A visit to Maplewood Flats Conservation Area, North Vancouver - Vancouver Child Photographer
We took a morning a week or so ago to explore at the Maplewood Flats Conservation area, my lovely bird watching uncle got us on to this place when he came for a visit earlier this year and it is a fantastic peaceful spot to explore.. we found lots of crabs (LOTS) and saw a deer.. we managed to bust out some math with shells and sticks and physics with balancing rocks on some random beach wood! I was hoping to spot a Kingfisher or an Eagle, but maybe the boys are too noisy for that :D
I came across this quote recently and it really resounds with me in raising my boys...
"Don't climb on that. don't break anything, don't be so aggressive, don't be so noisy, don't be so messy, don't take such crazy risks.
But God's design which he placed in boys as the picture of himself is a resounding yes.
Be fierce, be wild, be passionate"
John Eldredge.

Baby Bryce - Newborn/Family Session - Vancouver Newborn and Family Photographer
I visited this gorgeous family over in Vancouver a few weeks ago to shoot their Newborn session and capture their life with new baby Bryce. Those first weeks with a newborn are just so precious and insane and wondrous and impossible at the same time! Takes me right back to the days when my boys were new.
Mom Erin is totally amazing and check out the crib and letter B actually handmade by Dad Paul! Such a pleasure to spend the morning with these guys, I really love the moments/images we captured. These are some of my favorites. Congratulations again on your beautiful boy xo
The Dykema Family - Vancouver Family Photographer - West Vancouver
It was a perfect late summer evening when I met with the Dykema's to shoot their family session.. it was also just a few days before three out of four of the children would be back into the full swing of school routine. I love how the images represent the last fleeting days of summer freedom, bare feet and sandy, sun drenched hair, climbing rocks, finding crabs, hunks of driftwood and little yellow flowers, all of those good things.
And I really love the essence of family these guys radiate, so much love and so great to spend the eve with you lovely people. Enjoy a few (a lot) of my favorites from their session :)
