Thanks for stopping by. I’m Paris, photographer and mom of 4 wild and crazy kids, including identical twin boys and two older girls. I specialize in lifestyle family photography. 

Although my business started with wedding photography my passion is with photographing families. I love capturing that glow and growing bump of a mama-to-be and then the new family welcoming home their first baby. There is something special about watching and recording children and a family as they grow, add siblings, mature and change with the seasons of childhood and parenthood. I know personally how fleeting it all is and how hard it is to take those photos while you’re in the thick of it.  And that’s where I come in :)

So, please grab a cup of your favourite beverage and take a moment to scroll my blog. Hopefully, it will give you a little insight into my style and approach to photography. 

If you have any questions or you’re ready to reach out and book a session, fill out the contact form or shoot me a message at [email protected].

Cheers!

Sessions

MATERNITY

At home or outdoors, maternity sessions capture this unique time in your life while you anticipate the arrival of a new baby and celebrate the beauty and strength of the expectant mother.  Your future children will delight in seeing when they were “inside Mama’s belly”.

NEWBORN

Welcoming a baby into your life is a major transition, whether is your first baby or you are adding to your family.  Lifestyle newborn session are held in the comfort of your own home. I capture the dynamics of home life with a newborn, as you find your footing as new parents or your other children get to know the new baby.  And, of course, document those newborn folds and tiny features!

FAMILY

Childhood is fleeting.  Parenthood is hard.  I capture the good times, your connection and love, those unforgettable seasons and stages in a beautiful and artistic way, before all you have left is blurry photos on your phone.  Whether you’re documenting a milestone or it’s your semi-annual family portrait, each session is like a time capsule in your familie’s life journey.

We met at Crescent Beach in South Surrey on a chilly but sunny day in October.  The autumn winds had blown away many of the fall leaves already but we were just happy to get a nice day and take advantage of golden hour.

"She captured our elopement... so beautifully and authentically."

We’re so thrilled with our photos from Paris! She captured our elopement in Salt Spring Island — the emotions, the island setting and all the little details — so beautifully and authentically. We’re not used to being photographed, but we felt quite natural with her calm guidance. We flew her from Vancouver and back by seaplane, so we only had a couple hours, but she was efficient … we ended up not only with quality but a good number of photos as well. We could not have chosen a better photographer in all aspects. Highly recommend!!
