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 […]

Meeting up with Sheryl and Chris at their home in Vancouver and heading out for a little walk around their neighborhood to a few of their favorite places. Afterwards,  up on their roof to catch a hopeful sunset but instead we were greeted by the first few drops of rain. It’s that time of year in […]

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 have been wanting to document a birth for some time now and I can’t even put into words how amazing and special it was to be present for this afternoon. I am so thankful for mama and this family for allowing me to be there. Such an honor. Welcome to the world little Owen. […]

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 […]

A month or so ago when Vancouver was warm and sunny and getting amazing sunsets,  Lindsay got a hold of me to see if I thought it would be a good idea for her family session to take their boat out on the ocean and dock it at a private little beach. Obviously I didn’t hesitate […]

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. […]
