Family Mini Session at our South Surrey Studio
We have so many families who come back regularly for 6-month photos, 1st birthday photos, 100 days celebrations or even 2nd, 3rd, 4th birthdays on onward. Often they ask for “just a few photos” which we totally understand, as less is more and we’re all about quality over quantity! Our studio is bright, white, filled with natural light, has a few simple prop options, and is perfect for capturing natural moments and real smiles with beautiful images.

Extended Family Photo Shoot | Vancouver Photographer
We love including grandparents and other special family members in our photo sessions.

We make sure everyone is coordinated, the location and timing of the shoot are perfect, and that everyone has a blast.
