Some places are worth the extra effort it takes to get there.
This maternity session in Hope, BC, was one of those adventures.
Tucked away from the usual roads and well beyond the easy-to-reach photo locations, this spot required a 4x4 to access. It wasn't the kind of place you could simply pull into on your way past. Getting there was part of the experience, and that's exactly what makes sessions like this so special.
Because sometimes, the best locations aren't the ones everyone knows about. They're the ones you're willing to explore a little further to find.
When this couple booked me they said they wanted a place that represented them which included their love of exploring, adventures and travel.
Hope, BC, is surrounded by incredible landscapes, making it a wonderful place for families and couples who love spending time outdoors.
Maternity Photos that feel like an Adventure
When most people think about maternity photography, they might picture a field at golden hour, a beautiful beach or a carefully chosen location close to home.
And while there's absolutely nothing wrong with those places, I love the idea that maternity photos can be something a little different.
They can be an excuse to explore somewhere new. A chance to slow down and celebrate the season of life you're in. An opportunity to create photographs in a place that feels wild, quiet and a little removed from everyday life.
This session in Hope was a reminder that maternity photography doesn't have to follow a formula.
Your story is unique, and the experience we create together can be, too.
Your maternity session doesn't have to look like everyone else's
Pregnancy is such a unique chapter. It's a season of anticipation, change and imagining the life that's about to unfold.
Your maternity photographs can reflect that season in whatever way feels right for you.
Maybe that means wandering along a beach. Maybe it's spending an evening at your family cabin. Or maybe it's heading off the beaten path to a remote spot that requires a little more planning to reach.
You don't have to choose a traditional location just because that's what maternity photography is supposed to look like.
If you love exploring, being outdoors and finding places that feel a little different, we can build your session around that.
And if you already have a special place in mind? Even better.
Let's take your session somewhere different
I'm a family adventure photographer based in Port Moody, BC, and I love documenting families and couples in places that mean something to them.
From local adventures around the Lower Mainland to remote locations, island getaways and family cabins, my favourite sessions are often the ones that give us a reason to get outside and experience something together.
