Capturing Moments at Pitt Lake: A Family Photoshoot to Remember

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family at Pitt Lake, a stunning spot nestled off the Pitt River Dyke in Pitt Meadows, BC. The mountains as the backdrop of the photoshoot is breathtaking. This is one of my favourite locations, especially at golden hour or on an overcast day.

The Family

The wonderful family for this shoot included Mom, Dad, their adorable 8 month old son, and their other furry family member Jake the family dog. Mom and Dad focused on playful moments with their son, while Jake explored the area around us. The family's love and connection was evident in every shot, creating timeless memories that they'll cherish forever.

The Location: Pitt Lake

Pitt Lake offering a variety of scenic views that are perfect for photography. The combination of body of water and towering mountains creates an enchanting atmosphere. Depending on the time of year, you can go down the dyke into an open field, which is perfect at golden hour. On the day of our shoot, the weather was overcast, which is perfect to be able to showcase every angle of the landscape. This natural soft light highlighted the family's love and togetherness.

Tips for a Successful Family Photoshoot
