Phillips Family: Langley Family Photographer, Derby Reach
I just loved getting the chance to photograph this beautiful family! I met Alicia nearly 15 years when we worked together at Suzy Shier in Abbotsford. Alicia was my manager but quickly became a good friend. When Alicia contacted me in the spring to do her family photos I was over the moon. I hadn’t seen her in years and was thrilled to get to see her again.
Alicia, Anita and their families met me at Derby Reach in Langley. I hadn’t been there before but heard it was a beautiful place and it sure didn’t disappoint. We started off with some formal family photos and then quickly got into having some fun. The kids were thrilled to have their pictures taken and just loved being behind the camera. They sure made my job easy! It was so nice to see you again Alicia and Anita and I must say you have such beautiful children. I look forward to the next time 🙂
Words cannot express how much these photo’s mean to me. I have known Leanne for a few years on a professional and personal level…but our lives had drifted us apart. It was such a pleasure to re-connect and meet her family. It was like time had stopped and we just fell back into our friendship. When Leanne started doing photography and then created her business, I had shamelessly began creeping her business page (Thank you FB!) and blog, knowing that one day I would to hire her!! I finally had the chance when my sister was in town with her family.
Fast forward to Derby Reach. Leanne has such a talent at what she does…we had idea’s in our mind and so did she and we were all able to collaborate well and come up with some beautiful shots. As I mentioned to her at the start of the shoot, My man and I have been together for almost 20 years (not married) and we don’t have a really nice picture of the two of us!! She jumped into action and made it her mission to give us what we wanted…and she did!! The mosquito’s there were the size of birds and despite the few meltdowns by children, Leanne was able to capture some amazing shots!!
I could go on and on and on with reasons why Leanne is so great (and would be happy to supply them if needed, lol), but if you are looking for a photog who cares about her subjects, listens and is so much fun to work with, then check SIMpLy Photography by Leanne Sim out!!
I can’t wait to do it again!!!!
