As a Vernon Photographer who was born and raised in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, I don’t know if I was aware of the beautiful seasons we have here. My childhood memories hold on to the beautiful apple blossoms that happened every May in the orchard next to my house. I remember the warm summer nights where it seemed the sun went to bed after I did. I always looked forward to the beautiful fall leaves under my parents walnut trees so I could make big piles to jump in to. Somewhere in those memories, the beautiful balsam root flowers appeared. Now as a photographer I look forward to these beaut ..read more

As Vernon Photographers, we specialize in a number of portrait sessions. Some of our favourites are maternity portraits, newborn portraits and weddings through my other photography company, Wedded Bliss Photography. For this incredible session Karly and Paul came from Salmon Arm to have their maternity photos created in the beautiful and picturesque Kal Park here in Vernon. It’s known for its amazing hiking trails, grasslands and incredible views of the aquamarine coloured Kalamalka Lake (or lake of many colours). Karly had even come in a few weeks earlier to try on a number of my gowns to pic ..read more

When you looking to have maternity photos in Vernon created, you need to look at a number of variables. Some things to consider are: ~ Do they bundle maternity sessions with newborn sessions? Not only is a maternity session a great opportunity to work with the photographer who will be capturing your newborn portraits, but it often saves you money as your newborn photographer may have collections that bundle the two types of sessions together. ~Does the maternity photographer you are looking at (and if you are going to work together with them for your newborn portraits) match the vision and sty ..read more

As Vernon Photographers, we specialize in a number of portrait styles. Some of our favourites are maternity and newborn portraits. These two sessions are often bundled together by my clients as it is such an amazing photographic journey to capture both for my clients. I think a lot of moms feel like they will always remember what they looked and felt like when they were pregnant, but once baby comes and life gets busy the memories start to fade. The body starts moving back into place, little feet stop kicking inside, and we start sleeping comfortably again. Capturing beautiful maternity portra ..read more

Working as one of the newborn photographers in Vernon, I have so many beautiful sessions that I don’t get to post portraits from. I have had SO many wonderful clients over the past few months, but with Wedding Season in full swing (my other company Wedded Bliss Photography has all those wonderful stories posted in the blog section) I thought I would do a quick post with a compilation of cuteness. So many beautiful new souls to cuddle, fawn over and see parents who are absolutely exhausted but so in love with their new peanuts. Every day I feel so blessed to be creating such beautiful newborn p ..read more

As a Vernon Photographer, I love when I get a client enquiry that asks about gifting a family or friend with a newborn session. It demonstrates a desire to find a really unique gift for the expecting couple and surprise them with someone that maybe they haven’t considered yet. It’s such a memorable gift! I mean, getting some really cute onesies at a baby shower is super fun, but receiving a newborn portrait session as a gift at a baby shower is creating a lifetime memory. These beautiful newborn portraits forever capture the cutest little smile, lick of hair, tiny little eyelash. They freeze t ..read more

Capturing a family throughout their maternity and newborn journey is always such an honour for this Vernon Photographer. There is a special bond that happens when I photograph someone waiting for the arrival of their baby. We know the next time we see each other, their baby will be here! I first met Hayley and Curtis while they anxiously awaited the arrival of their little boy. There was still snow left in patches on the ground. We captured their beautiful connection with the ever stunning Kalamalka Lake behind us. Hayley looked stunning in ever dress she wore. You can see them on March 15th p ..read more

I am sure all Photographers in Vernon adore taking portraits of their own family members.  Maybe adore is a strong word as sometimes it’s actually harder to work with our own family members When I created my parents 50th wedding anniversary portraits (if you would like to see them, they are INSANELY cute-you can do so on my sister website, Wedded Bliss Photography) my mom and dad were both rather hesitant to trust my process.  I remember having them walk towards me in a field of flowers and both of them saying “why are we doing this?  It’s going to look awkward”…….Guess what po ..read more

Working as one of the newborn photographers in Kelowna, I have a lot of beautiful stories of how clients hear about me. Thank you to everyone who refers their friends and family to me. It really does mean the world to me! For these sweet boys, their mommas are sisters and these little dudes were born about a month a part. Meet Arlo (the first four portraits) and his cousin Leon! Arlo was first on the scene and when his mom finished his newborn session, she asked if I could contact her sister as she too was also about to have her first son. These boys mommas are originally from Mexico. They set ..read more

As a Vernon Photographer there are a lot of ways I can have an introduction to a family.  Sometimes I meet them for the first time for a maternity session, with the next exciting session of photographing their newborn.  Other times, I meet them to celebrate a special event in their families life.  A family reunion where they want to celebrate with some family portraits.  Other times I meet a family during Santa Portraits and they become clients in the Baby Bliss Photography studio. For this adorable man, celebrating his first birthday, we met this year at Santa Portraits.&n ..read more
