      Newborn Photoshoot At Home with Grandparents | Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey Photographer
Here at Kim Forrester Photography, we get the pleasure of photographing so many babies with their grandparents and other very special relatives. Doing the photos at home makes this so much easier, as grandparents are sometimes already living with or visiting the new parents, and there’s no need to coordinate family members traveling to a studio.

      In-Home Newborn Session by Kim | Greater Vancouver Mobile Studio
This gorgeous in-home newborn photo shoot for baby #3 was shot in this family’s new home in the Deep Cove area of North Vancouver, BC.

As moms ourselves, we know how chaotic life is with a new baby and trust us when we say the clutter - or even a renovation - won’t be an issue.
