I photographed two sweet boys and their mama a few weeks ago. One of the boys is a four legged furry kid and the other a fun loving four year old (of the human variety!). It was a great evening for an outdoor photo shoot and I loved capturing the love and connection between these two boys and their mama. I have known this mama for quite a few years and it was so great to meet her boys.
Thanks for the session!
Enjoy!
I photographed a sweet little girl for the third time a few weeks ago. She is now two years old and full of energy, curiosity, wonder and joy.
Two year old’s move fast and love to check out their environment with such a sense of interest and curiosity. I only photograph toddlers outdoors for this very reason. I love to chase them and capture them at this stage of their lives doing what they do best, running around and having fun! It is the perfect time of the year for outdoor pictures and the weather has cooperated with each and every photo shoot of mine, I feel so lucky! I cannot believe how much little A has grown in the past year and hearing her talk and watching her run reminds me how time truly does fly by!
I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful Autumn as much as I am!
A friend of mine welcomed her second bundle of joy in September. She is pure perfection!
I photographed her in her fifth week of life. It is amazing how quickly fresh babies change. I typically photograph newborns before they are two weeks old because after that they have already lost their curly sleepy newborn stage. Little Miss B was not a curled up newborn any longer at five weeks old, but she sure gave us some cute shots. Her bright eyes and sweet little grins were adorable! I have photographed her big brother throughout his two years of life; as a newborn, four month-er, and his first year portraits. He is now two years old. It is unbelievable how time flies! I cannot believe how much his little sister looks like him!
I have been friends with these little munchkins mama for several years (over 17 years…yikes!) and I am so thrilled for her on her growing family. Congratulations my friend, you are a wonderful mama and you make beautiful babies! xxoo
Alright lady, I am DONE!
Big brother!
I had a shoot a few weeks ago with the two sweetest girls ever! They were so cute and fun! It was a perfect Fall day, the leaves are just starting to change color and I found an awesome new location. These two girls are quite close in age and if you saw them, you would think they were twins. They are the same height and are the bestest friends. I loved capturing their personalities and also the love between them and
their mom. All three of them are completely natural in front of the camera and capturing the love was easy.
Enjoy these blue eyed beauties, I am sharing a bunch because I just can’t decide which images are my faves.
Summer makes me smile.
As long as I can remember I have loved Summer more than any other season.
The warm sun, sand, beaches, swimming and general care-free atmosphere that Summer brings all make me happy. For this reason I take on less sessions in the Summer so that I can truly enjoy every minute of it with family and friends. The rest of the year for me brings a ton of work with both my full time nursing job and Trina Lianne Photography that I do not see my friends and family nearly as much as I wish to. I am enjoying a great two weeks off from my nursing job and have been out enjoying Summer to the fullest.
So far in the past few weeks I:
went swimming with my cousins in the pool I learned how to swim in
went hiking (in the rain) with some besties
spent an incredibly relaxing 4 days on the Sunshine Coast with my man and our pups
went for a great walk around False Creek with my Aussie girl
BBQ’s
Saw The Smurfs with my cousins
Shot a wedding on an organic farm in Squamish
got bit by 23 mosquito’s
read 3 novels (soon to be 4)
watched my dogs have the time of their lives running along White Rock Beach
That is just a glimpse of what I have been up to.
Here are a few personal snapshots I have taken for no one else but me.
Live life to the fullest. Enjoy your Summer as much as I am enjoying mine. Remember to take pictures while your at it.
Me and my little cousin
Katie loves Summer too!
Thanks for stopping by.
I am booking well into September now and also will share some wedding shots I took at a wedding a few weeks ago soon!

The weather here in Vancouver area has been horrible this Spring. We have had nothing but rain and it has been still quite cold. However, I think finally we are getting a taste of Spring and hopefully our Summer will make up for it! I have been dying to get outside and photograph in the beauty that makes up Spring – green freshly grown leaves, trees, tall grass and flowers.
I finally got the chance to photograph a beautiful little girl in all of the above, I was in Spring Bliss right alongside my sweet model. I found a lovely location, the weather and lighting was perfect and I am thrilled with the beautiful images I captured of a special little girl.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there!
I thought I would share a bunch of images I have captured of mom’s and their babies. I really love capturing the love between a mom and her child, it truly is a love like no other. I have yet to feel that love for a child of my own, but I hear that it is quite something unimaginable until you experience it yourself.
I know I can definitely see it at my sessions and particularly at newborn sessions. Mother’s look at their sweet bundle throughout newborn sessions with a special twinkle in their eye. Many mom’s are not interested in being in the pictures themselves for various reasons (sleep deprivation probably topping the list) but I always try to encourage them to be, not only for themselves to look back upon, but also for their child. I know I love and adore looking through old pictures of my mom and I when I was a baby and child and when I look at them, I don’t look at my mom and think “wow she looks tired, why isn’t she wearing makeup, her hair isn’t perfect…”. I look at them and feel love and memories from such a special time in my life come flooding back. I highly encourage all mom’s to get in more pictures with their kids, if you don’t do it for you, do it for them (and for the generations that follow!).
To all the mom’s, I hope you have a fabulous Mother’s Day and feel the love not only today, but everyday! To my own mom, thanks for all that you have done, all that you do, and all that you will do. I love you! xxoo
I wish I had an old picture of my mom and I to share, but unfortunately all my old pictures are in storage and I have nothing stored on my hard-drive. I do however have an old picture of my Grandma and her mom to re-enforce my statement about the importance of being in pictures with your kids. Generations later and this picture is still cherished.

A few weeks ago my good friend and fellow pho tographer Ashleigh Wells of Ashleigh Wells Pho
tography and I took a trip down to Bellingham to meet up with another amazing photographer friend Kristin Hemenway of Images by Kristin. We took pictures of two extremely adorable kids at an old barn that provided the most amazing light a photographer could dream of (yes photographers do dream of amazing light!). It is such a blast to meet up and shoot with other photographers who share the same passion as you (and who also dream of amazing light!). Its fun to bounce ideas off each other and inspire each other in new ways. It sure helps to have the cutest little models EVER!! We also shot an engagement session, which will be shared at a later date!
I know I have said it many times, but I seriously think I get to photograph THE cutest babies ever made and the little guy I photographed last week was no exception!
He was a champion for his session and once he had a nice full belly, he nicely went into a milk coma. His big brother was one of the most cooperative loving older siblings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. He was sooo keen on having his pictures taken and was so careful when holding his little brother, I can already tell he is going to make one spectacular big brother.
Enjoy your sneak peek!
I am behind on blogging again! It has been a hectic last few weeks as I try to get things wrapped up before I leave for vacation in 10 days!
I had a shoot last week with two adorable 9 month old twins and their big sister. These babies have grown quite substantially since I last shot them when they were 10 days old! They have grown into chunky smiley adorable munchkins whose personalities are really starting to shine. This age is one of my most favorite ages to shoot!
I had this shoot in mind for several months. I purchased my beloved apple crate at an antique shop and knew right away how I wanted to use it. I haven’t had the chance up until now.
I had bought the two apple hats several months ago and the other day when I was out shopping found the PERFECT onesies with apples on them. I had to buy them and I am so glad I was able to shoot exactly what I had envisioned with these adorable twins!
It is very satisfying as an artist to be able to execute an idea and have it turn out exactly as you had envisioned!
I hope you enjoy these shots as much as I do!
This is what one twin is up to when Mama is changing the other!
Here is 3 year old big sister! She is so beautiful!
