As a photographer, I love capturing genuine moments of connection between families, and this is exactly what I did with the Vincent Family. I got to witness a family who had a special sense of closeness and love for each other, which was a joy to capture. The kids were so adorable, and I could see the love between the siblings, especially in their playful interactions.

They worked together to make each other smile and make sure that every family member had a chance to shine throughout the session.

As the family played on the beach, and I snapped away. I could see the joy in the kids’ eyes, and the happiness on the parents' faces as they looked at their children. The family photoshoot ended with the sun setting over the ocean in Boundary Bay.

In conclusion, the Vincent family photoshoot was a special day filled with joy, warmth, and love. Watching them bond and play brought joy to my work, and it's precisely the essence of why family photos are so beautiful.

Why Family Photos Are So Important: Golden Hour Photos at Centennial Beach

As a mom, I know how important it is to capture every moment with my family. Whether it's a small milestone or just a moment of joy, I try my best to capture it all. That's why when the Bazzard family reached out to me for a family photo session, I didn't hesitate. We decided to take the photos at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen during golden hour, and it was an experience I'll never forget. In this blog post, I want to share with you why family photos are so important, and how this photo session was a beautiful reminder of that.

1. Memories: The first reason why family photos are so important is that they capture memories that will last a lifetime. When you look back at them, you'll remember how you felt, what you were doing, and who you were with. That's exactly what the Bazzard family wanted to do with our photo session. They wanted to make sure that they had beautiful photos to look back on when their daughter is all grown up and they can reminisce about their happy days spent together.

2. Connection: When you take family photos, you're not just taking pictures of faces, you're capturing the connection between family members. You'll see how much you love each other and cherish each other's company. That's exactly what happened during our photo session at Centennial Beach. The love between this family was palpable, and it was a beautiful reminder of why family is so important.

3. Milestones: Another reason why family photos are so important is that they capture milestones in your life. Whether it's your child's first birthday or their first day of kindergarten, these moments are important to remember. In our photo session, we captured the Bazzard family's daughter playing in the sand, searching for seashells, and laughing with her parents. These are the moments that they will look back on with fondness, and they will see how much they've grown and changed over time.

4. Happiness: When you take family photos, you're capturing pure happiness. The joy that comes from spending time with your loved ones is something that cannot be replicated. During our photo session, I saw firsthand how happy the Bazzard family was. They laughed, played, and just enjoyed each other's company. It was a beautiful reminder that happiness can be found in the smallest moments, and family is what makes life worth living.

5. Love: Finally, family photos capture love. It's a love that is indescribable but can be seen in every photo taken. I saw that love during our photo session with the Bazzard family. They had a love that was so pure and genuine, and it was a beautiful reminder that love is the foundation of family.

Family photos are so important for so many reasons. They capture memories, connection, milestones, happiness, and love. Our photo session at Centennial Beach was a beautiful reminder of that. It was a reminder that no matter how busy life gets, we should always make time for family. We should always cherish and capture those special moments because they will last a lifetime. So, take those family photos, and don't feel guilty for doing so. Because when you look back at them, you'll be reminded of just how lucky you are.

Capturing Ben's First Birthday | Cake Smash | Tsawwassen Family Photographer

Baby Ben's first birthday was a special milestone and his family wanted to capture this moment with a photography session. Luckily for them, I'm a Tsawwassen-based family photographer who specializes in capturing these precious moments!

We started off the session with portraiture shots of Baby Ben on his own, then moved onto bringing in the rest of the family for some beautiful group shots. He was all smiles during our time together and everyone had such a great time!

To end off our wonderful session, we did an adorable cake smash that absolutely melted my heart. Even though he had never experienced one before, Baby Ben took to it so naturally - it seemed like he'd done it many times before! It was so much fun to watch him enjoy his first birthday cake and celebrate with everyone present.

The photography session of Baby Ben on his first birthday was truly a special one - I'm so honored that I had the privilege of capturing this moment for him and his family! It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do, and why being a family photographer in Tsawwassen is such an amazing job.

I'm sure Baby Ben will always look back at these photos fondly when he gets older - they'll be reminders of how loved he has been from the very beginning!

Capturing the Ward Family: A Family Photoshoot Experience at Community Baby Studio in Tsawwassen

Photographing a family can be a beautiful and rewarding experience, especially when the family is as warm and loving as the Wards. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing them in my new home photography studio, and it was an absolute delight. Their calm, kind, and positive energy made the whole session such a wonderful experience, especially as baby sister giggled at her big sister during the shoot. I am excited to share with you my experience of capturing the beauty of the Ward family during our family photoshoot at Community Baby Studio in Tsawwassen.

As soon as the Wards entered my studio, I could feel their positive energy and love for each other. It was easy to see the special bond between the sisters as they laughed and interacted. The Ward family came prepared with outfits that matched perfectly, which worked beautifully in creating a stunning family portrait. During the shoot, we used various props and backdrops to create a fun and fresh atmosphere. The playful expressions and smiles of the Ward family were truly a joy to capture.

We started the session with some playful shots of the sisters together, big sister was so excited and giggled throughout the entire shoot. The love between them was evident, and it made the photoshoot all the more magical.

Next, we moved on to the beautiful family portraits. Every family is unique, and the Wards are no exception. We caught some amazing group shots that really captured their love and joy for each other. Incorporating the natural light of the studio, we were able to bring out the warmth and beauty that radiated from their family.

As the session continued, I noticed that the little one was getting a bit fussy. So, instead of trying to force more poses from the babies, we decided to focus on capturing candid shots of her and momma interacting in a natural way. This approach created some of the most beautiful moments of the session: authentic, loving, and sincere shots of the family enjoying spending time together.

Photographing the Ward family was such an enjoyable experience. The love that they shared for each other and the positive energy they brought to the studio made the session full of laughter and magic. Community Baby Studio in Tsawwassen provided the perfect backdrop to capture the beauty of the Ward family. Through our session, we were able to capture not just pictures, but moments in time that they will cherish for years to come. As a photographer, I feel so blessed to have been a part of the Ward family's story, and I hope to capture more stories just like theirs in the future. To all the moms out there, cherish your loved ones and don't forget to capture these precious moments on film. They are moments that will last a lifetime.

Ladner Family Photos | Kym of The Happy Photos | Community Photography South Delta

I had the most wonderful time with Kym and her family at their annual family photo session last year! On a sunny day in Ladner, we visited an apple orchard to capture some pretty incredible family moments.

The photos were taken at golden hour, when the light is soft and the colors are all glowy. We captured a range of emotion and energy as the kids played in the orchard. It was clear that Kym and her family have a total bond and just love spending time together. Each snap of the camera caught something special between them.

This sweet family has been having photos taken by me, Paige Fraser of Community Photography, for years now. I have had the privilege of watching Kym's family grow and capturing these special memories for her. Kym always does an amazing job at choosing wardrobe and scouting locations for her family photos in Ladner and Tsawwassen.

Kym, I hope you cherished for many years to come! What a beautiful family! Thank you, Kym and your lovely family, for allowing me to document these precious moments in time.
