The first big, full-day wedding I ever photographed was August 1, 2010. That was Warren and Laura’s wedding at Saxe Point Park. They’ve been going back there every anniversary since and this year, they had me come along to take some photos of their family. It was so fun to see them again and meet […]

Documentary family photography is a great way to capture the current time in your family’s life the way it really is.
Family Gathering by the Sea
Daniel was visiting his family from Ireland and had me take some photos of their gathering at his mother’s beautiful oceanfront house. Unfortunately, the light was much prettier in the garden than by the ocean. But fortunately, the garden was gorgeous too. They had a bouncy castle and a bunch of other activities to keep […]
Julia and Alex are (Still) Married
Julia and Alex renewed their wedding vows last month at Beacon Hill Park with their adorable girls, Daphne and Iris, in attendance. They wanted some fun family photos taken afterwards while they were all dressed up. Their girls are fiercely independent and love to explore on their own and with their folks. All four of […]
Rainy Day Play
I photographed Nicole and Andrew’s wedding on Galiano back in 2012, so it was a ton of fun to photograph their family in Burnaby recently. They now have two adorable kids and are still just as lively as ever. Also, I really don’t think they’ve aged at all. We met up at Squint Lake and […]
A Family Walk on the Beach
Maryjo wanted some documentary family photos while her parents were visiting in the fall. It was a pretty relaxed afternoon, but we got some sweet candids and even a few nice portraits with her parents, fiance, and cute dog Jayden. Her folks are pretty darn adorable together after all these years and I wish MJ […]
Baking and Jumping with the Nylands
Wrapping up my series of family documentary sessions with fellow photographers is an evening shoot with food photographer Elizabeth Nyland‘s family. Of course, they did some baking, since Elizabeth is an awesome chef (and cookbook author). The kids were pretty into it too. Then they played a couple of rounds of Sushi Go and heading […]
The Hindleys – In Home Family Photography
I photographed another fellow photographer’s family this spring, the lovely Jenny Hindley. It was really fun getting to know her better and meet her husband and two kids. This family is pretty busy usually, so this was a rare afternoon at home, but it was an accurate snapshot of the love they all have for […]
In Home Documentary Family Session with the Morrisons
Back in spring, I enjoyed spending a couple of hours with fellow photographer Maryam‘s family in their home. She takes a lot of photos of her adorable boys, and of course her husband, but it’s nice to be able to give them some photos with all four of them (and their dog too). I took […]
Gyro Park Family Documentary
In early August, I got to photograph a really fun extended family at Gyro Park one weekend morning. Jenny’s brother and family and her parents were visiting from outside of Canada and she wanted to capture some moments from their visit. I’m not sure who had more energy, the kids or the parents. I ended […]
At Home with The Kirbys
A few weeks ago, I spent a couple of hours at home with Sherrice, Jason, and their daughter Siome, and of course Eli the dog. I’d previously met Sherrice while she was shooting a video for her business and I took some behind the scenes photos. It was fun to see her and Eli again […]
