The last time I saw this smiley boy was for his newborn session at their home in Cranbrook BC! We spent a magical even just frolicking through a meadow together.

When this family ask me to come to their home in Cranbrook for their family session I responded with a “yes please!” They have the cutest ever little hobby farm with their beloved animals and their own little forest for the kids to explore and let their imagination run wild. Childhood goals right here!

Nobody will ever know the special place my regular families that come see me year after year to photograph their milestones hold in my heart. I look forward to seeing how the kids have changed and just spending time catching up while casually taking photos of them just being themselves. I love Kimberley, BC and Cranbrook in the Spring because the wildflowers put on such a show!

When I say these kids are tough as nails…I mean they are TOUGH AS NAILS! While these photos can’t quite depict the level of coldness we felt this day on a windy afternoon in Cranbrook BC. I’m not sure I have ever been colder in my life but I still could not bear to put my camera down due to how gorgeous these folks are.
Cranbrook, BC Helicopter Family Session Photographer
Where are all my aviation nerds! Photography + Aviation are my two greatest loves (aside from my family of course). So when the two collide, I’m in heaven! We have two amazing helicopter companies we work with to bring these magical sessions together. This one was with Eclipse Helicopters and let me tell you, these kids had a blast as we landed up near one of Cranbrook, BC’s most iconic peaks - the mighty Mount Fisher. Have you ever hiked up there? After doing it twice myself, I think I enjoyed the express way instead.

I'm going to be honest...overly posed family portraits make me want to cry. In fact, I fail to even see the point of them. Why dish out hundreds of dollars to have someone provide you a false memory? Lets face it, it's all an illusion. Those types of photos are not an accurate representation of your family. When I started getting into family portraits my immediate instinct was to "give the people what they wanted", which I thought was stiffly posed portraits that Grandma and Grandpa would love! But as time has gone b,y I've noticed myself unconsciously evolving my workflow so that I try and get those "posey" shots out of the way to have more time for the candid moments with parents and their children. At first I wasn't sure how people would react when they saw that there was only a handful of "grandma" shots in their proofing gallery, but then it dawned on me that the work I post on social media has allowed the type of people who want those sorts of memories to find me, and in turn, for me to find them. The newly famous quote "your vibe attracts your tribe" actually has a lot of truth to it! I feel like I can offer more then just "family photos" now. I feel like I can offer a real memory, a real connection. You cannot deny that when you look at this mothers eyes as she gazes at her children's faces that you don't absorb a true sense of how deeply she loves her babies.
I hope you enjoy watching this beautiful family play in the woods as much as I enjoyed shooting it
xoxo Lucy
