I love happy babies!

Vancouver Baby Photography - Claire is as sweet as they come and was just a dream to photograph.  Mom and dad just plunked her down and she was the happiest little girl to sit there.  I can only hope that when it's my turn to have children that they are as good as her!  Of course, I do have to thank Claire's mom and dad for jumping around, doing backhanded somersaults, flips, and all kinds of gymnastics to keep Claire happy and smiling.  It was actually quite entertaining and funny to see...and even funnier to laugh at them!  lol!  I have to say, I'm always amused at what will make little ones laugh.  Claire would just chuckle right up when mom would sing out "Claire Bear"!  Claire Bear???  How amusing is that!?

Okay, enough of me telling you all how adorable Claire is.  It’s time to see it for yourself!!!

Amazing Vancouver Family!

Vancouver Family Photography – The great thing about being a photographer is you get to meet some really great people.   This family is so awesome!  The parents are so relaxed and chill and the kids are outgoing and all over you.  Ezra, the oldest boy, is such a little charmer!  He has completely stolen my heart!  When I had first arrived at the park, he came running out at full speed yelling at me, “Sacha, Sacha, Sacha, hi Sacha!”  I had taken pictures of him earlier in the year so he knew who I was.  He ran right up to me, grabbed my hand and passed me a small stick and asked me if I wanted to play swords.  Our whole session was a big play date I suppose.  I am a big kid at heart after all!

Now, I am also a big yoga freak and do yoga regularly.  When I found out that mom has her own yoga practice where she offers various family yoga classes, I thought… what a great idea!  She has prenatal, postnatal, mom and baby and other great yoga classes.  What a great way to stay healthy and meet other moms as well!  You can check out her various sessions at Little Tree Yoga.  When you meet Lou Lynn, you will love her!  Such an amazing person!

Thanks Lou, Chris, Ezra and Evie.  I had an amazing time hanging out with you guys!

Engagement session at Granville Island

I love Vancouver and all the great locations to photograph around the city. Olya and Karl chose Granville Island for their engagement session. There are great urban settings, gorgeous flower gardens everywhere, cute little ponds and the ocean all in one spot!

It was wonderful spending the afternoon with these two. Karl and Olya are definitely totally into each other and just a really sweet couple. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at Stanley Park in August!

Chubby Cheeks, Smiles & Tears

Vancouver Baby Photography – Little man Connor is usually full of smiles and just a happy baby.  However, the poor little guy was just getting over being sick and was also getting hungry at his session.  Now, it may sound a little cruel… but when he started to cry he had the cutest little pout on his face!  I just couldn’t resist firing off a couple shots before mom went to comfort him.  Sorry Connor, you were a real trooper!

Stephanie & Hamish Engagement Session

I had such a great time with Stephanie and Hamish at their shoot! 

Stephanie and Hamish are the sweetest couple and really know how to have fun with each other.  Of course, Hamish might have been a little nervous at first, but we were lucky enough to check out the Brix Restaurant (where they are getting married) before hand where we were all hooked up with the BEST MOJITO’S EVER!!!!  That was enough to loosen everyone up and Stephanie and Hamish… you totally rocked it and had fun!  That’s all it takes to get some great photos!

There were so many to choose from, but here are some of my favorites from the shoot… have a great weekend everyone!

Vancouver Baby Photography. Big, blue eyes and a sweet personality to go along with it.  Melissa, it was great hanging out with you and Dylan. Hope dad liked the pictures for father’s day!
