12 Days of Christmas (12 of My Favourite Moments from 2021)
What a year we have all had! With a new normal on the horizon and a brand new year ahead of us all, I thought it was worth revisiting some of these magical moments I captured on camera. I want to mention that when I was compiling this blog post for you, I was smiling the whole time. This post is all about treasuring the here and the now. Like the previous year, which you can re-explore here: My Favourite Photos from 2020 & Why (Plus My Hopes for 2021); this year brought with it a real sense of celebration for life, in all its different colours and moments, while I was photographing them. This post could not have been made without all of your amazing help. Let's take a stroll down memory lane and see the "12 days of Christmas" (a.k.a. what my personal favourite moments from 2021 in photos looked like!). 1. Lifestyle/Studio PhotosI love having the option to do indoor or outdoor photos depending on the desired outcome.
2. SpringThis year's spring sessions were rare. The cherry blossoms and the tulips lined up perfectly.
3. SummerI love when opportunities present themselves and I can share that with my clients. Who doesn’t love a Dad & sons photo with a cool truck?
4. FallEveryone loves a great fall photo. This year was challenging with the amount of rain that we got. But there were so many beautiful moments regardless!
The gentleman whose headshots I did in the studio, and then I got to meet the rest of his amazing family where they celebrated life and gratitude. So many stories, so many amazing people that come into my life. 5. WinterSnow isn’t always a given in our part of the world. This couple’s wedding will be next December.
6. GradThis year was a bit like last year where there was no official Prom. However, I was so happy to see that so many people booked photoshoots for their grads this year. It was a busy time, but so much fun. One of my favourites was being able to go to Squamish where I spent the first 6 years of my married life, and take photos of a dear friend’s daughter and her best friends.
Then, there are the girls that have danced their way through school together. Belcarra Park was the perfect backdrop. 7. WeddingsAnother year of changing wedding plans to fit the restrictions of the day. It was a busy year for weddings and each one was so unique. It was hard to pick just a few of my favourites.
And this last couple…what a journey. My husband and I got to know them early last year. They had 2 other wedding dates that didn’t happen. Finally on November 20, they got married. So much love and joy. And how about that car! It was a show stopper. 8-11: Baby's First Year3 of my favorite things wrapped into 1! This is such a fun package. It includes a bonus Gender Reveal session (perfect if you're finding out ahead of time), a Maternity Session, a Newborn Session (in-studio/lifestyle session at your home or outdoors), 6 month photos, and a Cake Smash & Splash. This year I have quite a few clients who are in the midst of this package. The first 4 images you see here are from a family I have known for quite some time!
An outdoor session is also super fun. Babies seem to be way more chill when they are outside. This sweet little girl is a cousin to the baby boy in the last photo. And then there is the option of a Lifestyle at Home session.
This little princess is so loved. I had the awesome opportunity of photographing her parents' wedding in Ucluelet 2 years ago. 12. Woodstone CottageMany of you have followed our journey of having a tiny cottage built in our backyard. Hubby gets the shed in the back. I get the gorgeous veranda on the front.
It was ready in time for Mother’s Day. These daughters planned a shoot to celebrate their mom. Currently I am in the midst of Christmas at the Woodstone Cottage. I am loving the reaction when clients step into the backyard to see the magical set-up.
I met this first family as a result of my porch sessions last year. They have become very dear to me. The cuteness overload for the next little guy is off the charts.
And finally, the family behind the gorgeous keepsakes this year! It has been an absolute joy to work with a local business—Perfectly Imperfekt Decor. What were your favourite memories?I hope you enjoyed this stroll down memory lane with me! I would love to hear from you what your most memorable and precious moments were this past year.
