It’s my second Fall in Victoria and it’s easily become my favourite season for family photos! The sunsets come early which makes it easier for families with younger children to enjoy the golden hour for their session and the sunsets this time of year are out of this world.

I’m so lucky to have met Christine and her beautiful family this Fall when they were all together on Vancouver Island!

I had such an amazing time meeting up with Phil and his adorable kids while they were visiting Vancouver Island over the Thanksgiving weekend!

Esquimalt Lagoon has quickly become my favourite spot for Fall family photos. With views of the ocean, Fisgard Lighthouse, City of Victoria, snow capped peaks of the Olympic mountains, paired with unreal sunsets, dramatic skies, and a totally different location look on the other side of the Lagoon, Esquimalt Lagoon truly has it all!

I recently met up with Kati, Joey, and their beautiful little peanut Arianna at Esquimalt Lagoon for their family session. The wind took us by surprise, but luckily sweet momma Kati had packed lots of warm clothes and blankets to keep Arianna cozy and warm.

We just hit our one year mark living in Victoria, BC and all I have to say is: I love it here. I know that rainy winters aren’t for everyone, but I’ll take it over the cold any day.

As much as I’m loving life here, it was much more of an adjustment moving back to Canada than I had ever imagined. After spending three and a half years immersed in a new culture and way of life, we definitely had some growing pains settling into a new pace of life, but seem to have finally found our footing. The summer weather definitely helps!
