I truly love my job. Not only because I could turn an obsession into a profession, but also because photography has brought me great friends who share the same passion. I met Ana online over a year ago, in one of those photo sharing sites, and in no time we became real life good friends! What a treat!
Ana also happens to be a talented photographer so when she asked me if I could do her Maternity photos I was sooo honored – choosing me, among so many amazing photographers in Greater Vancouver, to document such an important moment of her life… wow, I was truly flattered!
… and also a bit nervous, I have to confess … shooting another photographer is always a challenge!!
but Ana & Andre made my job so easy… especially when you throw in an adorable 4 year-old in the mix!
ok, enough rambling as I am sure you’re all anxious to see the final result!!
We started our session at their place, where I was able to capture this very sweet mom-sister-daughter moment… yes, it’s another girl!
my gorgeous friend… no need to apply ANY Photoshop trick!! plain and simple maternity glow!
Then we headed outside for a bit of fun… ok, for loads of fun!!![]()

Finally, we hit Granville Island – as per Ana’s suggestion – for some colourful and textured background yumyness!


I like that the picture below really portrays the end of the session.. everyone was really tired after 4 (or 5?) hours of shooting fun, except for me and Andre!![]()

Thank you A, A, A & L for the super fun afternoon! And thanks for your patience, I know you were all dearly waiting for these…
I can’t wait to photograph the birth of baby Alice! Baby Alice, please make your entrance into this world during daytime so I can run to the hospital with my eyes actually open!!![]()
