We spent some time here to capture baby’s first home, and then went to Goldstream Park and a pumpkin patch as it was nearing Halloween and wanted to capture the seasonal colors. Goldstream Park is a favorite […]
From the Trees to the Seas Kat and Matt recently made the move to seaside Nanaimo from the ever-forested Prince George. Engaged and ready to tackle life together, they relocated to the ocean rich community. They would also become married in this community about one year after moving. They had their engagement photos taken in Autumn and wanted to include some October-esque things. The changing Oak leaves and a couple […]

Vancouver Island Backyard Family Photoshoot Grandma and Grandpa moved to Vancouver Island a couple of years ago; Donna wanted to spend her retirement near the ocean on an island with less snow than Alberta. The only downside to moving to this beautiful place is that their children and grandchildren wouldn’t be as near to them. Time spent with family is precious, but it is even more so when there is […]

Adventurous Little Qualicum River Photo Session An adventurous Vancouver Island outdoor couples portrait session, set against the incredible Little Qualicum River that has carved its way through hard rock over centuries.

This was their […]
