VINTAGE TEA PARTY | Kim Mallory Child Photographer, Chilliwack, BC

Four is such a magical age… and I remember tea parties and teddy bears, pure bliss.. I’ve always loved antiques and I’m so glad that the trend is getting back to what’s old is new.. I’ve had these teacups and the table cloth since I was a little girl… Having this vision in my mind for quite some time, I took the opportunity to take my youngest niece out this weekend for photos. With the help of my wonderful friends & family who don’t hesitate to jump on board when I say. “OMG, we have to go right now.. can you help me! I need to do this!” We managed to get this shoot set up and photographed in about half an hour.

Thanks Nadine, Taylor, Mackenzie, Jenna, Ella, my sweet husband… and of course our lovely model – Abby.

Just a note:   I’ll be setting up this set in the field and taking bookings for Wednesday September 4th between 6pm & 8pm.    20 minute sessions for your little ones 4 or younger .   $79.00 Session Fee.

Susie - These are beautiful! I love them all, but that teddy in the highchair and the black and whites are to die for!!

MOTHER & DAUGHTER | Kim Mallory Fraser Valley Portrait Photographer

My all time favorite photo is of Jenna & I together when she was just seven years old.  She’s sitting on my lap and has a huge smile and I’m cuddling her, my cheek resting on her head and I have a look of complete contentment and happiness on my face (and not one wrinkle thanks to photoshop haha)    It sits on my dresser and every night when I go to bed it makes me smile and every morning when I wake up it reminds me of just how lucky I am.   When Trina called me and told me she wanted a nice photo of her and her daughter together, I understood exactly why she wanted it.  There is nothing more sacred than a mother/daughter relationship and I know when Jenna gets to be a teenager, I can look back and remember that we did love each other more than life itself and I have a picture to prove it.  These moments are so fleeting I can’t even believe how quickly the time goes.   I’m so glad I have that picture and I think Trina is so wise to come in just for this special purpose.   So here is a sneak peek at our quick little, in studio, session that took about 20 minutes to shoot and will provide years of enjoyment…

BABIES and TODDLERS | Kim Mallory Baby & Child photographer, Fraser Valley

One last post before I leave for my 4 day retreat to Vegas with my girlfriends.   Well, okay, maybe it’s not a “retreat” but I’m up for getting the heck out of Dodge for a few days.    As I’m editing these I’m reminded of my own two girls who were 22 months apart and how Nicole tried to put a hair clip in Jenna’s non-existent hair at this age.    I caught Nicole just as she was starting to poke the pointy end of the clip into Jenna’s little head.   Fun times, fun times…  Now, I am just tormented by pre-teens and I’m convinced if I enjoy Vegas too much I might not come back.  It’s hard to put a finger on what the hard part of raising children is.  Every stage has it’s moments that’s for sure but as Jenna went to bed tonight and looked at me with those big sad eyes and told me she would miss me, I know why it’s important for mom’s to get away for a break, because getting that kind of sweetness nowadays apparently only happens when the mom is leaving town (at this stage anyway!).

Anyway, it was so great to see this family again for baby #2!  I can’t wait to get back just to go through the rest of these photos!

3 BOYS | Kim Mallory, Abbotsford Baby & Child Photographer.

This lovely family came to visit me last week.  It was such an easy session with 3 very sweet boys who were unbelievably well behaved.     Baby slept the entire time which was just amazing and he was so easy to move around…. just out like a light.     And as we were shooting Janice mentioned the hanging baby pic.   I have had a baby hanger thingy for awhile now and I kept forgetting to use it, I had to search for it, but luckily I hadn’t hid it on myself as I like to do with keys and important things that get lost around here…..  so this little guy was the perfect size and sleepy enough to give it a try.
