Centennial Beach Family Photos | Kuelen Family | Community Photography South Delta

I’m so excited to finally be posting this dreamy family photo session. Summer time, hands down, is the best time for family photos. The wildflowers are out and Centennial Beach is at it’s finest.

I met the Kuelen family in Bounrday Bay to start the shoot. Their outfit choice was my favourite, ever! Light, neutral colors always photograph so beautifully with my photography style. We played in the flower fields and the kids loved spending time with mom and dad. As the sun set, we made our way to Boundary Bay beach. The water was warm and I loved how by the end of the shoot the family were all knees deep in the ocean.

Thank you to the Keulen family for letting me take these photos for you. You guys are the best to take photos with! Hopefully we can do it again sometime soon :)

Centennial Beach Family Photos | Tsawwassen, BC | Community Photography South Delta

June family photos in Tsawwassen may be my favourite! The weather is warming up, the wildflowers are out and Centennial Beach is at it’s finest.

This photo session was special for me because these are two of my good friends and their sweet baby Bowen, who is just the sweetest little guys!

I met Candice and Brent for their family photos in Tsawwassen and we started in a flower field. Bowen was all smiles and the yellow flowers complimented the sun shining off the trees. When the sun set a little more in the sky we moved to the beach in Boundary Bay for sunset photos. It was approaching baby bedtime as the sun set so he just snuggled up against mom and feel asleep for part of our session :) I love big smiles from kids but I almost love snuggly moments more. Once the sunset, Bowen work up for one last hurrah and was all smiles for the send of the session. Seriously, scroll down, it doesn’t get any cuter!

Thank you Brent and Candice for such a fun and memorable family photo session in Tsawwassen. I loved taking these photos for you guys and I can ‘t wait for our next milestone session together.

Centennial Beach Maternity Photos | Tsawwassen, BC | Community Photography South Delta

There is nothing dreamier than a snowy maternity session at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen! I’ve had the privilege of working with Tiffany and her family from her first maternity session, through cake smash photos, newborn photos and now round two maternity photos. Every time we meet Tiffany does an amazing job with wardrobe choices and styling her session. She wore a maternity dress from my client wardrobe and the pastel pink matched perfectly with the sunset.

Scheduling a snowy photo session in Tsawwassen is tricky to do..because if you live in Vancouver, you know the snow never sticks around for that long! We were lucky enough to have her photos scheduled for a time when the snow did stick around for a week over the Christmas break. In the hour before the scheduled start time of the Drewlow families maternity session, the family was stuck in terrible traffic caused by a car accident. Tiffany and I were on the phone trying to make a ‘plan B’ in case they couldn’t make it. Luckily they arrived 30 minutes before sunset and we had just enough time to capture some very beautiful photos as the sun was going down! Her little daughter Ella was such a trooper in the cold winter weather :) she was so happy to be snuggling and playing with mom and dad.

I’m so thankful we were able to make this session happen. It was the most beautiful evening and the Drewlow family looked just as stunning to match it! Thank you for coming to Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen. It’s always my go to spot for family photos!

MATHONY FAMILY PHOTOS | BEACH SESSION, TSAWWASSEN

Being a photographer who lives just outside of Vancouver, even if our town nickname is 'sunny Tsawwassen', I still have to deal with the fact that it rains. All. The. Time. Especially as a family photographer, I have to be uber flexible with rain checks because what little kid will last more than 10 minutes in a rainy photoshoot? None! The Mathony Family originally had their family photo session scheduled for October, which was rained out. We moved it to November and it was rained out again. At that point we decided to move it to the spring, and hoped the third time would be a charm.

We didn't completely escape the elements for their photo shoot, for it was the most WINDY day I've ever shot it. A day when all of the kite boarders were out in Boundary Bay. A day too windy for people to set up camp at the beach. Like seriously windy. 

I met the Mathony family in the parking lot and I noticed two things right away. Their amazing outfit choices. This year I'm seeing so much more color than past years and they had amazing bright color combinations that fit together beautifully. Second, they all have the most striking eyes! All bright and icy blue. 

When we started to shoot their family photos, I was amazed at how natural the whole family was in front of the camera. Both kids took direction beautifully and both mom and dad were hands on and super fun; the kids just totally followed suit. We shot in a field for the first while (because it was protected from the wind) before we went down to the beach. The second we were exposed on the sand, holy smokes, the wind just took over! To keep warm we had to keep moving. I felt more like a drill sergeant than a photographer as the wind was so powerful I literally had to yell directions to the family to be heard. Even with the crazy wind, both kids kept smiles on their face and laughed the whole time. By the end of the shoot, the sun peeked through the clouds to make for some beautiful lighting for our last set of photos. Right before both kids ran off the beach and back to the shelter of the car. 

To the Mathony family, thank you for meeting with me on the windiest night ever down at Centennial Beach. You guys were the ultimate troopers for battling the elements and keeping smiles on your face the whole time. I'd love to do it again sometime. Maybe in the heat of July or August on a night when there isn't a cloud in the sky and zero wind lol. But seriously, you guys are the best. Thank you!
