

When Theresa asked if I’d be interested in photographing an engagement session downtown Vancouver, I was more than a little excited! Yes, I live in the ‘burbs, but I love the city. I worked in the city for 10 years before having kids and while I despised the commute, when I finally made it into the city, I loved it.

Theresa and I planned the session around the weather forecast. And it ended up being a glorious, sunny day. A perfect day to celebrate these two getting engaged! We had 2 hours to roam around and we managed to hit Coal Harbour and Gastown and a bunch in between. I adored the authetic Indian scarf that Theresa wore. The red color just pops against the city backdrop. And the more casual images at the end the session are also some of my favorite ones.

It was lovely to have met you both. Enjoy this time!
