Maternity, family & newborn photographer in Vancouver
One moment, many stories
Hi! I’m Fran. I photograph bumps, babies and families around Vancouver, mostly outdoors, sometimes at home.
Meet Francine
Hi, I’m Francine
My background is in fine arts, so I pay a lot of attention to light and composition. But honestly, my favourite photos are usually the ones in between poses, when nobody’s looking at me.
I don’t rush sessions. If your little one needs a snack or a cuddle break, we stop. Some of the best photos happen right after.
Sessions
What I photograph
Maternity
Usually around 28 to 34 weeks. Golden hour outside, or at home, your choice.
Newborn
No props, no baskets. Just you, your baby and the rest of the family (dogs included).
Family
Kids don’t have to sit still or smile on cue. I’ll keep them busy.
Couples
Engagements, anniversaries, or because it’s been way too long since you had nice photos together.
I photograph weddings too. Send me your date and I’ll tell you if I’m free.

Where I photograph
Where we can shoot
A lot of my sessions happen around Vancouver: Stanley Park, Spanish Banks, Queen Elizabeth Park. In summer I love the fields out in the Fraser Valley.
I drive anywhere from North Vancouver to Chilliwack, and Burnaby, Surrey and Langley are all fine too. Not sure where to go? Tell me what you like and I’ll send you a few spots.
Love Notes
What clients say
I had such an incredible experience working with Fran for my maternity photos. She has an amazing eye for detail, the lighting, the angles, the overall mood, everything came together so beautifully. She truly captured this moment in a way that feels both natural and timeless. I was blown away by how the photos turned out. They exceeded all my expectations.

My husband and I did a family photoshoot in our home with our 2 month old son - we could not have been happier with the experience and the final pictures! Fran was so lovely to work with and made us feel totally comfortable. She was also very understanding of working with our dog who is nervous of strangers. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted! They are natural and perfectly captured the newborn stage. Highly recommend!
Claire S. · Family & newborn
Francine was so nice and warm. Really easy to coordinate with. She has an easygoing way and instantly made us comfortable during the session. Her suggested poses were beautiful and photographs were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to capture their special moments!!

Two Leaves managed to capture the most beautiful and candid shots from my wedding day. They were professional, friendly and timely. The final result was breathtaking and they designed the most incredible final product with the personalized wood box, flashdrive and photo album.

Questions families often ask
When is the best time to book maternity photos?
Most people book between 28 and 34 weeks (about 7 to 8 months). Every pregnancy is different though, so message me early and we’ll find the right time for you.
What are your newborn sessions like?
They’re not the classic posed newborn photos. No props or baskets. It’s more about your family together with the new baby.
What should we wear?
After you book, I’ll send you a wardrobe guide. Soft colours and earthy tones work best, and not too many patterns. I also have a small wardrobe you can borrow from.
Do you travel outside Vancouver?
Yes! I go all over Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, out to Chilliwack. For places further away I add a gas fee depending on the distance, so just ask me first.
How long until we get our photos?
Usually within three weeks. Busier times of year can take a bit longer.
Let’s talk!
Tell me a bit about what you’re looking for. I look forward to being part of your story.
