Murphy's Law | Vancouver Child Photographer

Murphy's law says that your child will get a huge bruise on his right cheek and a big scratch down his nose the day before you plan on doing the photographs for your Christmas cards.

Christmas photograph outtakes

Thank goodness for Photoshop!

And the one on the right is the look you get when you're bribing your kid with Smarties and they wonder where the last one went. :)

My Sister | Vancouver Maternity Photography

( Email Post to a Friend )

My sister is due in a couple weeks and we are all so excited. Especially since Angelo is finally going to have a boy cousin!

We headed out for a quick session over the Thanksgiving weekend (much to my brother-in-law's delight).

Definitely a new favourite....

Isn't she gorgeous?

Congrats you guys! Can't wait to meet our new nephew.

You can totally tell you guys are sisters! She is absolutely gorgeous and glowing!! I love the one of them sitting in the grass and the one of them standing on the beach. I can hardly wait to see all the newborn photos. That's going to be one very photographed baby!!

( October 15, 2009 ) Michelle sidles said:

What an awesome session! And what a lucky sister she is to have YOU for her photographer!

( October 15, 2009 ) Heather M. said:

Wow, Jenn. These photos are stunning! She is just glowing and I can definitely tell that you are sisters - this must be the one who got married in Mexico (I think?).

Amazing color, composition and focus! Wow!

I'm leaving for Toronto on Sunday and I'll be gone for 5 days so that meant extra busy days the last couple weeks. This soon-to-be-family-of-3 agreed to meet me really early. I was so excited for some early morning sunrise shots but, of course, this was the first cloudy overcast day we'd had in a while.

The beauty of photographing on location is that I get to discover some truly amazing locations in the lower mainland. I think this spot is going to be a new favourite - so many possibilities!

Little Mister E | Vancouver Newborn Photographer

It's amazing what a difference a couple weeks make. Usually I photograph newborns between 5 and 10 days old but this little guy I photographed when he was 3 weeks old. It can be harder at this age to get babies to sleep the way I need them to in order to get those peaceful sleeping baby images. But between me, his mama and his proud daddy, we managed to get him to sleep.

Love this one of him sleeping in his daddy's arm.

Little Miss C | Vancouver Newborn Photographer

( Email Post to a Friend )

Remember this maternity session that I shared earlier this week? This gorgeous little girl now makes them a family of three.

Newborns are best photographed between 5 and 10 days old so I ask all my clients to include me in their email when they announce their new arrival to friends and family. My first thought when I received the email about this little one is that she has such a beautiful face and I couldn't wait to photograph her.

Her parents wanted to make sure we got some of those sleepy baby photographs - my favourite kind! Check and mark.

I absolutely love the dreamy look of this next one.

Does she not have fabulously big baby blues? Her mama told me about them but since Miss C was sleeping when I arrived, I didn't get to experience them for myself until halfway through the session. I've never had a baby go from complete sleep to wide-eyed and smiling back to complete sleep in such a short amount of time.

This one made me laugh. Okay photographer lady, not sure about being wrapped up like a burrito like this. And boy did she fight it. I had to be quick for these shots because, even with my super baby-swaddling skills, she still made a great Houndini.

Thanks so much for inviting me into your home.

Isn't this family gorgeous? We had to reschedule once because of rain and little Miss M wasn't sure she loved the evening session but we still got some beautiful images.

Maternity Session | Vancouver Maternity Photography

( Email Post to a Friend )

This isn't a sneak peek as they saw their images ages ago but I'm getting ready to post a sneak peek of the of the little bundle inside this mama's tummy and wanted you to see some of the "before" shots first.

There are so many amazing walls and textures at Granville Island which make it perfect for belly shots.

Definitely one of my faves from this session...
