A visit with baby Mason and family

John Heil — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:12:30 +0000

Yesterday we had a great little visit with our friends Monique & Donnie and their new son, Mason. I did a fun newborn shoot with Mason over Christmas but haven’t seen him since then. He has grown so much in just a month! It was Kristopher’s first time meeting Mason and much to all our surprise, he is a total natural at the father thing!! Mason loved him! Kris did it all too….fed him, held him, burped him, rocked him to sleep, and little Mason just loved sucked it all up without a complaint. He is such a peach! and so darn adorable…..you could stare at his huge blue eyes forever – so cute!! Of course I brought my camera with me for the visit, so here’s some shots…

Meet Jason, Del-Rae and little Penelope!

A few weeks back this awesome family got in touch with me to schedule a family session. When they told me they wanted to shoot in their home area of Main Street, I was super stoked as it’s one of my favorite parts of the city! Del-Rae is part of an awesome little Vancouver group known as Moms On Main and was referred to me by another mom from the group, Jocelyn. I shot Jocelyn and her gorgeous little son, Logan a few months ago! I had a great time wandering the Main street area and super happy to share these photos! Enjoy!

It’s FALL!

Ok, well, almost. It’s only just the first few days of September but I can already feel that crisp, autumn breeze and let me tell you, I LOVE IT! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year and I look forward to everything about this season…the crunch of the leaves beneath, the brisk autumn air that hits you in the face in the morning and makes you feel so amazing, pumpkin spice lattes, hoodies, sweaters and scarves! Oh, and, the best part about October? My birthday of course! Yep, October 27th to be exact. Quickly followed by my favorite holiday, Halloween! Along with a few other friends who also celebrate birthdays in October, it’s just an amazing month all around.

Baby Brody!

John Heil — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:54:11 +0000

When I was up at Bird Point Retreat a few weeks ago I had the awesome pleasure of taking some photos of the extremely adorable Brody. The second I seen his adorable little face I just had to get some photos. I asked Jake and Lisa if I could get some quick shots of him and they were totally into it. It was a blistering hot afternoon and the sun was on full flare, but we spent about 15 minutes getting a few cute shots around the camp. Little Brody was a trooper and lasted the entire 15 minutes, laying on rocks and bushes and shrubs without getting even a bit cranky. What a sweetie!

Here’s a little slideshow of the photos!

Carter Stamp-Vincent Full Preview

John Heil — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:19:00 +0000

So last week I had the great pleasure of photographing beautiful little Carter Stamp-Vincent. He was about 8 weeks old at the time and let me just say, one of the best behaved babies I’ve ever seen. This was my first baby shoot and I don’t think I could have asked for a better baby! He was so cute and sweet and pleasant! No crying, no screaming, no tantrums….absolutely perfect! Sara and Fraser, Carters parents, are really awesome people and I had a really great time with them during this shoot. Thank you guys so very much for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to capture the amazing love that you share. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Little Carter….so cute!

I’m just finishing up some recent photo sets, including a baby shoot last week with little Carter-Stamp Vincent! Thought I’d post a quick sneak peak. He is just soooooooo adorable, I can’t even find words.

And he definitely wins best behaved baby of the year award because he was an absolute delight during the whole shoot. Must take after his awesome parents, Sara and Fraser! You 2 are sooo awesome and I really loved working with you and little Carter! More to come very soon!
