Last weekend, I had Linden in the studio in Chilliwack for his ONE year birthday Cake Smash session!! It was so great to see how much Linden has grown since I saw him last after photographing his newborn session this time last year (you can find that blog post here).

It was also a perfect chance to catch up with his older siblings that I know from their family session  as well as newly engaged parents Ashley & Jason! Ashley excitedly filled me in on some of their wedding planning details as the kids all got settled in and we began Linden’s session..

The look on Linden’s face when he first tried the icing from the cake was pure magic, although he eventually decided he wasn’t quite so thrilled with this whole being messy thing.

We had a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone again!

Happy 1st Birthday Linden!!

I am so excited to welcome our first Reveal baby into the world! Baby Linden is here and boy is he precious! I could not have asked for a better little subject to photograph. I almost couldn’t handle the cuteness from this session. Have I mentioned lately how amazing this family is?

    I think the most touching moment of the session came down to Addison. Addison quietly padded up the stairs, eager for her chance to hold Baby Linden, and as babies do so often, he stirred and started crying. Did this faze Addy at all? No, instead she softly sang Linden a lullaby and he drifted back to sleep. It was a moment that was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

Beautiful big sister Keira also got a chance to softly sing to Linden as he fell deeper into sleep. 

Baby Linden, you are one treasured piece of this family. Your siblings and parents absolutely adore you. You are one lucky boy and I can’t wait to see you grow up!

 Haha – Linden says: this is my “I just pooped” face and I feel really good about it.

“I love you right up to the moon – and back. “

Courtney & Nick and their boys Micah & Wyatt are such a special beautiful family and I was thrilled to be able to help capture this exciting moment in their lives!  When I heard that Courtney was expecting baby #3, I was instantly excited with the possibility of doing a maternity and/or newborn session with these guys, and you can see why. The boys are beautiful bundles of smiles, giggles and energy. I have so much fun capturing the joy a child brings to the environment around them and this was no exception.

Taking that leap of faith.. 

Happy Monday everybody! This post is one I’ve been so excited to share – it hardly made it to today but alas, here it is. Ashley looked absolutely gorgeous, no surprise, and she is so brave. Not only was she completely down for anything, but she even braved below zero temperatures and a wicked wind barefoot! 

I love the tenderness and intimacy that is captured in this moment between Ashley & Jason. The softness in the lighting and focus helps to highlight this special moment between them. 

Seriously, how stunning is Ashley!?

Craziest, bravest pregnant lady I’ve ever known (and in a good way – promise!) – it was hard to stand there and not shiver but when Jason and I saw Ashley with no fear out in that cold it made us feel pretty silly for saying how cold we were feeling. Ashley, you’re incredible!  You can see now why I found it impossible to pick favourites from both this session and part 1 (click on link to see part 1).
