These moments are the start of your family’s next chapter, and they deserve to be artfully preserved in a way that feels as unique and heartfelt as they are.
newborn photography in Victoria & Vancouver Island, BC
The first days with your newborn are fleeting, tender, and filled with a love you’ve never felt before. It’s a whirlwind of emotions, from the wonder of tiny fingers and toes to the quiet awe of holding this new life in your arms.
These moments are the beginning of your family's next chapter, and they deserve to be preserved in a way that feels as unique and heartfelt as they are. This isn't simply about documenting your baby's first days. It's about giving yourself the opportunity to pause, breathe, and be fully present with the little life you've been waiting to meet.
From choosing what to wear to gently guiding you through your session, every detail is thoughtfully considered so you can let go of the pressure to make everything perfect. Instead of worrying about how you look or whether your baby will cooperate, you'll have the space to simply hold them close, take it all in, and trust that those quiet, beautiful moments are being preserved with care and intention.
The result is a collection of thoughtfully crafted images that feel effortless, deeply personal, and beautifully reflective of your family's story.
What working together looks like:
On the day of your session, it’s all about capturing authentic moments. I’ll gently guide you to snuggle, play, and connect with your little one. My sessions are slow and intentional, giving us plenty of time to capture the raw, heartfelt moments that truly matter. Sessions are led by baby, and we only do what is comfortable for them. Although I include some simple posing, most of the session is family-based. I allow plenty of time for soothing, changes, and feeding, so there is no need to rush.
Get excited! Your gallery is on it's way!
Your images will be delivered via an online gallery within 3-5 weeks of your session date. You will be able to download your images and purchase beautiful, high-quality prints and albums directly through the online store. Your beautiful art doesn't belong on your computer, it deserves to be showcased in your home in print!
Editing note: Images are edited to maintain natural beauty and body modifications are not made.

The whole process was very professional from start to finish. She took a lot of time to listen to my wishes and ideas and also shared her ideas and tips with me. I also felt very comfortable in her presence and I never had the feeling that we were under time pressure and had to hurry. The result of the photos exceeded my expectations and I'm just overjoyed to have done the shoot with Angela. I can wholeheartedly recommend Angela to everyone.
Not only because she has an incredibly beautiful style for the photos, but also because she is just wonderful as a person.
Ines M.
I have worked twice with Angela and she is great! Captured beautiful moments of my maternity; as a new mom she made me feel comfortable, beautiful and empowered . She is best of the best :)

I cannot say enough amazing things about Angela. How on earth she managed to shoot my three small children, first when they were newborns, and then at aged 4, is beyond me! She is neurodiversity friendly, trauma informed, and has a wonderful personality. I LOVED OUR FAMILY PHOTOS!
She's a gem of a human, and am extremely talented photographer.
Ella W.
She is absolutely wonderful, so kind and made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. Her photos are beautiful. We loved every one of them and can't wait to get them up on our walls. Her work truly captures beautiful, intimate moments and emotions. She's an immensely talented professional you will never regret working with! Can't wait to book her for future sessions :)
We had the most amazing experience with Angela from start to finish.

When I came across Angela K Photography’s Instagram page, I was immediately drawn to her photography style. I also really appreciated the fact that she has a client closet available for use. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with leading up to the session, and she really knew how to make me feel more comfortable in front of the camera. I received so many photos back, and they turned out even better than I imagined. Maternity and newborn photos are such a special thing to have done, and I am truly glad it was Angela who captured that moment in my life.
Having her document that very important time in my life was absolutely the right decision.
Brittney L.
I had the most amazing motherhood session with Angela, where it was just me, our beloved horse, and my two little ones. Angela was an absolute delight to work with. From the moment we met, she made the entire experience incredibly fun, and my kids instantly fell in love with her warm personality. The photos from our session were nothing short of stunning. Angela has a remarkable talent for storytelling through her lens, and every image captured the essence of our special bond.
Angela's professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft made this entire experience truly exceptional.
Amy P.
Angela did my outdoor maternity photoshoot and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! She is extremely talented and her quality of work is outstanding. She captured the most precious time of our lives in the most beautiful way, and we will cherish our photos for a lifetime.

Angela was AMAZING! My husband and I genuinely had so much fun and our photos turned out stunning. She is so good at what she does and is able to capture candid, timeless, and beautiful pictures without it being “work.” . We will definitely be using her again in the future. I highly recommend hiring Angela if you want timeless and beautiful maternity pictures!
My husband and I were laughing the whole time and Angela made us feel so comfortable

How do you create images full of connection and storytelling??
Q:
go back to faqs
Telling your authentic story starts from the moment you inquire. I take the time to really get to know you and your family, and then we work closely to plan out the session of your dreams.
During the session, I give you space to be yourselves, while guiding you as little or as much as you need.
My sessions are full of movement, play, and connection, which allows you to settle in and genuinely enjoy the moment.
I'm not there to capture an idea of you I have in my head, I'm there to capture you as you are, authentically and artfully. Through noticing the little details and moments, I capture your love as it truly is!
How do you balance authentic moments with artistic photographs?
Q:
I believe the most meaningful photographs happen when genuine moments are given the space to unfold naturally. Every location, composition, and use of light is chosen with intention, creating the perfect setting for your story to unfold. I'll gently guide you into beautiful light, natural movement, and meaningful connection, then step back and allow your unique interactions to lead the way. Beautiful photographs aren't created by choosing between authenticity and artistry. They happen when the two work together. The result is imagery that feels honest, emotional, and thoughtfully crafted without ever feeling forced.
go back to faqs
What happens if it is raining?
Q:
Reschedules are decided the morning of the session as our weather is so unpredictable. Reschedules are made for rain or any other extreme weather. We do not reschedule for cloud cover and I cannot guarantee a sunset unfortunately.
go back to faqs
How many people can be part of the session?
Q:
Up to 6 people are included in the session fee. After that, it is an extra fee per person. I do not do extended family sessions at this time.
go back to faqs
What happens if my kids don't cooperate?
Q:
The one thing that I have learned from both, being a mother and a family photographer, is that kids do best when we go into something with no expectations. My sessions are play based and low-pressure, allowing for kids to open up and be their authentic selves. When they don't want to do something, or they are unhappy, we just give them space and move onto something different.
Through my 18 year career in Nursing, and being the mama of a neurodivergent child, I am very comfortable working with children of all abilities. The tools that I have gained allow me to meet every child where they are at, and together, we create beautiful and authentic images that capture your family's beautiful story!
go back to faqs
Can my partner and children be included in my maternity session?
Q:
Absolutely! I love to incorporate your family into maternity sessions. I believe this is how we capture your current season of life authentically and artfully. My sessions are full of movement, connection, and play, making them perfect for telling your family's unique story.
go back to faqs
How do we book a newborn session when we don't know when baby will come?
Q:
Newborn sessions are booked based on your due date. This holds your spot and then we set a date that works for us both once your little one arrives. Newborn sessions are weekdays, mid day. I suggest booking your newborn session between 16-28 weeks to ensure availability.
For those sleepy images, newborn sessions are ideally done between 1-3 weeks of age. Because my style is lifestyle based and focused on connection, this time frame is flexible!
go back to faqs
What should I wear for maternity photos?
Q:
When planning your outfits for your maternity session, it is important to focus on comfort and movement. My sessions are full of movement, play, and connection and you want to be able to move freely in your outfits.
I like to start with the feeling or vibe you want to have in your images, and then take the location into consideration. For example, for a cozy in-home session, you don't want to wear an elaborate gown! Instead, choose an outfit that makes sense for the story you are wanting to tell.
I love incorporating different fabrics and textures when planning outfits. Natural fabrics such as linen or flowy fabrics are beautiful for beach sessions.
If you want to learn more about what to wear for your maternity photos, check out my guide here!
go back to faqs
When is the best time to do a maternity session?
Q:
Maternity sessions are ideally done between 28-34 weeks. This is to be sure that your bump is showing but you are still comfortable. Each person is different and some prefer to do sessions earlier when it is a pregnancy with multiples or it is not their first. Mamas of multiples often do their sessions about 4-6 weeks earlier.
go back to faqs
Do you help with planning outfits and/or location?
Q:
I work closely with my clients to plan their session! I am available to help with outfit styling, hair and makeup artist suggestions, location options etc. Each package includes a questionnaire, prep guides, and a phone or zoom consult so that we can personalize your session.
I have Victoria photography location guides as well as styling guides for all types of sessions here:
Check out my resources!
go back to faqs
How do you choose locations?
Q:
I choose locations based on a clients needs/wants but I also ensure that the location has good lighting that time of day, isn't too busy, and has a lot of room for us to move around.
go back to faqs
What time of day are your sessions held?
Q:
My outdoor session start times are 1-2 hours before sunset based on location and weather. Sunrise sessions may also be an option for those super early risers! For in-home and newborn sessions, these are during daylight hours.
go back to faqs
How long does it take to get our final images?
Q:
Turn around time may vary but is generally 4-5 weeks. Please see your contract for specific details.
go back to faqs
Do you offer mini sessions?
Q:
I don't offer traditional "mini" sessions. I offer half-sessions which are a full 30 minutes but sessions are only held a couple of times of year and are on specific dates/locations. Join my email list to be first to be notified!
go back to faqs
How long does a session last?
Q:
For portrait sessions, I allow between 1-3 hours based on the package that you choose. This is an estimate and timing is primarily based on how much time is needed to capture your family authentically.
go back to faqs
What areas do you work in? do you travel for sessions?
Q:
I service the Victoria and the surrounding areas such as Langford, Saanich, North Saanich, Sidney, Colwood, & Sooke.
I also offer Tofino-specific packages that include all travel fees!
For areas outside of this, a travel fee would apply. I am always open to travel for a session, so send me a message! Travel fees are waived if I am already in your area so you can also inquire about my travel schedule! I often travel to Vancouver!
