Adore Vu!

   This family is nothing short of adorable and I can't wait to meet the newest addition!  We first met at the playground after they'd spent a nice morning at the farmer's market.  It was a great way to get to know the whole family and see just how brightly their little girl shines!

   When scheduling their session I was pleased to hear they were game for getting out there early.  You may often hear of photographers talking about 'the golden hour'.  Well, achieving anything close to that can be a real challenge here in Squamish!  With how the valley is situated we get about 30-45 min of perfect lighting in the morning or the evening during the summer.  The 'golden hour' here is more of alpine glow with a quick shine before or after.

   We got lucky that morning with the perfect balance of location, lighting and over the top sweetness!

A New Adventure

     When she showed me her Pinterest board I knew she was the perfect candidate to try out a new location I'd been daydreaming about.  When they arrived and her partner asked me, "With all the nice places in Squamish, why'd you bring us here?"  ....GULP.   It took a bit of explaining, but luckily he gave in & trusted me to bring out the shine in this old run down part of town.  It was everything I dreamed and more thanks to these two gorgeous parents-to-be.



          Wishing you both the best of luck.  May this be your greatest adventure yet!

A Walk With the McQuillans

  Crispy autumn leaves.  Sunshine.  And one adorable happy family.  Could this be more perfect?  Meet Cheryl, Patrick & Gemma.  Cheryl was one of the first moms I met after moving to Squamish, and her beautiful family was the first I photographed after officially becoming a business.  It's amazing what can happen in just under 1 year!  It has been such a joy to witness the growth of all the little ones I've met since moving here.  Thanks for having me join you at your favorite little river spot.  I look forward to seeing Gemma grow into what is sure to be a remarkable young lady.
