I got the call to document Imogen’s birth at 1 in the morning. Of course this was a night that I had decided to stay up late to work so had only gone to bed an hour or so before the call. But, this being the 2nd birth I was photographing, I was pretty excited […]

Mom and I have been trying to set this session up for some time now.. but it seemed that something always got in the way – weather, timing, sick kids. A bit of a last minute opening and sunny skies, I messaged her on a Saturday morning to see if they happened to be free […]

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit nervous to photograph this family.. 3 boys! But it was so. much. fun! And they are the sweetest nicest boys you’ve ever met! I had a hard time narrowing down a few for a preview so I thought I would do a mini blog […]

A few years ago I had decided that I only wanted to shoot weddings. It seemed that families were only looking for perfectly posed photos with everyone smiling at the camera.. matching perfectly coordinated outfits and kids were told to be on their best behavior and they’d get a treat afterwards. That is SO not […]

 I love watching new moms and dads with their babies. The look in their eyes that is the look of a new love they’ve never even come close to feeling before, how they unconsciously stroke their skin over and over trying to memorize every little bit, how little fingers and little toes are now a […]

David and Emilie just turned one and maybe because I have my own almost 1 year old, but I just love this age! So much fun.. although I imagine it is so much busier with twin 1 year olds toddling around! We met up with mom and dad and their two big sisters at Deep […]

I love when I get to take photos of families as their little ones grow. I can not believe Charley is already 1 and it has been a year since I took her newborn photos! For her 1 year session, we met at third beach in Stanley Park and had some fun in the trails and […]

“Justine! I don’t even know what to say. There are no words to explain how grateful I am to have this EPIC series of images of our family life. I thought I “knew” your style (and you know I was already in love with it), but these are so far beyond any expectations I had. […]

I met up with the Petersons (Kyla, Adam, Brett and Mom and Dad), a few weeks back here in Vancouver for photos. I often take photos of families with babies or younger kids so it was nice to change up to do a family session with older kids. And I have to say, taking photos of […]
