welcome to my {blog} site

Hi I'm Kate and this is my blogsite. After much soul searching I've decided to give up my classic website in favour of this blog format so I can stay more current with the images I'm showing. This is the place to hear about special announcements, view my most recent work and catch some sneak peeks. This site will have both professional photos from sessions and photos of my favourite models (my two daughters). So check back when you can for new posts and feel free to make any comments, I would love to hear from you.

So I figure I should give you a little background into who I am. First of all I'm NOT a writer. I am a lifestyle photographer based in Vancouver, BC. I shoot mostly on location whether that be outside or at your home. I use available light, this means that I prefer to use all natural light but if there's not enough available I have other sources. My shooting style is laid back and fun, I want to try to capture the true essence of my subjects not the portrait studio version.

A little about me. I worked as an art director in advertising for 12 years supervising too many photoshoots to count. I have two beautiful girls who keep me on my toes everyday. I hate having my photograph taken (ironic right?). I love every aspect of photography.

Four Generations {vancouver's fine art photographer}

Being a photographer that prefers shooting outside while living in Vancouver during the winter months can be a bit challenging. For the last few weeks we have seen nothing but rain. And not the kind of drizzle that you can just work through but pouring rain. But thankfully four generations of lovely ladies in one photograph is a very good reason for the sun to come out. I credit you with making the sun shine.

Enjoy your sneak peek ladies.





Future Rock Star {vancouver's fine art family photographer}

These two are going to keep their parents on their toes. I don't think I've seen so much personality squished into two little bodies as this brother and sister team. If Miss C follows her older brother's negotiating skills mum & dad are going to be in for a bumpy ride. Serious fun.






Down by the Bay {vancouver's fine art family photographer}

It's always great shooting the "D" family and today was no exception. Having only girls myself I get a really big kick out of hanging out with little boys and these boys have personality to spare.




Time Flies {vancouver's fine art family photographer}

It's shocking to me how fast these kids grow. It seems like only yesterday that I was taking newborn pictures of this little guy and his big brothers (here) and yet here he is walking around and a year old. Still being tormented by his older brothers though, nice to see that something don't change.






More Multiples {vancouver's fine art family photographer}

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of photographing two highly energetic twin boys. Well it turns out that before having them their mother gave birth to triplets. That's right two sets of multiples! After meeting this teenage trio I have to say that I understand why she went ahead and had some more. Sorry for the delay in your sneak peek "A", but here it is.






Sneak Peek {vancouver's fine art family photographer}

A quick sneak peek for the "B" family. Your proofs will be ready very soon.





A Vancouver Shoot {portraits by the sea}

So on the last day of the Harmony Arts Festival Portraits by the Sea it decided to rain. Most people postpone due to rain as it is not ideal for pictures, but not this gang. Like true Vancouverites they braved the weather and we had a blast.






Big Smiles {portraits by the sea}

There were lots of big smiles from this crew and a willingness to be front and centre from the kids. Sometimes even completely blocking out their parents, don't worry R we did manage to get your face in there.





Cousins {portraits by the sea}

I met the cousins of this little group earlier in the week and wasn't quite surprised at the family resemblance between the little girls. I would swear that the two of them could be sisters rather than cousins.






Boys Will be Boys {portraits by the sea}

It may sound strange but I really get a kick out of the kids that make me work the hardest. And this little spitfire was no exception, he had me on the run quite literally. It's a good thing that his big sister was willing to keep up.
