The ‘D’ family was the runner up in my Photo Shoot Giveaway Contest in March. Their ADORABLE, identical twin boys stole the hearts of voters… And it’s no wonder! Carter & Daniel are absolutely adorable.
We spent a fabulous hour together at Charleson Park– exploring, playing, running & laughing. I mostly hung back and let this little family do their own thing, while snapping ‘candidly’ on the sidelines. The results, I think, is a really ‘natural’ & alive looking session. Enjoy!
I did a little Easter Mini-Session with my niece yesterday! This year was her very first Easter and so I thought it would be fun to do a ‘themed’ shoot. Nova looked adorable (as usual) and was such a good sport— even though she did NOT like those bunny ears!
And one hilarious out-take to prove that every shoot has it’s trials and tribulations!

First off- I should mention that this post is incredibly late. In fact, I likely wouldn’t have thought to share these images had a certain someone not poked me an not-so-subtle way (I love you, Liz!) However, I am a firm believer that it’s always ‘better late than never’ so in the spirit of that, here we go!
Last October I had the pleasure of joining Elizabeth & her fabulous twin girls Charlotte & Poppy (who were 17 months old at the time) to the Richmond Country Farms Pumpkin Patch. I grew up in this area, but it was my very first time visiting this particular Pumpkin Patch, and man was it fun! Hayrides, Sing-a-longs, Live band, Farm Animals, Free apples and of course, all the muddy, squelchy, messy pumpkin-adventure fun that you could ever dream of.
Charlotte & Poppy were so adorable tromping through the patch while they searched for just the right pumpkin, and Liz & I certainly had our hands full lugging their selections (and a couple of mucky toddlers!) back to the hayride! What a day!
Thanks to Richmond County Farm for a fabulous morning & to Liz & the girls for letting me tag along. Let’s do it again next fall!
I was recently invited to attend a super fun 4th Birthday Party. I had such a blast hanging out and capturing some great action shots and smiling faces. Vancouver’s ‘Jump’ Gymnastics did a wonderful job hosting the event and keeping this group of a dozen 3-4 year olds laughing & moving. The afternoon was rounded off with some fabulous, colourful cupcakes from ‘Cupcakes’ (by Heather & Lori). The kids really got down & messy (is there any other way to truly enjoy a cupcake?!) and I loved snapping candid shots of those smudged faces.
Please consider Tamara Lakeman Photography for your next party! Having a professional photographer there allows you to be able to really relax & enjoy those special moments.

I often have ‘repeat’ clients. Clients who come back to me once, or twice, or even 10x. Clients who I build I relationship with & truly value and love. This weekend I had a Holiday Session with one such family. We captured many fabulous images (check back later for those!) but one of the funnest shots of the day was a ‘recreation’ shot of a photo I took of their children 2.5 years ago.
Then & Now…
How fun would it be to come back to this same spot in 5 or 10 years and do this photo AGAIN?!

From now until Christmas I will be posting shots from my Holiday Mini Sessions every few days! I hope you enjoy!
I have been a little bit MIA for the last few weeks. For that I apologize! I am sort of in the middle of my busy Holiday Season right now and have been shooting Christmas Portraits steadily every weekend. I was actually in San Francisco last weekend and had a blast with some of my favourite ‘regulars’ as well as a couple new clients as well! And now I am back in Vancouver and snapping Holiday Photos for some fabulous Canadians.
Keeping checking back for some sneak peeks into these Holiday Sessions and more.
I am so glad that I was able to do this shoot!! Just over a year ago, I met the ‘B’ family when they were expecting their first child. We did a beautiful maternity shoot in their amazing San Francisco home. A month or two later, their baby boy Benjamin entered this world and I returned to do his newborn shoot. Well, since then I have moved back to Vancouver Canada so I wasn’t sure that I would be able to make back to capture his 1st birthday.
However, in July I had planned a short visit to San Francisco, so I emailed a few previous clients to get in touch. As it turns out, the timing could not have been better for the B Family! Benjamin’s 1st birthday was just around the corner and it was the perfect time for me to come! We immediately planned another session in their home, and it was a wild success. Ben has grown up into such a vivacious, brave & charismatic little man. As always it is a joy to have been able to watch him grow up and capture the priceless memories that he & his family will cherish for many, many year to come.
