Newborn, maternity, baby and family photographer working from a proper studio on Horseshoe Way, with outdoor sessions around Richmond as an option. Props and wraps are supplied and the studio is kept warm for newborn shoots.
Newborn sessions run on a very short window, and that is the first thing to understand about booking one. The classic sleepy, curled images are usually made in the first couple of weeks, which means the sensible time to enquire is before the baby arrives rather than after. Studios in this field book on exactly that logic, holding dates loosely against a due date.
Working from a proper studio rather than a home setup changes what is possible. Controlled light, backdrops and enough floor space make the difference between a session that survives a bad nap and one that does not, and warmth matters more than anything else when the subject is undressed and three days old. Outdoor sessions around Richmond are the alternative, and the city gives good options: the dyke trails, the grass and open sky at Terra Nova, and the boats and boardwalk at Steveston. Each of those looks completely different in July and in November, which is worth thinking about when picking a date.
The studio is on Horseshoe Way in south Richmond, in the light industrial belt near Ironwood. Photography studios cluster in areas like this everywhere, because they need square footage, ceiling height and loading access rather than a shopfront, and industrial units deliver all three at a price a retail street cannot. Do not judge the address. Settle in writing what a session includes and how prints and digital files are handled, and ask about turnaround, because a newborn session photographed in week two and delivered in month four is a common and avoidable disappointment.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
