Your Family, Captured Authentically

Family sessions are about more than a perfect portrait—they’re about celebrating the moments that make your family unique. Whether it’s playful laughter, quiet cuddles or the beautiful chaos that comes with kids being kids, these sessions capture you as you are, in a way that feels natural and timeless.

Located in Abbotsford, BC and serving families across the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver, I specialize in creating a fun, relaxed experience that lets your family’s genuine connection shine. Whether we’re in the golden glow of a local park, at a cozy spot that holds meaning to you or exploring the breathtaking landscapes that surround us, every session is crafted to tell your family’s story.

 

What to Expect

Getting to Know Your Family: Before your session, we’ll chat about what makes your family tick—your personalities, quirks and what you want to remember most about this time in your lives.

Tailored Locations: From stunning Fraser Valley fields to cozy backyard moments, we’ll pick a spot that reflects your family’s vibe and ensures everyone feels at ease.

Fun & Playful Atmosphere: No stiff poses or forced smiles here! We’ll play, laugh and capture those in-between moments that showcase your family’s true dynamic.

Effortless Preparation: With personalized tips and guidance, from outfit suggestions to ideas on keeping the kids happy, your session will be stress-free and fun for everyone.

Authenticity in Every Image: Every photo will reflect your family as you are—real moments, real joy and memories that you’ll treasure forever.

Helen & Jason

New Mr & Mrs
Such an incredible experience! Kate is so much fun, light, friendly, and makes you feel so comfortable. As two people who don't like having our photos taken, Kate made us feel like there was no camera there at all and we were all just joking around, which made the photos come out looking so natural and exactly what we wanted!

🏔️✈️ Throwback to Janelle & Austin: Chasi 🏔️✈️ Throwback to Janelle & Austin: Chasing Sunsets at Alouette Lake
Sometimes a memory is just so beautiful, it deserves a replay. This one is for Janelle and Austin, who flew all the way up from California to celebrate their One Year Anniversary with a mountain adventure right here at Alouette Lake!

Why These Moments Are Timeless
This is the beauty of choosing intentionality and experience in your marriage. It wasn't just about taking pictures; it was about honoring the start of their legacy by creating a new, unforgettable milestone. The misty, quiet B.C. mountains were the perfect backdrop for their connection—a reminder that their love story is bigger than any single location.

Are you holding off on creating beautiful experiences because of distance or logistics? Don't wait! Investing in moments like this is investing directly into the core of your relationship. These images become your heirlooms, your proof that you chose adventure together, no matter the journey.

Thank you, Janelle and Austin, for letting me be part of this incredible chapter. Your decision to chase those B.C. views remains one of my favorite memories of intentional love!
Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the f Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the flowers and the dress are breathtaking, it's the quiet, timeless details that carry the weight of your history.

Can we talk about the heirloom pieces? 👇

The Real Story Behind the "Stuff"
For my couples, the details aren't just for show. They're tangible links to the past, little moments of legacy you can feel. I'm talking about:

The delicate heirloom jewelry—maybe worn by your grandmother or great-aunt—that makes you feel wrapped in generations of love. (A moment to pause, breathe, and connect.)

The family Bible, passed down for decades, signed on your wedding day—a reminder that your story is part of something much bigger.

Pain Point: Are you worried these meaningful details will be rushed or missed in the whirlwind? I promise you, they won't be.

My Promise to You
As your photographer, I don't just snap a picture of these items. I treat them with the reverence they deserve, knowing they represent your history and the start of your new legacy. I believe in capturing that quiet, timeless moment—the soft light on your rings, the gentle fold of a treasured page.

This is where your memories become more than just fleeting moments; they become heartfelt, tangible heirlooms for your own children someday.
So often, parents come into a family session think So often, parents come into a family session thinking it’s all about the kids — but I always love to take a few moments to focus on you two.

Because before there were little ones, there was your story — the foundation that everything else was built on.
