Newborn Photography Baby Girl | Evelyne

I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family in my photography studio in Richmond BC. Evelyne was so adorable and even gave me a few soft smiles while photographing her. I’ve found that one of the meanings of the name Evelyne is ‘peace and harmony’, no wonder why her newborn photography session turned out great! See some of the best pictures below.

Astronaut Spaceship Cake Smash Theme | Ayrton

by Amanda Dams

Baby Ayrton had this very special cake smash theme to celebrate his first year! Mama and Dad are amazing designers and together they were able to help me create this unique setup, full of imagination and tons of memories.

By the way, Dad told me they named baby Ayrton after the famous Brazilian (yes, from my Country!) racing driver Ayrton Senna, which I remember from my childhood.

Maternity Photography Studio Session Richmond BC | Sida

by Amanda Dams

Pregnancy is a time of great change. Maternity portraits are a fantastic way to capture your body’s changes as you await the arrival of the new addition to your family. The ideal time for a maternity session is between 30-36 weeks. We want your belly to be beautiful and round but it would best to get the shots before you are too uncomfortable. If you are looking for a great experience and beautiful portraits of you (and your partner/older kids) during this special moment of your family’s life, contact Amanda Dams Photography and book your Maternity Studio Session. Spots for 2019 are very limited, so we highly recommend to book in advance.

4-Month-Old Baby Session in Richmond BC | Baby Bani

by Amanda Dams

Times flies and when you realize your baby is already 4 months old! At this age, babies can now wave their arms and kick their legs. They are responding even more and even give you smiles! Babies change so much in so short time and it’s so important to capture each and every milestone of them! I would love to work with your family again and create beautiful memories of these moments.

I offer ‘Tummy Time Session’ for babies from 3-5 months of age that are able to hold their head up. You can find more information about this kind of session at our Baby Info Session.

At this age, your baby definitely deserves great photographs, but also requires some special understanding and expertise, they are very wobbly and easily frustrated (but you already know that!). They love to play and to smile but also we tend to get a lot of serious-looking faces at these sessions, so don’t get disappointed, serious faces are beautiful and cute too! Poses are limited and most of the shots are taken from above with baby lying down or on their tummy.

Some cultures celebrate the 100 days of the baby so this session is also known as 100 days photo session.

Enjoy some of my favourite images from sweet baby Bani’s gallery. She is the cutest little girl and it was a pleasure working with her family.

Newborn At Home Lifestyle Session Vancouver BC | Lara

by Amanda Dams

At-home lifestyle newborn sessions are about the connection and love that family members already have for this new life. I’ll capture special moments with each family member with the baby, as well as, the family all together. If siblings are involved, we usually take care of those photos first so that they can go and play during the rest of the session. I love when family pets can join in too. It can be helpful to have a friend or family member at the house who can watch siblings during the rest of the session so that Mom and Dad can be in photos with the baby. There will also be time for photos of the baby alone; these are usually done when the baby is sleepiest. I take photos of babies swaddled or undressed and they are posed in a way you’d find them naturally.

The session takes place at client’s home and there is no travel fee for Metro Vancouver Area. I usually shoot in the nursery, master bedroom, and living room. We can also take some photos outdoors if the weather permits (ideal for spring and summer due dates!). Do not worry about your house being a mess—you just had a baby! All you need to do to prepare is open the blinds/curtains to let in as much light as possible. I’ll quickly push things out of the area I’m shooting so that your home will appear to be spotless in the photos. The only thing I will ask you to do is have your bed made with a neutral quilt/comforter on top. Your bed makes for a great place for cuddly family photos!

The first time I photographed baby Lara was the day after she was born, on her Fresh 48 session. 5 weeks later I went to their home for a lifestyle newborn session and you can see how much she has grown up in only a few weeks!

I absolutely love her nursery and that wallpaper was stunning!

This newborn at home session was done late last year and since it was almost Christmas, they decide to create some family photos for their Christmas cards! I wish you could hear the Christmas songs that were playing, which made this session even more special. Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I love creating these memories for this lovely family.
