Goodbye Sweet Summer

I, for one, am always most excited about the change of seasons. The best time of the year is when everything is changing over to something new. I’m excited to see what unfolds into autumn this year: travelling to Fort St John (Sep 20-23, sessions still available, hit me up!), all the lovely family/beauty fall sessions, and so many cozy sits reading books, burning incense, drinking lattes, family dinners & board games. I am, and always will be, a fan of sweater weather.

Here’s a little capture from the Cultus Lake Flower Fest - it’s such a lovely space, I would 100% recommend going next year! (It just closed for the season today).

I hope you all had a wonderful summer, let’s mosey on into fall - booking September and October currently and I can’t wait to photograph you.

Hannah | Chilliwack Portrait & Beauty Photographer

I love flowers, but forever & always, my favourite flowers will be the ones that come as the first signs that winter is over. I love the wildflowers & the weeds - and nothing makes me happier than seeing fields of happy yellow dandelions, buttercups, bluebells, and daisies. 

I also love these willow trees. They sit in a secret spot I visit sometimes, taking long drives to the river to listen to podcasts, or singing along as obnoxiously as possible to Adele albums, and you can go right underneath them, in this great big sea of dandelions, while the branches wave to and fro above in the wind. It's one of my favourite spots in Chilliwack. 

Here's just a little portrait session with Hannah, on an incredibly beautiful May day in our beautiful spring-filled city. 

Also: a quick little note to say that this is the last week to sign up for the 24 Hour Portrait Project, happening this June. AND I've added session spots open for Saturday June 2, and Thursday June 7th. June is one of my favourite months to shoot in - hit me up and let's make some magic together!

Mamas, meadows and beautiful golden light | Chilliwack Maternity Photographer

Ok, fast forward back to early summer, when I'm driving around one of my favourite new places and stumble across this random amazing meadow on the side of the road. By August this place was in full on bloom with tiny purple wildflowers, and I knew it would be the perfect place to do maternity photos with Chelsea and Chris. Lemme tell you about Chelsea and Chris: They are two of the loveliest people you could meet. To be honest, this entire paragraph was originally just going to read "CHELSEA AND CHRIS ARE AWESOME" followed by photographic evidence. 

...I'm terrible at blogging. But honestly, this session and these people hold a real special place in my heart, and I'm so grateful I got to share a few moments with this wonderful little family.
