remember that glorious sunshine {victoria family photographer}

On a grey day like today it is nice to remember what it was like well into October.  As I am still behind with posting, here are a few favorites from a family session I had during that time.  

a little bit of sunshine {victoria family photographer}

Now, that we are heading into fall and probably the rainy season, here is one of the sessions I had during our amazing late summer.  I am about a month behind with my blog posts.  Time to post some of those cute kids I photographed.

the last days of summer {victoria family photographer}

I am still editing my late August and early September sessions.  Here are a few favorites from a recent family session.

family fun {victoria portrait and children's photographer}

My summer has been so busy with sessions, family visiting from Europe and trips around the island and into the interior.  So no wonder, I am behind with my editing and blogging.   Here are a few favorites from a session I had in the early part of summer.  Thank you to all my families for waiting so patiently for their portraits.

 

family time {victoria family photographer}

I have been neglecting my blog for good over a week now and need to catch up on all the great family sessions I had lately.  Meeting this family again after one year was really nice.  I took portraits of this little man when he was a newborn and seeing him one year later is so wonderful.

a sweet afternoon {victoria childrens photographer}

So many beautiful images from this session.  This young lady is turning 4 this year and I have been taking her pictures every year.  She was so excited to see me and was so ready to have her pictures taken.  She even made the beautiful hearts with her mom.  

wildflower session {victoria portrait photographer}

We had another great day for a wildflower session in the park.  I photographed this family a few years back, so it was great to meet them all again.  

so little and so precious {victoria baby photographer}

This beautiful baby girl was just 5 days old when I photographed her last week.  So precious and tiny.

A big thank you again to Denise's mom for making me this beautiful colorful blanket which I love using.

 

an afternoon at the beach {victoria children's photographer}

Last weekend we met at Willows Beach to take some family pictures.  An overcast day, not too cold, a few drizzles, but beautiful even light for some great captures.  I have known both children since they were newborns and I have taken their pictures over the past few years.  It never stops to amaze me how quickly they change and I love to see their different personalities grow and shine.

butterflies and bubbles {victoria family and children's photographer}

This was a lovely family session in the park.  I photographed the now big brother a long time ago.  Since then, they had a new addition to the family, a sweet little girl.  Here a few favorites from their session.

spring maternity {victoria portrait photographer}

Can't wait to meet the next addition to this lovely family.  The little guy was quite the character and stole my heart.  We never told him to show his belly off, just a natural thing to do for him.  Mom has a belly, he has a belly that needs to be seen.  

first spring rays {victoria baby and children's photographer}

Ahh, spring.  Finally we can go out without freezing and take pictures.  This little cutie turned 6 months.  A serious little girl who takes in everything.  I even brought our little dog to get some smiles from her.  

three little girls {victoria children photographer}

These three are just too cute.  The two older ones are very proud of their little sister, now six months old.  I am looking forward to meeting them again in six months.

island parent magazine {victoria children and family photographer}

Thank you Island Parent for choosing one of my images for the cover of the March issue.  The magazine is available at its usual outlets and online http://www.islandparent.ca/.  Check it out, lots to do during the Spring Break.

turning one {victoria portrait and children photographer}

This beautiful little girl turned one in December.  She has the most infectious smile.  Love photographing her.

last sessions for the year {victoria family photographer}

The year is almost coming to an end and Christmas just a few weeks away.  This family was so wonderful to brave the cold weather and the kids had fun running around and warming up.  

let the game begin {victoria family photographer}

"Mensch Aerger Dich Nicht" is a very popular German board game and it means "Don't Get Angry".  One of my favorite families was all up for a game and we started our family session indoors playing.  Here are just a few favs.  

 

beach fun {victoria children and family photographer}

Still editing all my fall sessions.  We went to the beach for this session.  The beach is always an adventure, no matter what age.

fall family {victoria family photographer}

I had my fall promo in September and here are some images for one of my winners of the free session.  Love the little cutie, just 4 months old.

family fall session {victoria family photographer}

I have been taking pictures of this handsome young man since he was a baby.  So much fun to see them grow up.  Here are just a few favorites.

two little cuties {victoria baby and portrait photographer}

7 months and 3 years old.  So sweet.

and then there were three {victoria baby and children photographer}

This beautiful baby girl was born early and only weighed a little over 4lbs.  I photographed her around 10 weeks of age when she was finally home from hospital.  Her two little sisters are very excited about the new addition and there is lots of love and attention.  It was one of those sessions where I had to be very fast and capture the girls on the go.  Can't wait for the next session in 6 months.

summer fun {victoria children photographer}

Late summer seems so far away now, and looking at these pictures, oh, it was such a beautiful day.  I love photographing these two girls.  Full of fun and spark.  

beach baby {victoria baby and family photographer}

When we met for this session, the original plan was to shoot at Willows Beach.  But it was the hottest day ever in September and the beach was packed, parking was a no go and all of Oak Bay was heading for the beach.  So we changed plans quickly and went to Dallas Road instead.  A nice cool breeze and an almost empty beach.  Perfect!  This was her 9months session and she looked adorable whatever mom put on her.  Can't wait to meet her again in three months to do the urban baby session. 

summer in september {victoria family photographer}

We were so fortunate to have this amazing weather last week.  I had lots of beach sessions and I am still trying to catch up with all the editing from my August portraits and weddings.  Thank you all for being so patient with me.  Here are a few favorites from a family beach session.  I met this family last year and I am looking forward to meeting them each year for a session.  

more sisters {victoria portrait photographer}

I have known these two young ladies for quite some time now and we had a few sessions together.  I really enjoyed our last outing.  It felt like high summer, and that in mid September.  They were even brave enough to step into the ice cold ocean water.  

sisters {victoria children and portrait photographer}

Nothing more fun than photographing siblings.  Those two girls were so into having their pictures taken, that my job was super easy.  Time flew by and two hours later the sun went down.  Thanks for making my job so easy, you two. :)

family beach session {victoria family photographer}

A big brother now, I photographed him a long time ago (it seems) when he was just a 6 months old.  Now he has a little brother and we met up for a family session at the beach.  

the last days of summer {victoria family photographer}

With the sun lower in the sky and the chill in the evenings, I think our summer days are counted.  This is my favorite time of the year though, late summer.  I am so fortunate to capture family images every year and see the changes in the children.  Thank you to the patient parents to bring along props and make the session even more fun.

a smile that melts your heart (victoria portrait photographer}

I had so much fun photographing this little girls 6 months session.  She has the cutest expressions and the most adorable smile.  Poor parents, they are in big trouble in the years to come.  :)  Can't say no to that cute face.
