baby girls first set of bump photos 😊 a shockin

baby girls first set of bump photos 😊 a shocking moment when Eisley wanted to join in a few with no prodding!

I’m 17 weeks now and we are VERY excited to meet her and very excited to be almost half way 🤟🏼

🤟🏼we are pretty set on a name we love (not sharing it yet)

🤟🏼I’ve been feeling her move a little here and there and it’s so special

🤟🏼hormones and headaches are evil and im so so thankful every day to be pregnant but I am NOT one of those blissed out pregnant women; it’s just nottttt easy on me

🤟🏼eisley only says the sweetest things about baby girl and pretend plays really sweetly about baby (yay!) but is obviously having a very tough time emotionally with the changes/close to turning 3, who knows but it’s been a wild. Ride. 🥲

Who else noticed their toddler struggleeee when they were pregnant/act sooo different to you? Annnyoneeeeee?

September can’t come fast enough!!! I just want you in my arms!!! 🥰

That one time in mexico where I approached 2 rando

That one time in mexico where I approached 2 random couples visiting from France and asked if I could take photos of them the next day before they head home and they thought I was asking them to pay me right then for beach photos 😂 good times good times also this weather needs to get sunnier because we’ve been sick constantly since coming home andddd I have zero energy 🤪

Couple sessions: “just cause”… thoughts? Wh

Couple sessions: “just cause”… thoughts?

When my mom saw these photos I did she said “I would give soo much to just go back one day and have that time in our early relationship when we were young photographed in a nice way!”

It’s so hard to justify spending money on things that aren’t “necessary” like a photo shoot when you don’t have a huge reason for it…

But the things people keep THE MOST from their past? Photos!

It’s just so special to me to have the stages of our life documented, as you are, in that specific time and place!

What’s your thoughts of just for fun sessions? Important or unnecessary? Something to prioritize or superfluous?
Lemme knowwww >>>

I’ve been dying for a family photoshoot and was

I’ve been dying for a family photoshoot and was sooo sad when my sister had to cancel her trip here and also couldn’t take our photos (the photographer is always in the least photos themselves lol) so I have just been trying to setup random little photos, or hand the camera to greg or someone.

I don’t have a tripod and I just quickly setup a general shot, focus on greg standing in position, set to self timer, and RUN in the shot (and then it takes about 10 shots) and we just try to randomly interact and make it fun for eisley!

Gonna be so worth the effort having our life (especially when you have young kids) documented

But then I take forever ever sharing images so 2022 that’s gonna change and im just gonna post what I feel like and probably not care about feed aesthetic as much or hashtags or alll the multitudes of things your “supposed” to do perfectly on social media…

I just wanna share photos cause I love them and encourage others to be in them and take them more!

I could end this rant with a “perfect” call-to-action as I “should” to boost engagement but I’m not gonna 😂 #diarysofarecoveringperfectionist

Mexico livin’ suits Eis and me sooo much 🙃

It’s hard to remember to bring my camera to our everyday life but every time k do and we put a little bit of effort into snapping some pics I am always SO thankful!!

Get in front of a camera with your fam this week, wherever you are, with whatever camera you have, you won’t regret it!

I’m a story teller, with my camera 🙂

You show up as you are, and I do my best to tell your story through my eyes!

I’ve had some amazing sessions in the past few months that I want to start sharing after my long ig hiatus 😊 but I’m still just going to be on here when I want, and take breaks often! It feels good 🙂

Anyone recognize them? I did their photos when their oldest was a baby, also in the fall 😌 it was so special capturing them again all these years later!!!!

if you are a parent, did you take time for yourself today?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, folding laundry while watching tv does NOT count. (✋🏼I’ve actually said this 😂)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re in a relationship, when was the last time you laughed together? Had a date night? Got a couple Photos done of just YOU two with no kids in your arms?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was a family shoot but I try to ALWAYS take some time for the parent/s alone to get some photos too 🙂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s love our kids but not have them be the sole center of our universe 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teach your Kids the importance of SCHEDULING in “me-time” and “us-time” however is healthy and happy for you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t teach them that the mundane chores of life take precedence over joy, connection, and a peaceful noggin’ 🤓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are some things I’m personally working on!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone also working on this?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone have any TIPS on how to actually cleverly DO This amidst an insane busy life?

Currently my ideas are regular check-ins with myself and Greg, writing down our goals, scheduling in weekly time for myself and as a couple, and I wanna start asking myself constantly “is what im about to do or buy or say yes to going to SIMPLIFY or complicate my life?” 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wanted to share a photo from my mini shoot I did T

Wanted to share a photo from my mini shoot I did Tuesday morning, it was SO much fun and I adore this sweet family!

I’m about to log off ig for the weekend, I hope everyone enjoys it and let’s themselves rest which is my personal aim haha!

Anyone loving the energy in this photo as much as me!? ✋🏼

P.s. the shoot started by showing up to the beach with 6 completely nude older women doing a cold morning dip 😂 when I was explaining how the shoot would go to the husband I said my style is fun and super chil and he’s like “like… THAT>>> chill” lol I’m like ok on a scale from not chill to them>>>> I’d say im about here 👍🏼 hahaha

That newborn bubble, safety snuggles contentment n

That newborn bubble, safety snuggles contentment nurturing slowwwww and fast all at the same time. Oh, and a lot of awe. And strength. And hopefully support and caffeine.

When I shot their engagement photos they were talking about how many kids they wanted and names, and now I’ve shot their maternity and newborn photos and it just feels so right!!!

It’s funny we both picked the SAME photo out of 356 photos: I LOVE when my clients favs are mine and we are so on the same page creatively ❤️

>>M I N I S E S S I O N S<< I did a poll, and ta

>>M I N I S E S S I O N S<<

I did a poll, and talked to previous clients and the NUMBER 1 thing holding people back from getting photos?

Money. Not budgeting it, not allotting it, not having it.

Not surprising really! What DID surprise me though is that MAJORITY of people, at ANY price point, expect far less photos then I myself deliver. SO!

I’m going to offer a few mini session slots and try it out! I used all the answers from my polls to decide this!

$250
25-45 minutes
20-30 photos

I believe everyone deserves photos of the unique stages of their life, and for years I’ve wanted to figure out how I can be the most accessible to those who really think photos are important, so I’m going to try out mini sessions! I’ll see how the first couple go and see if I want to keep offering them, so if you want to snag one of these first spots, email or dm me right away!

This is for the Sunshine Coast/Powell River, Vancouver and Victoria areas (for out of town shoots I’d just coordinate a couple or schedule for when im already in the area!)

If you want to share this on your stories, and someone books who found this through you than I will give you a little thank you discount on a future shoot or Starbucks gift card (:

Let me know if this mini sessions idea is something you are into in the comments!!!

I had to leave last minute for 2 days and boy am I

I had to leave last minute for 2 days and boy am I MISSING my little fam!
So very thankful for my lil team 🌙
We’re def better together!

Happy 8th anniversary to one of my very most favou

Happy 8th anniversary to one of my very most favourite couples who gave me 3 if my sweet nephew/nieces 😍

A fun loving, generous, beautiful, sweet, caring crew!

I’ve been taking photos of them for close to 6 years now 🙂

For this newborn shoot they cuddled on the couch, we bribed the kids with cookies, and then made the bribery cookies 🍪😜 whatever works!! My fav sessions is where the families are doing an activity together! Way more fun and less stress that way too!

A sneak peak into yesterday’s gorgeous sunny outdoor wedding ☺️

You know those moments that are so good you close your eyes and are fully in the moment?

Nothing exists except what’s happening right then and there: let’s live more of those k?

it’s not lost on me that I used to dream of photographing weddings and now I get to do it with Greg beside me, making people happy with our creativity (:

Thanks for making my dream a reality guys 👊🏼

a lil appreciation post for my daughter: Eisley y

a lil appreciation post for my daughter:

Eisley you amaze me!!!
It’s all too easy to get caught up with the challenges of parenthood and the struggles of specific stages, and that’s A-OK!! Life isn’t perfect and we can support each-other through the beautiful chaos that is having kids! I’m NOT gonna lie and say I’ve been having an easy time of it!

BUT I was thinking how much I learn FROM Eisley:

-be PRESENT
-not self-conscious
-try new things
-say hi to strangers
-get SO excited about the small stuff!
-enjoy nature and animals always
-feel deeply!
-not be afraid to be honest
-ask for help!!
-look in the mirror and LOVE what she sees!
-zest for life!
-soo determined to learn and grow and figure out new things!
-explore all day long

Kinda a motivating list to look at 🙂 if you make your own plz show me or comment some you’ve learned from your kids!!! We’re in this together! 💗

K look at these photos from @mckenzieshea.photography ALL THE TIME for the best boost!

They wanted a simple, intimate ceremony and weddin

They wanted a simple, intimate ceremony and wedding day: everything was “them” in the best ways :)

Even on my hardest days, parenting is still my fav

Even on my hardest days, parenting is still my favourite gig:
Welcome to the party Chloe and Dan 😉

(Music at this party is currently the theme song from Trash Truck if you know you know) and I hear Eisley yelling at greg upstairs currently, no one told me until this week that SURPRISE the “terrible twos” everyone refers to actually starts at 18 months 🙃

I always liked living on the edge I guess 🤪

The thing our kids pickup on the most is our energ

The thing our kids pickup on the most is our energy: so don’t DRAIN it for yourself in the pursuit of perfection!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IDK who needs this reminder today but:a HAPPY mom is better than a perfect mom: a “perfect” “balanced” mom doesn’t exist and you will only exhaust yourself striving for the unattainable!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t be a perfectionist about being happier either! (Lol 🤦🏼‍♀️ cause hi I do that too)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And DONT read that and give in to the idea that “ugh OTHER moms are happier than me, I need to “ENJOY every moment!” Better!”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i got the perfectionist bug again for a while
there... (first step in recovery is acknowledging the problem
Right? Lol)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please:
take a sec and notice: are you tired and not engaging in the things you love the most? Are you subconsciously COMPARING yourself to your past self/other people or constantly thinking you “know” how others are viewing you (negatively)? Have photos you love but not sharing? Not sitting down and painting or playing the piano or enjoying your everyday life because your brain is so chaotic? Remember to take the first step, just DO it as Nike says, perfection isn’t possible, there’s no such thing as a perfect mom, or daughter, or wife, or friend: change the lens you are viewing yourself in, don’t stay in that funk, create because you love it, and share if you want to, be happy (imperfectly! Not all the time every day! Don’t let yourself be tricked into believing some people or moms are!) and your kids will feel that good energy and it will attribute to a great childhood and day and life more than any “perfect” life (“perfect”ly cleaned and organized home, kids activities, perfect amount of screen time or outfits or documentation of their life)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some moms being happy and some photos I like and a quick rant that’s probably filled with mistakes but that’s ok: let me know if you get it 👌🏼🤙🏽

So last week, boredom brought Greg to randomly ask

So last week, boredom brought Greg to randomly ask me “if you could choose something exciting to happen in the next 2 weeks, what would it be?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I said “.... a super awesome elopement with cool fun people? 🤓”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then a day later I checked my IG dm’s and: the rest is history 🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It even SNOWED, the heaviest it has all year! I am still so excitedly shocked! I’ll share more of their story soon, but I just absolutely love spontaneous people and the photos that come!!!

The baby that isn’t the baby anymore, The love a

The baby that isn’t the baby anymore,
The love and anticipation,
The comfort found only in mama (and thumb 😉 ),
Mamas little protectors;
There’s beauty in the chaos 🙂
Of this world and of the tiring baby and toddler years!

One of my favourite sets to date 🖤

What’s one word that you think of when you see these?

I’ll go first: adoration
