As an Okanagan Family Photographer, I love working with families that I know or have a special connection with.

With adorable Zoe, we met her and her family a few years ago when they moved here from Vancouver Island. She was only three at the time, but was attending the same pre-school that my son did. Creekside Montesorri. Now that my son has graduated from their program, we miss it very much and it was lovely to hear Zoe is enjoying her kindergarten year there.

Both mom and dad were born in Austria and immigrated to Canada a few years prior to moving here to the Okanagan. Elisabeth, the mom, and I, had been talking about doing a family session for a while, so when she mentioned her mom would be visiting for Christmas from Vienna, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to do a family session. It’s always so wonderful to involve family who live far away. Christmas is actually a really busy time for me with all the families who are together celebrating for the holidays. Such important memories to capture!

On Christmas day, my one request of my husband, was that he we go as a family for a winter walk. Living close to the BX Ranch Dog Park, we thought it would be perfect. It was so magical, that I knew I had to take Zoe and her family there. Not only is it a joyous location because of all the dogs, but the trails meander and wind through the woods, along BX Creek. And with the especially cold temperature we have been having (thankfully not during their session) there was so much gorgeous ice too.

There is so much love present in their beautiful little family and it was an absolute joy to capture all of them over the holidays.
