Discovering the Magic of Newborn & Baby Portraits in the Heart of the City

There’s something beautifully fleeting about the newborn stage—those soft sighs, sleepy eyes, and tiny curled toes. As a baby photographer in Vancouver, I get to witness the most tender beginnings of life, and let me tell you—it’s pure magic. At Artin Photography, tucked away in the heart of Port Moody (a stone’s throw from Vancouver), I get the privilege of turning those once-in-a-lifetime moments into heirlooms that families will cherish forever.

The thing is, babies don’t wait. They grow—fast. One minute you’re holding them in the hospital blanket, and the next they’re crawling toward your camera with a mischievous grin. That’s why capturing those first few weeks and early milestones isn’t just about getting a pretty picture. It’s about freezing time. It’s about making the fleeting, permanent.

I still remember when Nathan’s mom reached out to us looking for baby photography in Vancouver. Her little guy had surprised everyone—arriving a whole month early. Dad was serving in the army and couldn’t be present at the session, but he sent along his treasured baseball glove and cap to be part of it. That catcher’s mitt next to Nathan’s tiny hands? A moment we’ll never forget—and neither will they.

That’s what portrait photography means to me. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about telling your family’s story, however it unfolds—surprises, props, missing pieces, and all. Every session brings a new heartbeat into the studio, a new bond, a new story to tell. Whether you’re from Vancouver, Coquitlam, Surrey, or right here in Port Moody, I welcome you into this little creative space where memories are made.

Why Baby Photography Is More Than Just Cute Pictures

Capturing More Than a Smile—We’re Freezing a Feeling

Let’s be honest—babies are adorable. Chubby cheeks, sleepy yawns, tiny fingers gripping yours for the first time. But baby photography, especially here in Vancouver, is about way more than snapping a cute Instagram moment. It’s about connection. Memory. Storytelling.

When you walk into my studio at Artin Photography, you’re not just coming in for a shoot—you’re bringing your whole world with you. I’ve photographed babies born early, like little Nathan, and others who arrived right on schedule but with big personalities. Some are calm, some curious, and some… well, let’s just say they have opinions. And that’s the beauty of it—every child is different. Every story is unique. That’s what I try to bring out in each image.

Think about this: what do you remember from your own childhood? Maybe there’s a photo on your mom’s wall—slightly faded, a little crooked—but it brings a rush of warmth every time you pass it. That’s what we’re making here. Visual time capsules that whisper, “You were here. You were loved. You mattered.”

Honestly, I’ve had parents tear up in the studio. I’ve had grandparents FaceTime in during a session just to catch a glimpse of their new grandbaby. And I’ve had quiet moments where we all just stood still—awed by the gentle power of new life.

So no—it’s not “just pictures.” It’s memory-making. It’s storytelling. It’s a gentle kind of legacy.


💡Did You Know?
According to a recent survey by Professional Photographers of Canada, 82% of parents who booked newborn sessions said they felt more connected to their baby’s early days because of those portraits. It’s not just emotional—it’s psychological too. Visual memories reinforce emotional bonds.


What Makes Vancouver a Dream Location for Baby Photography

From Rain-Kissed Parks to Cozy Studios—There’s No Place Like It

Let me tell you—baby photography in Vancouver isn’t just about the baby (though let’s be real, they steal the show). It’s also about the vibe. The setting. The energy around the session. And here in this city? We’re spoiled.

One of my favorite things about living and working in the Greater Vancouver Area is the versatility. You want snow-dusted trees in the background? We’ve got it in winter. Cherry blossoms or lush greens? Hello, spring and summer. Moody fall leaves with cozy sweaters and beanies? Say no more. And if you’re more into the urban-chic feel, downtown offers amazing textures—brick walls, historic doorways, and cafés with charm.

But here’s the thing: when it comes to photographing newborns and little ones, comfort is key. That’s why most of our sessions happen right in my Port Moody studio, just a short drive from Vancouver, Burnaby, or Coquitlam. It’s warm, quiet, and fully stocked with wraps, props, white noise machines, and a whole lot of love. No wind, no rain, no distractions—just a peaceful space where your baby can nap while we create magic.

“Your baby only stays this little for a blink. Vancouver’s beauty helps us frame that blink into something timeless.”

Whether we’re working in-studio or stepping outside for a few quick family portraits near Rocky Point Park or along the Burrard Inlet, the natural beauty of this region becomes part of the story.

When Is the Best Time to Book a Baby Photoshoot?

Timing Isn’t Everything—But It Sure Makes a Difference

I get this question all the time: “When should I book our baby’s photoshoot?” And the truth is, it depends on what kind of photos you want—but let me walk you through the sweet spots.

For newborn photography, the golden window is usually between 5 to 14 days after birth. Why so early? Well, that’s when babies are still super sleepy, snuggly, and naturally curled up—perfect for those classic womb-like poses. Their skin is also at its smoothest, and they haven’t yet hit that fussy growth spurt phase that tends to sneak in around week three.

But don’t stress if your baby’s a little older! I’ve photographed babies at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, even 2 months. You won’t get the same squishy poses, but you will get eye contact, facial expressions, and even that first gummy smile.

If you’re more into milestone sessions, here are some key ages I recommend:

  • 3 Months – Holding their head up, chubby cheeks galore
  • 6 Months – Sitting up (with or without help), tons of personality
  • 9 Months – Crawling, clapping, super interactive
  • 12 Months – First birthday, often paired with a cake smash (and yes, it’s as fun as it sounds 🍰)

🎯 Pro Tip: It’s best to book your newborn session before baby arrives—ideally in your second or early third trimester. That way, we can pencil in your due date and adjust the session once your baby makes their grand entrance (early or late!).

Finding the Right Baby Photographer in Vancouver

Because You’re Not Just Hiring a Camera—You’re Trusting a Human

Let’s get real—Vancouver’s full of talented photographers. A quick Google search will throw a bunch of names at you. But when it comes to baby photography, you’re not just hiring someone who can take a nice picture. You’re trusting a stranger with your brand new little human. That’s huge.

So how do you know who’s the right fit?

Here’s what I tell parents who reach out to me at Artin Photography:
Look for someone who blends heart with skill. Experience matters, yes—but so does personality. You want someone who knows how to swaddle safely, spot a sleepy window, calm a fussy baby, and crack a smile from a nervous new parent (because yes, I see you too, Dad).


📝 Quick Checklist: What to Ask Before You Book

  • How many years have you been photographing newborns? (Not just weddings or events)
  • Do you have newborn safety training? (This is a big one)
  • Can I see a full gallery, not just Instagram highlights?
  • Do you provide props, wraps, and backdrops?
  • What happens if my baby is fussy or doesn’t cooperate?
  • Do you offer in-studio and at-home options?

🧡 My Promise to You
When you book with me, I don’t just show up with a camera. I show up with a warm space, a heart full of patience, and a plan tailored to your family. We talk in advance. I ask about your preferences, colors, cultural elements, props, and pacing. It’s not just about creating a gallery—it’s about making you feel seen, heard, and at ease. And honestly? That comfort shows in the final images.

Just like little Nathan’s mom—she brought baseball gear to include Dad, who was away on duty. Those tiny moments? They make the session unforgettable.

“It’s not the lens that makes the photo—it’s the trust behind it.”


📍Local Tip: Check reviews on Google, browse full galleries on the studio website, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. A good photographer will welcome them.


Studio Sessions vs. In-Home Lifestyle Photography

Same Baby, Totally Different Vibes—What’s Right for You?

Let’s talk setting—because where you photograph your baby can totally change the look, the mood, and the experience of your session. If you’re debating between booking a studio session or going for a more relaxed lifestyle shoot at home, I’ve got you covered.

Honestly? There’s no “better” option—just what works best for your family.


🏡 In-Home Lifestyle Sessions: Cozy, Candid, and Personal
If you’re someone who loves natural light, casual vibes, and real-life moments (think cuddles on the couch, baby yawning in the crib, fur siblings peeking in), a lifestyle session at home might be your thing.

Pros:

  • No packing the diaper bag or rushing out the door
  • Baby stays in their familiar environment (aka fewer tears)
  • Great for capturing family dynamics and home details (nursery, heirlooms, pets)

Things to keep in mind:

  • Lighting matters—a lot. Homes with lots of natural light work best
  • The style is less posed and more documentary
  • There may be fewer backdrop and prop options

🏢 Studio Sessions at Artin Photography: Clean, Classic, and Calm
Now, studio sessions are my jam. I’ve designed my Port Moody studio to be a cozy little baby oasis—complete with temperature control, soothing sounds, a prop closet that would make Pinterest blush, and soft lighting that flatters everyone (yes, even if you haven’t slept in days).

Pros:

  • Controlled lighting = consistently beautiful results
  • Access to a curated selection of wraps, outfits, and props
  • Posing expertise to create artistic, timeless portraits

Also? You can totally zone out and sip coffee while I work my baby-whispering magic. Many parents tell me it’s the most relaxing part of their week!

“Your job? Just show up. My job? Everything else.”


🛋️ Still Not Sure? Here’s a Quick Breakdown:

My Take as a Photographer
Many of my Vancouver-area clients choose studio sessions for newborns and milestone portraits (especially if they want that soft, dreamy look). Lifestyle sessions are a hit for families with toddlers or when siblings and pets are involved. And yes—you can always book both!


What to Expect During Your Baby Photography Session

Spoiler Alert: It’s Not as Stressful as You Think

Here’s the thing—most parents walk into their session a little nervous. They’re sleep-deprived, unsure if their baby will “cooperate,” and maybe even wondering if they’ll make it through without a meltdown (baby or parent, let’s be honest 😅). So let me ease your mind: you’re not expected to do anything except show up. I’ve got the rest.

Whether it’s your first session or your fourth, I walk you through every step of the way. From your first email to the final photo delivery, you’ll feel supported, heard, and honestly—kind of pampered.


👶 Here’s How a Typical Newborn Session Flows at Artin Photography

  1. Arrival & Settling In
    You arrive at our cozy Port Moody studio, greeted by soft lighting and warm air (set just right to keep baby comfy). I’ll show you around, offer a drink, and give your little one time to nurse, bottle-feed, or settle down.
  2. Wraps, Props, and Set Choices
    We’ve already chatted in advance about colors and themes, so everything’s prepped. I’ll let you browse the options and we’ll finalize your set(s) for the shoot.
  3. The Baby Whispering Begins
    This part’s on me. I’ll gently pose your baby into snuggly positions while using soft shushing sounds, soothing motions, and a whole bag of baby-calming tricks I’ve picked up over the years. You sit back, relax, and watch the magic unfold.
  4. Family & Sibling Shots (Optional)
    Want to jump in for a few shots with your partner or your baby’s older siblings? Absolutely! I’ll guide you into flattering, natural-looking poses. These are often the most meaningful moments in the session.
  5. Wrap-Up & Next Steps
    We finish up when baby cues us—usually within 2 to 3 hours. Then, within a couple of weeks, you’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery to select your favorites from.

“It’s not just about pretty pictures—it’s about creating a calm, connected experience that feels good in the moment, too.”


🍼 What Should You Bring?
Here’s a little list to make your life easier:

  • Extra diapers & wipes
  • A change of clothes (for baby and for you—spit-up happens!)
  • Baby’s pacifier or soothing item
  • Snacks if you’re breastfeeding or staying a while
  • Any heirlooms or personal items you’d like in the photos

💬 A Quick Note About Fussiness
Every baby has their own rhythm. Some sleep through the whole thing. Others need breaks. That’s totally normal—and I plan for it. There’s no rushing, no pressure. We go at baby’s pace, always.


Adorable Baby Photography Themes & Styles

From Soft & Dreamy to Bold & Cultural—Let’s Make It Yours

Now we get to the fun part—styling your session. I love this because it’s where your personality really shines. Whether you’re into classic neutrals, soft florals, rich cultural traditions, or something delightfully quirky (yes, I’ve done baby superhero themes 😄), your baby’s session should feel like you. This isn’t cookie-cutter stuff—we’re creating a little visual love letter to your family.


🎨 Popular Styles Vancouver Families Love

  • Classic Neutrals
    Think whites, creams, soft greys, and gentle textures. These are timeless and calming—and they’ll never go out of style.
  • Soft Florals & Pastels
    Especially lovely for baby girls or springtime sessions, florals bring a fresh, romantic vibe.
  • Earthy & Boho
    Natural tones, wooden props, greenery, macramé backdrops—this vibe is huge right now and feels very West Coast.
  • Cultural Touches
    I absolutely love when families incorporate heritage elements—Persian rugs, Chinese red envelopes, Indian bangles, or traditional fabrics. These pieces don’t just look beautiful—they tell a story. A legacy.
  • Whimsical Themes
    From woodland creatures to storybook characters, I’ve styled it all. One little guy even came in with a miniature hockey stick (hello, Canada 🇨🇦)!

🧺 Props or No Props? Here’s My Take
Props can elevate a photo—but they shouldn’t overwhelm it. I use soft, baby-safe materials and keep the focus where it belongs: on your little one. That said, if you’ve got a sentimental item—like Dad’s old baseball glove (remember Nathan’s shoot?)—bring it. Those shots hit different.


📷 We’ve Got a Whole Studio Closet Ready for You
When you book a session at our Port Moody studio, you’ll have access to:

  • Handcrafted wraps and knitwear in all colors
  • Layered blankets and textures
  • Wooden beds, baskets, and soft beanbags
  • Flower crowns, bonnets, and sleepy caps
  • Seasonal and holiday setups

Don’t worry, we’ll plan all this together before the session so nothing feels rushed or random.


“Babies don’t need much to look magical—but a little creative touch? That’s where the fun begins.”


Safety First: What Parents Should Know

Because Cute Isn’t Worth It If It’s Not Safe

Let’s talk about something that should always come before aesthetics—your baby’s safety. I can’t stress this enough: in newborn photography, experience isn’t just about getting the lighting right. It’s about knowing when a pose is safe, when a baby needs a break, and how to create a calm, secure environment from the moment you walk in.

Honestly? I’ve seen far too many “DIY” setups on social media that make me cringe. Just because it looks cute doesn’t mean it’s safe—and that’s where trusting a trained professional makes all the difference.


🧠 What I’ve Learned from Years Behind the Lens

  • Babies can’t regulate their temperature, so we keep the studio warm and cozy.
  • Certain poses (like the froggy pose) should never be done without composite editing—that’s where I merge multiple safe shots into one final image.
  • I always support the baby’s head and limbs—no exceptions.
  • If a baby resists a pose? We skip it. Full stop. No shot is worth forcing.

“Baby-led posing means we listen to their cues—and that’s when the real magic happens.”


Here’s What to Expect From a Safe Newborn Photographer

  • Certification or training in newborn safety (I’ve invested in ongoing workshops and mentorships for exactly this reason)
  • Hands always on or near baby—nothing risky, ever
  • No props or gear that could collapse or cause discomfort
  • A slow, gentle workflow with plenty of time for breaks, feeding, and snuggles

📍Local Confidence, Right Here in Port Moody
Families across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and beyond trust Artin Photography not just for beautiful images—but for a process that feels safe, respectful, and calm. This matters, especially when you’re trusting someone with your 7-day-old miracle.

And don’t worry—before every session, I send a prep guide and go over everything in advance. Got questions? I want you to ask.


👶 “I was so nervous handing my newborn to anyone—even for a second. But Mary made me feel instantly at ease. I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing.”
—Maya, Coquitlam mom of two


What to Wear (and What Not To) for Baby Photos

Keep It Simple, Keep It Soft, Keep It You

Let’s get one thing straight: your baby is the star. Not the outfit, not the props, not the backdrop. So when it comes to what to wear for your baby photography session in Vancouver, think timeless, cozy, and soft.

That said, this is also your chance to create images you’ll hang on your wall forever—so a little planning goes a long way. The good news? You don’t need to bring a suitcase of clothes. A few thoughtful choices are more than enough.


🧣 For Baby: Soft, Neutral, and Comfortable
Babies photograph best in:

  • Creams, soft greys, warm taupes, or gentle pastels
  • Knit onesies, muslin swaddles, or simple wraps
  • No logos, no loud patterns, no stiff collars

Honestly, some of my favorite shots are of babies in nothing but a snug wrap or on a textured blanket. Their natural softness just shines without distraction.

And if you’re booking with me at Artin Photography, you don’t need to stress—our studio is stocked with a full collection of wraps, bonnets, little outfits, and textures in every shade imaginable. We’ll chat beforehand to get a sense of your style, and I’ll have everything prepped when you arrive.


👨‍👩‍👧 For Parents & Siblings: Stay Coordinated, Not Matchy
When it comes to family or sibling photos, the trick is to complement, not clone.

DO:

  • Stick to a cohesive color palette (like neutrals or warm earth tones)
  • Choose solid colors or subtle textures
  • Keep accessories simple and natural

AVOID:

  • Neon colors, busy prints, or clothes with words/logos
  • Super-tight or uncomfortable clothing—you’re holding a baby, you should feel good!
  • All-white outfits under bright lighting (they can reflect too harshly)

“If you’re unsure—send me a few outfit photos. I love helping families coordinate and will happily give feedback ahead of time.”


👕 Quick Outfit Planning Table

Family MemberBest PicksAvoid
BabySoft wraps, knit sets, bonnetsZippers, stiff collars, logos
MomNeutral dress, soft blouseBusy prints, bright neons
DadFitted tee, henley, button-upCaps, large graphics
SiblingsLinen rompers, simple setsCharacters, sparkles

💬 Bonus Tip: Bring a backup outfit. Babies spit up, siblings get snack stains—it’s all part of the fun. Having one more clean set (for everyone!) can save the day.

📞 Call me at (778) 899-0537 or send me a message to ask about current session availability and seasonal offers.


Turning Your Baby Photos into Keepsakes

Because These Moments Deserve More Than a Folder on Your Phone

Let me guess—you’ve got a thousand photos of your baby already. Most of them live somewhere between your camera roll and the cloud. Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: those images matter. But when you turn your baby photography session into tangible keepsakes—printed albums, wall art, framed portraits—they go from “pretty pictures” to family legacy. And trust me, there’s nothing like flipping through a real photo album years from now, watching your child point and say, “That’s me when I was little?”


📚 What Can You Do With Your Photos?
At Artin Photography, I offer a variety of premium-quality products designed to bring your memories to life:

  • Heirloom Albums
    Hand-bound, layflat albums made with thick archival pages—perfect for telling the full story of your session. “Our album sits on the coffee table, and every guest ends up flipping through it.”
  • Framed Wall Prints
    Choose from classic wood, modern metal, or float frames. These are gallery-quality and ready to hang.
  • Canvas Wall Collections
    Soft, textured, and oh-so-timeless. We design your layout together so it fits perfectly in your home.
  • Keepsake Boxes
    These handcrafted boxes include a curated set of matted prints—ideal for gifting to grandparents (hint hint).

🖨️ Why Printing Still Matters
In a digital world, printed photos have a strange kind of magic.
They slow you down. They invite connection.
They last.

And let’s be honest—tech fails. Phones break. Files get lost. But a framed photo on the wall? That’s going nowhere.

“Photos are meant to be felt, not just scrolled past.”


🛍️ How Ordering Works
Once your final gallery is ready, you’ll be invited to a guided selection process where we’ll review your favorite images and talk about display options. I’ll help you choose layouts, colors, and sizing based on your space and taste. Whether you want a single statement piece or a full gallery wall, we’ll create something beautiful together.

And yes—I use Vancouver-based print labs whenever possible to support local and ensure top-tier quality with fast turnaround times.


Real Vancouver Parents Share Their Experience

Honest Words from Families Just Like Yours

I could talk all day about what makes a session with me special—but I know there’s something way more powerful about hearing it from people who’ve been exactly where you are right now. Nervous. Curious. Maybe even a little overwhelmed (babies will do that, right?).

So here are a few heartfelt notes from some of the amazing families I’ve worked with across Vancouver, Port Moody, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and beyond. These stories stick with me—and I hope they help you feel at home, too.


💬 “We didn’t know what to expect… but Mary made it feel like home.”
— Alex & Jenna, Vancouver

“We booked a newborn session after our daughter came early and caught us off guard. From the first call, Mary was kind, patient, and clearly experienced. The studio felt so warm and peaceful—and she treated our little girl like gold. The images? We cried when we saw them.”


💬 “Even with a fussy baby and a wild toddler, she pulled it off.”
— Samira, Burnaby

“I was skeptical about getting both my 9-day-old and 3-year-old to cooperate. Mary not only got them to settle, but captured the sweetest moments between them. I don’t know how she did it. Real magic.”


💬 “My husband was deployed. The baseball prop photos still make me tear up.”
— Nathan’s Mom, Port Moody

“Mary made space for our story. My husband couldn’t be there, but she encouraged me to bring his baseball glove and jersey. Now we have this photo of our tiny boy curled up inside the mitt. It’s the most meaningful photo we’ve ever had.”


💬 “We came in strangers and left feeling like friends.”
— Rachel & Evan, Coquitlam

“It wasn’t just a session—it was an experience. Mary didn’t rush us. She talked with us, calmed our nerves, and gave our baby so much gentle care. We came in for photos but left with memories.”


🌟 Why Do These Stories Matter?
Because behind every session is a real family—going through sleepless nights, navigating big feelings, and trying to soak in every fleeting moment. These parents trusted me with their babies and their stories. And I don’t take that lightly.


“This work is personal. Every baby, every moment, every tear—it’s all part of the story we’re telling together.”


Final Thoughts: Why It’s Worth Every Penny

Because These Days Are Short—But the Memories Don’t Have to Be

Look, I get it. Life with a new baby is messy, unpredictable, and a little expensive (okay, maybe a lot). But here’s the honest truth I’ve learned from photographing hundreds of families across Vancouver, Port Moody, Burnaby, and beyond:

You will never regret capturing these moments.
Not once. Not ever.

You might forget what day of the week it is. You’ll forget how small their fingers were or how their hair curled just behind the ears. You’ll wish you could bottle up the sound of their sleepy sighs. And while I can’t give you time back, I can give you something to hold onto. Something to pass down. Something to smile at 20 years from now when you’re wondering how the years went so fast.


📸 Let’s Make This Happen—Together
If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, take this as your little sign. Whether you’re still pregnant, your baby just arrived, or you’re celebrating that first birthday milestone—I’d be honored to help you tell your family’s story.
