Portraits of Family
These are some of my favourites from last weekend's Christmas family session. (I tend to choose the more quirky images as my personal favourites). The fun is seeing which ones the family feels represents their child's personality. I hope these shots capture "childhood" and "family life" for you the same way they do for me. There are some more 'typical' portraits in your full gallery. Enjoy & Merry Christmas!
I got to photograph this family before they left Canada to return home to Germany. They wanted to capture a bit of Vancouver in their photos and Jericho Beach proved to be perfect for just that. It was a pleasure meeting you all. I wish you safe travels!
One of the best places around, Reifel Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island is a piece of paradise. We arrived around 3pm on a cloudy October day hoping to see the snow geese. We heard them but could quite get close enough to see them up close. We didn't have long to be disappointed, as around the bend we came across 26 Sandhill cranes, I swear I felt like I was on safari. I've never seen so many in one place. I wish I had a gazillion mm lens to capture them. It was so beautiful, peaceful and romantic as the sun set. I kept thinking I needed a red flowing cloak that would billow in the evening breeze as I put my slender fingers to my brow to pull my dark curls from my eyes whilst I searched the horizon for the great blue heron, or lost ships, or something.... I can't wait to go back. My kids even love it there which is huge bonus. We brought plenty of bird food and they took lots of pictures just like their mom. Hope you enjoy the photos.
