Springtime Family Photography in Metchosin: Capturing Memories Amidst Natural Beauty

As spring breathes new life into Metchosin’s landscapes, it’s the perfect time to gather your loved ones for a family photography session. With vibrant blooms, rolling meadows, and stunning coastal views, this Vancouver Island gem offers endless inspiration for capturing moments you’ll treasure forever.

Why Metchosin is Perfect for Spring Photos

Metchosin’s natural beauty makes it a prime location for family portraits. Whether it’s the wildflowers at Devonian Regional Park, the serene shores of Witty’s Lagoon, or the lush greenery of Matheson Lake, the settings here blend beautifully with the warmth and renewal of spring.

Tips for Magical Spring Family Photos

1. Scout the Location in Advance
   Spring weather can be unpredictable, so check your location a few days before the session to assess lighting, blooming flowers, and accessibility. Golden hour (after sunrise or before sunset) provides the most flattering natural light.

2. Highlight Seasonal Colors
   Take advantage of the soft pastels and vibrant greens of spring. Suggest complementary clothing palettes for families, such as yellows, whites, and earthy tones, to harmonize with the natural backdrop.

3. Incorporate Candid Moments
   While posed shots are great, candid moments often carry the most emotion. Encourage families to play, explore, and interact naturally. Props like picnic blankets or favorite toys can add personality and fun.

4. Embrace Metchosin’s Charm
   Capture the essence of Metchosin with its rustic barns, coastal trails, and open fields. These unique features create timeless images that stand out.

5. Plan for Comfort
   Spring breezes can be cool, so remind families to dress in layers and wear comfortable footwear, especially if exploring uneven terrain. Keeping everyone relaxed ensures natural smiles and enjoyable moments.

Colourful Portraits with my Mother

A few days ago I photographed a children's birthday party in Kelowna. At the event there were these beautiful massive balloons. I asked the parents (my clients)  if I could take some balloons home, and they said I could!  The event ended late, I stuffed the balloons into my car. You can only imagine how silly I looked driving with a car stuffed with pink baloons! Anyways, as it was late, I decided to spend the night at my mothers house nearby.

My mother was also mesmerized by these balloons! I wanted to use the balloons as soon as possible. I decided it would be a great idea to take photographs of my mother with the balloons in the morning. 

In the morning my mother put on her favourite dress and we went to her pergola in her backyard.  The photos turned out great - I absolutely love them. When my mother looked at the pictures she was amazed at herself. I'am glad my pictures can reflect her inner and outer beauty. I had a lot of fun with these portraits !
