Choosing your newborn’s photography props for their session is fun and an essential part of the process. Having an excellent selection of props that you love ensures that your sessions go smoothly and that we can create beautiful images that you will treasure forever.
Indoor Maternity Photography
Indoor shoots ensure a balanced beautiful light, carefully selected backdrops, flowing fabrics, and a large assortment of indoor maternity gown options. We also offer lifestyle maternity photoshoots in-studio or at home.

What is golden hour photography, you ask? It is the hour before sunset when the light is a hazy, beautiful glow. We capture family and maternity sessions year-round in this time frame and all-over North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, and the lower mainland.
One Year and One Year Cake SmashSessions
One Year Cake Smash or One Year Sessions are very popular in our studio. Your baby’s first birthday is a celebration that should be captured. We will create a beautiful backdrop, unique to your baby, take portraits pre and post-cake smash, and finish the session with a warm bubble bath.
