Vancouver’s 50 Essential Portrait Photographers
17 Dec 2009, written by Christine 18 Comments
Looking for a Vancouver photographer? From October to December 2009, I looked for Vancouver’s Essential Portrait Photographers. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who can snap your next family portrait, take those belly maternity shots or capture the early days of your newborn, you’ve come to the right place! This is Vancouver’s essential list of professional photographers who practice kids and children’s photography, maternity photography, and family photography.
To qualify, the photographers on this list had to focus on maternity, newborn, children’s or family portraiture, as well as talent that, well, kicked butt. You’ll find photographers from all over Vancouver’s Lower Mainland – and even beyond – with different and varying style that we’re sure will meet anyone’s taste.
Here’s on the list in order of publication.
