When choosing a photographer, asking yourself what type of lighting they use is important. Lighting has a lot to do with how your images will look and what style they’ll represent. We love natural lighting for our newborn sessions not only because it’s conducive to in-home sessions, but because it provides depth, texture and feeling to your images, so we can capture these special moments for you as authentically as possible.

Baby Names We Love Starting with ‘B’ | Newborn Photographer
Baby names, where to start? I read book after book and searched for the longest time and I know firsthand it can be hard to pick a name. Even when you finally have your short list, it may not align with your partner. In no particular order, we’ve curated some unique names that we love starting with the letter ‘B’.
Olympic Village Newborn Session | Vancouver Baby Photographer
It’s been so amazing to be able to capture so many families this winter with in-home sessions (although we still had some great outdoor maternity sessions over the winter!). Moving into Spring, I’m excited for more outdoor sessions at the beach or at a meadow with grassy fields. Yet still, there is something about in-home sessions that I absolutely love and the best part is we can do them all year, for all types of sessions.

Pink Newborn Photo Ideas | Valentine’s Day | Vancouver Baby Photographer
With Valentine’s Day coming up we just had to share some of our favourite newborn sessions using the color pink! While our style is neutral and minimalist, that doesn’t mean we don’t use color. Soft colors like pale pink for a gentle pop of color, and a simple matching headband can add that subtle hint that you’re looking for without overpowering your images.
Baby Girl Newborn Session | Kim Forrester Photography
Baby photo ideas for newborn girls are often full of stereotypical flowers and cutsie props. For a feminine spin to neutral, simple photos, I love using a touch of soft pink and a delicate headband.

Closeup Newborn Photo Ideas | Vancouver Photographer Kim Forrester
Baby’s toes, eyelashes, and all the little details are even more magical when captured by a photographer experienced in “macro” newborn photography, ie. closeup photos. It isn’t enough to just snap any photo of each part of them, as composition and artistry is even more important when you have very little in a photo.
Natural Newborn Photography | Vancouver, BC
Simple newborn photos make for the most beautiful art. This family was all about the “less is more” approach, wanting minimal props and posing.
