  1. Plan Ahead!!

Laying out your idea, location, props or photographer (to catch the wonderful moment, of course) are key to lowering your stress when it comes to the big proposal. If you know everything it set to help make your proposal as seamless as possible, than you are one step closer to a stress free proposal!! 

2. Be sincere 

Amongst the pre-proposal jitters and nerves, don’t forget to be sincere when popping the question. This is your moment to tell your partner how you feel, how much they mean to you and why you want to spend the rest of your life alongside them. Take your time with this and relish in the moment. This is the start for your future together, so make it memorable! 

3. Consider a personal touch

Consider sprinkling some personal or creative details throughout your proposal. Holding your proposal in a special place or surrounded by loved ones are such wonderful things to consider when proposing!!! If there is a song that speaks to you as a couple, maybe consider having it playing in the background! The possibilities are endless, but I know you’ll consider something that speaks to you both and your relationship together.

3 tips to the perfect proposal

Now, go and plan that perfect proposal for your special person … I just know they are going to say YES!!!

Your Story Doesn't Stop at "I Do" Whether you’r Your Story Doesn't Stop at "I Do"

Whether you’re currently rocking a beautiful baby bump or you’re in the thick of the "toddler-running-circles-around-me" phase, these are the moments that make up your real, messy, beautiful legacy.

I know, I know... the house is a mess, the kids won't sit still, and you’re waiting for that "perfect" time to book a session. But here’s a little secret: The magic is actually in the chaos. ✨ I’m not about stiff poses or forced smiles; I’m all about capturing how you actually love each other right now.

From the quiet mountain views to a candid session in the Fraser Valley—your family is a masterpiece today. Not next year. Not when things "calm down." Right now.

Can’t wait to see more of your beautiful faces in 2026! 🥂
