The Hamiltons || Ioana Beach Family Photos || Vancouver Family Photographer

Once in a while I work with people and they quickly go from clients to friends. The Hamilton’s are some of those people!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this family a few times over the past few years, we first met last year when their son Orin was born (A little throw back to that session), and since then I have photographed them multiple times.

This session came at a time that I had been thinking so much about legacy, and the images we leave behind. I love that they invited Grandparents to come along, it just made these photos feel extra special and also fall into that heirloom idea i’ve been thinking so much about.

I’m going to be perfectly honest: when I take a photo, my intention IS to create an heirloom, not just a social media post. I imagine the perfectly meaningful moment in my viewfinder taking on a life that spans generations. I picture a photograph—one that you can hold in your hands and pass on to children and grandchildren. I imagine this cherished photograph traveling from home to home for centuries, carrying the truth of how much love your family felt for one another.

When I was editing these images I imagined just that. I imagined these four little boys as Parents & as Grandparents. Pointing out their Nana & Papa in the photos & telling stories from their childhood. I Imagined Their children's children doing the same and retelling the stories their Fathers told them. When I picture this they aren't looking at the images on their computer, but they are holding the images in their hands or flipping through an album.

I want to create that legacy with you. I want to create something so much more than an IG post. I want to create something that will be cherished for generations, like I’m sure these images will be 🤍
