Lifestyle Portraiture by Larissa Addison

Welcome to my Blog! This is my most up to date, recent work. When I have a photo session that really speaks to me, I post my favorites on here, in a journal like style. Here you’ll get to know me, a bit about my family, and a lot about the random adventures I take on my shoots with family, friends and clients. Just scroll down, or navigate by category on the bottom of the page!

Michelle and Ryley were referred to me by another photographer that unfortunately ended up being booked on their date. It’s funny how things sort of fall in your lap. Like they were destined for you. When I first met up with Ryley and Michelle, they were looking to work out some photography coverage on a tight budget. They were willing to compromise on time in order to get quality photography of the most important aspects of their day.

After chatting for .2 seconds, I knew already that we were going to make it work. Michelle came to the table with something I wanted, and needed, for my business. It’s an amazing tradeoff and all of us are going to walk away extremely pleased.

And the more time I spent with these two, the happier I was that this worked out so well. Because they are simply awesome people. Michelle and I get along like old friends. It’s just so EASY to be around both of them. THAT is what I want in a relationship with my clients. I consider myself pretty easy to get along with and work with. I’ve been told this is the case by many of my clients. I love the thought that my clients walk away from their experience with me feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

When clients become friends, that’s richness in life.

I took Ryley and Michelle to “THE SPOT”. I discovered it with some other photographer friends when we were having a “just for fun” shoot last year. I keep returning! Maybe you will recognize it. At golden hour, its…golden. LOVE IT.

Feast your eyes!

adam + alex | fraser valley engagement photographer

I am really behind in blogging, and I have to admit, once I get behind, it’s almost impossible to get my butt to blog again.

It’s kind of like that friend that you keep forgetting to call, or email back. And when you do remember, you almost don’t want to call or email them for reason of reminding them that you’ve neglected them for so long. It’s a build up of guilt!

I’m sorry, blog! I will love you again! I won’t ever leave! I swear!

That and, I’m working with a graphic designer on making you so much prettier, and I kind of want to wait till you are all prettied up to put fresh work out there!

But for real let’s get on task. Adam and Alex are a seriously gorgeous couple who are getting married this August. I am really excited for their wedding, and I think it was a good thing to get out and practice hamming it up for my camera. They are old pros now! By the end of our session they were workin it! I enjoyed my time with them and can’t wait to do it again!

We met up in Fort Langley and goofed around a bit there. Got yelled at by some lady who didn’t want us to use the very last two inches of her driveway to photograph on (I don’t think we were actually on her property but she assured us that she DOES mind if we take photographs there. That’s ok. Mental note not to return there). As the light dipped down we moved towards some more rural areas for grassy romantic golden light shots. We left eachother a couple hours later and starving!

Here’s what we came up with.

november mini sessions | south surrey family photographer

This may be a little late, but after all the rush of getting photos done and out the door before Christmas, then the holiday season with my family, I have finally found some time to blog my favorites from my November mini sessions!
And if you’re worried that you missed out on the mini session deal, I suggest you keep your ears and eyes peeled. I just may be offering some more very soon!
Here are some good shots from our quick and painless 20 minute sessions:

instagram life | episode 1

In a desperate attempt to post more things about ME and MY life, I’m going to try and do regular Instagram collages. Let’s be real here, I don’t take my big camera everywhere with me. And when I do bring it out, my 15 month old son just wants to press the buttons on the back, so it’s not usually a very successful photo opportunity. The camera on my iPhone is much handier, more accessible, and likely to be used for the daily shots. I apologize in advance for the excessive amount of photos of my children. But I think they are really cute and their daily antics make me laugh.
Here’s a snippet of the last few weeks of my life on Instagram. I’m always joking that my Instagram life is so much cooler than my real life. But the truth is, it’s my real life. My daughter dresses up in pillowcases and bathing suits. My hubby buys grapes which are excessively large. My kids use bedsheets as rides. My son empties my purse (an makes hilarious faces). And the sunsets are beautiful.
