leaves all around us - Victoria Portrait Photographer

It is so pretty right now with all the leaves coming down.  Here are a few favorites from a session I had on this weekend.

Christmas Session - Victoria Portrait Photographer

The weather has been perfect for Christmas pictures.  Beautiful light and still warm temperatures.  Here are only a few images we took at the Oak Bay Marina.

 

family session at the marina

I love taking pictures of this family.  Every year, around this time, we take some family portraits with a different theme.  This year we went to the Oak Bay Marina.  Beautiful light and the best fall day we could wish for.

little man

This is the last time for probably a long time that I take pictures of this family.  I have covered the parent's wedding, both maternities, newborn pictures and pictures throughout the first years of their children's childhood.  But they are moving away, far away that is, with an ocean between us.  I am so sad to see them go even though I know it will be a great move for them in other ways.  Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your life for a little while.  I will really miss all of you.

Below pictures are from the 9months session of their son.  He is such a cute little guy.  And I love this little cheeky look of his older sister.

family session with my friend

My friend Susan was in town and we took some family portraits.  Susan is a photographer in Vancouver and it must have been a different experience for her to be in front of the camera.

little cutie

I am so in love with kids' eyes.  They are so big and beautiful.  I photographed a super nice family and everybody was so easygoing posing for me on this chilly but sunny afternoon. 

turning one

This little cutie turned one last week.  It seems like I took her newborn pictures just yesterday.  

family session downtown

I had a great family session downtown.  Here are just a few favorites.

busy little people

I had a fun session in the park the other day.  The colours are beautiful right now, well, maybe no longer because of all the rain and the city being very efficient with the fall cleanup.  This little boy and his sister kept me on my toes.  I had a hard time keeping up with them. :)

boys will be boys

Another super nice family with two very energetic boys.  

so much fun...

... to photography these two cuties.  They came with lots of outfits and we had a blast changing clothes every ten minutes.  Oh, being a little girl is so much fun.

And just in time for Halloween:

maternity

I have been recording this family's life over the past years... wedding, first baby, and now the second baby is on the way.  I am excited to meet the new person very soon.

busy month

It has been busy and I am behind with posting on my blog.  So here is a few sessions all at once.  Great families, cute kids, and an adorable baby.

five sisters

I had the pleasure photographing five sisters the other day.  The ladies were so relaxed in front of the camera and we all enjoyed the session.  

family session

I  had a very fun family session with two very beautiful girls.  Difficult to pick favorites, there are so many I liked.

wedding anniversary

I had the pleasure of taking some wedding anniversary images for a wonderful couple and their daughter. We circled the entire park to get the most out of the session. Here are a few favorites.

6months old and cute as a button

This little one was ready for her 6 months-portrait. She has changed so much since I saw her last in January.

sisters

A few more favorites of the family session.

adorable sisters

Last night, after the heat of the day was gone, I photographed two little girls. Too adorable. More to come soon.

family fall session

Here are some favorites from a great session on Sunday.  Very sweet kids and supernice parents.

family session in the country

I photographed a lovely family, actually three families, out in the country.  We used my friend's barn.  Here are just a few favorites I like to share.

This cute little girl was not going to smile for me. 

Here she is with her brother, still not smiling.

And then daddy said some magic words and voila.

This little guys idea of a smile was closing his eyes and saying cheese.

And finally two very attractive young ladies.

christening at the beach

I had the wonderful opportunity to photography a christening of a little girl at the beach in Parksville.  It was a beautiful day to celebrate this event. 

 

park & beach session

I loved this little guy.  Very charming and lots of character.  Girls, you better get in line.

little man

I have been photographing this little guy since he was a baby.  He has such character.

A little kiss for his grandma.

He was more interested in dandelions than the mass of purple flowers.

winter session

We used that last little bit of snow on the ground to do some winter portraits.  This was a family session but the focus was on the little girl.  Too cute and she had so much fun playing in the snow. 

family session

Last week we had lots of rain, then some sun, then rain again.  It felt like April.  Here are some images I took of this lovely family.

fall family session

Our fall has been amazing.  We picked a wonderful warm late afternoon for these family images.  I can't show you the pictures of the entire family because they go on their Christmas card.  Christmas... sounds still so far away but is already around the corner.

family session on the beach

Great evening for a family session on the beach yesterday.  Supernice parents with a couple of great kids.
