Not me blogging this sweet family’s portrait session before I blog their WEDDING day 😂🤷🏼♀️. Honestly, I had every intention of promptly sharing their intimate spring elopement on the blog with you all – it’s even next in the blogging queue. However, once I shot this session I knew it would have to take priority.
So what’s the deal with this session? Let’s take a step back to a spring Saturday back in April. It was wedding day for J & S, and they had decided on an intimate elopement-style wedding day to tie the knot. Surrounding by their tribe of close friends & their sweet little family they are building, they made their day their own, celebrating their love & union together. If I’m being honest, I fell in love with these two back at their initial consult last fall, and we’ve continued to find common ground with each other since.
Cut back to their wedding day, the instant I got these two in front of my camera, I knew I was IN LOVE. They are magnetic together, their connection undeniable, and okay they may be just a smidge photogenic. The only caveat was it was raining… POURING, unfaltering, soaking rain. While I do say rain on your wedding day is good luck and we made the most of it for their portraits (coming soon on The Blog 😘), I couldn’t escape the feeling that after everything these two had overcome together, they deserved beautiful stunning portraits filled with the same glowing warmth & love their relationship has. We quickly made plans to meet again in the summer and give these two what they deserve – a sweet portrait session, with no rain & no rush. And that is exactly what we got.
When I told you these guys got the most beautiful sunny golden hour/sunset this time around, I am not lying. I walked away from their session even more in love with them all, and promptly stayed up till the early morning hours editing away. I can’t wait to share these images with you!
Surrey Lifestyle Family Session Gallery:
Mud Bay Park is one of my favourite spots in the Lower Mainland for sessions (when the mosquitos aren’t going crazy). Here are some favourite images from this recent Surrey lifestyle family session from this summer…

I first met Katie in the summer of 2016. It was the wedding of one of her closest friends, Maria & Brad at Manning Park that I was photographing, and even as I captured their getting ready moments the morning of, you could tell the bond between these two friends was strong. Katie seemed so sweet and her loyalty to those close to her was apparent from the start.
Fast forward a year to 2017, and just as summer started drawing to a close, I received an email from Katie. I could instantly sense her excitement as I read her words – she was recently engaged and couldn’t wait to embrace this stage in her relationship.
As soon as we got together for coffee and Katie introduced me to her fiancé John, the connection between these two was strong. I loved watching how they balance each other out. John possessed a quiet strength & sense of calmness that perfectly complimented Katie’s loving enthusiasm & detailed planning.
After rescheduling due to rain (I mean, it IS fall in the Lower Mainland – who doesn’t have to reschedule a session at least once during this time of year?!) I think we all ended up grateful for the reschedule because WOW, did the weather ever blow us away! Not only were the leaves at the peak of their colourful show, but clear skies left the warm sun shining which provided us with the MOST GORGEOUS golden hour. The sun truly showed off for us (I mean come on, just look at those stunning sun flares and that golden glowy haze – to die for!!).
These two were so playful & loving with each other during their entire session. We had so much fun exploring the park together and taking full advantage of the changing seasons (because really, who can resist a good leaf fight??) I am so excited to share a few of my favourites with you guys & am looking forward to seeing these two tie the knot at Whonnock Lake next summer.

With the end of wedding season, the arrival of fall always brings with it the joy that’s also known as family sessions! I love being able to fill my calendar up in the Fall & Winter months with family sessions (as well as the odd boudoir or maternity session!) & so when Alisha contacted me back in summer to get ahead on booking her session it got me looking ahead to this autumn. I loved my time with this adorable family. They were filled with joy, warm smiles, contagious giggles & a never ending love for each other! Thanks for having me capture some forever memories for you guys <3 Here’s a few of my favs from our time together.
