KELLY G PHOTOGRAPHY

Last week I got the pleasure of photographing the Warner family with their new baby boy. I was super excited to be asked to come in for a lifestyle newborn session because, Lena, the mom is also a local newborn photographer, so to me it's a huge compliment to be asked! Their oldest baby is only 18 months, so it was fun to try and capture the family dynamics happening currently. Parents are often worried that their photos won't turn out as "pinterest perfect" as they've seen d

This Vancouver lifestyle newborn session has been one of my favourites, even though the space was tight and the parents were worried about the light, we were able to make it work. I find that 85% of the time someone expresses worries about the lighting, it's actually okay in the end. My camera and gear can pull light out of places that iphones or smaller camera's cant. That being said, please let me know if you have concerns about lighting. I do have a flash system I can brin

Okay, I think we can all decide that blogging isn't my forte - I have great intentions to get content up, and then I get swept up in the business of life. My new years resolution is to blog at least half of my sessions, instead of none. But this sweet Surrey newborn session was too amazing not to share. They had the entire family on hand preparing for a big celebration, so I was lucky to get to photograph several generations together. I grow to love newborn photography more

This North Vancouver lifestyle newborn session is a bit late getting to the blog, this session with baby Connor had this amazing wanderlust vibe and feel, just look at that nursery. It also had some amazing family heirloom touches that were near and dear to this tight-nit family. I've known Chantelle for about 20 years, and she's a natural mom full of warmth and love, it's no wonder that she's also a Kindergarten teacher! #LifestyleNewborn #Newborn #NorthVancouver

After all the dark and dreary days we had been having, which affects a Natural light photographer, I was so thrilled to see the sun shining on the morning of Rachael & Marc's newborn session in Walnut Grove with their new baby boy. This was a really fun session, not only was the weather great, Rachael and Marc had some cute ideas they wanted to incorporate into the session, which in the end turned out great. I love it when clients come to me with unique ideas and incorpora

When I photographed Crystal's maternity session in Fort Langley last Fall, I got to meet the sweetest, happiest family. They were so much fun to work with and the photos turned out simply beautiful with gorgeous lighting - I'm a sucker for golden lighting, there's a reason I try and push clients towards a sunny, golden shoot. The colours, the skin tones, the light leaks, swoon! But enough about gorgeous Maternity sessions (PS - I'm offering a combined Maternity/Newborn packag

Last month a very special little man entered my life, Andrew my first nephew was born and he's absolutely perfect and adorable. He was so chill and amazing for his newborn session, and big sister Isla was fantastic as well. I went to their home in Walnut Grove, Langley for this newborn lifestyle session and got some amazing images from the day. I had to laugh when my brother rolled out this large ships wheel though and asked if we could incorporate it. I love the final image,

I can't believe I haven't shared this gorgeous natural light newborn session in Langley I did for the Lu Family. It was one of my favourite newborn sessions, as it had gorgeous light pouring into their beautiful master and they had the CUTEST golden doodle, who reminded me of my sweet Lexi who had just passed before this session. Their doodle even had the same wool coat, expressions, everything. I hadn't realized they had this gorgeous doodle when they had booked, so when the

I was so excited to photograph baby Nora at their downtown Vancouver highrise - I had taken a few maternity photos of Jess in the summer as part of an extended family Whytecliff Park session, so when their baby girl arrived I couldn't wait! She was such a sweet baby, and Jess did an awesome job of making her 'milk-drunk' and she slept pretty much the entire shoot, except for when she decided to pee all over dad. Sorry, Sean - way to take one for the team! This ended up bei

Phew- I’m on a rolling this morning with another newborn session from waaaay back. Eeeek, I’m sorry I hadn’t shared this one yet!? How is that even possible, as this one was so fun! The Falk family was simply stunning. Their home, their children, their fun loving attitude, their impeccable design and taste! I was never a fan of the colour yellow, until I saw their living room chair - which is now one of my favourite images and colours! Again, another home filled with light in

Another Share from the Summer - on one of the hottest days of the year (no space heater needed here!), I was invited into the Smith Family home for some beautiful newborn images. This is what I would call the perfect set-up for newborn photography, light was pouring into the upstairs level from every angle. Often, during a session we’re strategically having to find light near windows, open blinds, cheat a bit in our placements - but the white walls and large windows reflected

The past two weeks were some of the busiest I’ve had in a long while, the good news is they were "fun-busy" and packed with awesome friends, throwing my best friend a bridal shower, running the Half Corked Marathon in Oliver and a family vacation among sunny vineyards. But now its back to reality, (although I really love my photography reality) I’ve got some fun shoots planned in the coming weeks, including a maternity session on Friday night. But now we get to look back on

Up next on the blog is one of my favourite lifestyle newborn photo sessions! I travelled to North Vancouver where Kelsey and Ryan had just welcomed the most adorable baby boy. I was so excited when they contacted me to take their newborn photos and mentioned that there was an older sibling. So often, I work with toddlers and their new brother or sister (which I LOVE), but it was a nice treat to photograph a bigger child with baby holding ability where we didn't need to worry

Newborn goodness on the blog today! It may have snowed a ridiculous amount this weekend, cancelling one of my planned photoshoots, but nothing, not even snowy roads, was going to keep me from getting to photograph the Poon family and their newest arrival. Angela and I met back in 2003, when we were paired together as roommates in New Zealand. What a far-away place to meet such a close friend. Living with me couldn’t have been that bad, because we remained friends and I’ve had

When Rozzy & Chris asked me to take their newborn photos, I knew I had to jump at the chance! Not only are these two some of the most beautiful people you’ll ever meet, they are two of the gentlest souls and best of friends who exude light and life constantly. Light and life were two things I wanted to capture during my session with baby Paislee, who had entered the world nine days earlier and I’m so happy with the way the session went. Not only was Paislee stunningly perfect
