Baby Myles | Fort Langley Family Session

I've known Lynn since she was about 14 years old and now she's married, a mom, and living in Australia!  I was so happy that they booked a mini session with me during their trip to Canada.  I was able to meet her husband and super cutie son, Myles.  

Here are some photos of our time together. Aren't his cheeks just so kissable?

Lynn and Barney, I hope that your trip home is a little quieter :)  Great to see you!

Love, Louise

Baby Lucy's Newborn Photos

My sister Jackie and her husband Tyler welcomed their daughter into their arms last week.  You might remember their mini maternity session from here.  Little Lucy was born at home and is very loved by her big brother Isaac.  Although I no longer do newborn photos, I will always take a few for my family :)  We hung out in their backyard capturing a few moments of 6 day old Lucy and here are some of them...

PS The shirt and socks used to be Nya's.  Love seeing them on another special little girl!

I love father daughter photos...

Welcome to the world, Miss Lucy!  We can't wait to get to know you better.  You have a whole lot of people that love you very much already.

Love, Auntie Louise

Baby Rachel | Newborn Session

Welcome, baby Rachel!  She is sweet and little and her daddy is pretty smitten (her mommy too, but I love to see dads head over heels).  I did engagement photos for Shawna and Ryan 3 years ago and then did their extended family photos two years ago.  So great to see them again, and this time, as parents.  Congratulations Shawna and Ryan, it was so great to catch up with you two and meet your beautiful baby girl.

Congratulations!

Baby Livia | Newborn Session

I first met Lael and Steve about 2 years ago when their son, Jacob, was just 8 months old.  I met up with them again for Jacob's 2nd birthday photos (so cute!).  And now?  They've added a sweet little girl, Livia, to their family.  I love doing newborn photos in people's homes and especially when they have an amazing amount of natural light.  It's just so...cozy.  I have to say, it was so great to see photos I've taken on their walls :)  Lael, like me, has a thing for black and whites.

Big brother Jacob did such a great job with his little sister and little Miss Livia was super relaxed the whole time.  Enjoy the newborn cuteness!

{I love these daddy daughter shots in black and white.}

Congratulations Lael and Steve!  She's here and she's wonderful.

Love, Louise

Baby Zachary | Newborn Session

I loved this newborn session.  Simple and sweet.  I always make it clear that I am not a photographer that does all the props/set ups/posing of newborns.  Although I think that is beautiful photography, it's not my style and I love to see them as they are naturally.  Joanna and Trevor's home was full of natural light which was so perfect, even on a rainy day.  Their two older kids were able to run around and then they did so amazingly with their newest little brother, Zachary (sometimes with the help of a candy or two :).

I taught Joanna in my very first year of teaching and I don't think I've seen her in about 12 years and it was so great to catch up.  I mean that, I love it!  They have their hands full with three young kids but they somehow just do it so calmly.   Baby Zachary is adorable and I love his hair.  

Enjoy the cuteness!  

Congratulations Joanna and Trevor on the arrival of your beautiful son.  Such a blessing!
Love, Louise
