VANCOUVER FAMILY
PHOTOGRAPHER
Lifestyle family photography for nature-loving families
LET’S GET SILLY!
I know you’re busy living life, and there’s no need for another “to-do” on your list. So, let’s just hang out! We’ll keep it fun and light and get you wall art for your home that’s as beautiful and unique as your family.
REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING!
I am so lucky to have lots of albums from my childhood. Little moments that I never would’ve thought important at the time have become priceless memories for me now. I want your family to have that too, through photos, albums and artwork that endures.
GET THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
The families I work with get to take home beautifully hand-made, custom-designed albums and artwork that they delight in now and cherish forever. All of my collections include a print credit, so you can choose the pieces that speak to you and customize them.
GETTING READY GUIDE
When you book me as your Vancouver family photographer, you’ll automatically get my Vancouver getting ready guide with tips + tricks for getting you + the family prepared for your session. Everything from wardrobe guidance, shoewear advice, location considerations and more. I send this to you as soon as your date is in the books.
MEET YOUR VANCOUVER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER, VANESSA!
PHOTOGRAPHER + SILLY SELFIES EXTRAORDINAIRE!
I believe life is an adventure and what better adventure than documenting your family? I live for golden sunset light, dog kisses, and funny faces with kiddos.
I believe that the years will go by faster than you’d imagine and so it’s important to document your family as it grows.
My candid-focused approach keeps your session light and fun, putting everyone at ease, even the shy-est kiddos

“She has the ability to make my cranky kids smile and laugh for the camera and can capture their growing personalities through photos.
Vanessa comes with great suggestions for different shoot locations to change things up over the years, and we are always happy with the photos we receive and the professionalism that she displays.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We can tackle inclement weather a few ways. We could 1) reschedule, 2) move the location of your family photos to a covered area or 3) embrace the weather, grab some boots, Goretex + clear umbrellas and enjoy the wet PNW weather.
-
You will receive an email from me 4-6 weeks after your family session. If you’d like them back sooner, please ask about the rush fee.
-
Absolutely!! Especially if you all live in different parts of the world, we should take the opportunity to update everyone’s family photos!
Please note, the more people included in the shoot, the longer it takes to set up shots so I prioritize one photos of the entire family and one photo of each smaller family grouping and then focus on the candids + additional group photos.
-
Of course! I include travel anywhere in GVRD (West Van to Langley). If you’re looking to have family photos outside of the area, travel fees will apply.
-
Yes of course! Happy to split your balance into 2 or 3 payments.
