I shoot until I know I have what I need and we have lots of great images to choose from. Typically, sessions don’t go over an hour. I want it to stay fun and engaging for everyone!

location

Whether it's your favourite beach or your own backyard, choosing a location that is meaningful to you can add personality to your images. Or, perhaps you (like me) just adore the beauty of the West Coast and envision capturing your family against the stunning backdrop of BC. I have put together a locations guide with plenty of options, city by city, as well as a few seasonal options. For your convenience, I’m based in Coquitlam and can offer greater scheduling flexibility for locations nearby.

quick tips on WHAT TO WEAR

COORDINATED, NOT MATCHING.
Mix patterns and textures (linen, cozy knits, cotton) instead of dressing everyone in identical outfits. It looks more natural and interesting. Choose colours that complement each other (like soft neutrals with pops of color). Avoid bright or neon colors.

KEEP IT SIMPLE + TIMELESS
Go for classic, timeless clothing instead of trendy styles. Avoid large logos or character designs for kids.

COMFORT IS KEY
Pick outfits that are comfortable and allow movement. Make sure shoes are suitable for the location.

CONSIDER THE LOCATION
Dress to complement the environment—light fabrics for a beach setting, soft cozy textures at home.

LAYER
Use layers (jackets, scarves, sweaters).

REFLECT YOUR FAMILY PERSONALITY
Choose outfits that reflect your family’s style—casual, elegant, or rustic. Don’t forget to factor in everyone’s comfort.

PLAN AHEAD
Lay out outfits in advance to ensure they’re well-coordinated and everyone feels good in them.

posing

Will I pose you? Yes and no. I will definitely give you plenty of guidance! I’ll direct you in a way that creates potential for ‘a moment’ and allows you to be free, to be yourself and have fun.
