Ocean-Lovin’ Beachcombers | Parksville & Vancouver Island Family Photographer

~A Vancouver Island adventure family photoshoot~ It was a pleasure photographing this ocean-loving family last week at Beachcomber Park in Nanoose Bay. Ocean must be an inherent gene in these four, as little Brooke got her diaper salt-water soaked within the first five minutes- she was compelled to play and find rocks in the water, and handsome Trace just couldn’t keep his eyes off of the ocean. This was their […]

Hilarious, they were quite entertaining and showed their true character in the images. I met […]
