Serving Vancouver families
Vancouver Maternity & Newborn Photographer
Calm, fully guided maternity and newborn sessions in a private North Shore studio, an easy drive from anywhere in Vancouver.
Worth the drive across the bridge
A private studio, just over the bridge.
Many of my families come from Vancouver, from Kitsilano and the West End to Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale and East Vancouver. My studio is in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver, usually about 20 to 30 minutes from the city, depending on traffic.
Newborn sessions are relaxed and led by your baby, so a short drive is no problem. Many parents watch a movie or take a nap while I photograph their little one.
Sessions
Find your session
Maternity
Choose from over 70 gowns and feel beautiful in every portrait. Best between 29 and 35 weeks.
Newborn
Classic or natural, your choice, with family portraits included. Best within the first few weeks.
Headshots & Portraits
Modern, fully guided headshots and portraits, even if you don’t love being photographed.
Expecting? Book your maternity and newborn sessions together during your pregnancy, and your maternity session fee is complimentary. I only take a limited number of newborns each month, so reaching out early is the best way to get the dates you’d like.
Why families make the trip
Everything you need, in one calm space
Fully guided
I guide every pose, for you, your partner and your baby, so you never need to wonder what to do.
Over 70 gowns
Choose your maternity gowns from my prep guide before your session, so there’s nothing to shop for.
Planned around you
Your newborn setups are planned around the colours you choose in your questionnaire, so everything looks beautiful together.
Getting to the studio
Getting here from Vancouver
From downtown, the West End or Kitsilano, cross the Lions Gate Bridge and take the Upper Levels Highway east. From East Vancouver, take the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, and Lynn Valley is just a few minutes past the bridge.
Please allow a little extra time for bridge traffic, especially on weekday mornings.
Please park in the driveway on the brick pad, as street parking is limited.

Maree · Maternity & Newborn
“I was initially hesitant about even doing a maternity shoot, but she immediately made me feel relaxed and calm from the moment we arrived.”
Jessica · Maternity
“We took pictures a little later than is standard for newborn shots (at 8 weeks old)… she rolled with it, pulled out all the tricks and got fantastic shots.”

Vancouver FAQ
How far is the studio from Vancouver?
The studio is in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver, usually about 20 to 30 minutes from Vancouver, depending on traffic and which bridge you take.
Do you offer in-home sessions in Vancouver?
All sessions take place in my private studio in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver. Everything is set up and ready there, from the gowns and newborn setups to a warm, cozy space for your baby, so you don’t need to prepare anything at home.
Is the drive okay with a newborn?
Yes. Newborn sessions are led by your baby, with time for feeding and settling, so there’s no rush when you arrive. I also recommend keeping the rest of the day free, so you can relax.
How much does a session cost?
The session fee is $190 + tax for maternity and $290 + tax for newborn. When you book both together during your pregnancy, the maternity session fee is complimentary. Images are selected and purchased separately after you view your gallery, and are not included in the session fee. Digital collections start at $720.
