Chilliwack Family, Maternity & Milestone Photographer

I’m Natalia — a family and maternity photographer based in Abbotsford, BC, working closely with families throughout Chilliwack, Sardis, Promontory, Yarrow, and the surrounding Fraser Valley.

I regularly photograph sessions in Chilliwack’s parks, trails, and open fields, and I understand how to work with the natural light, seasons, and locations that make this area unique.

To me, a photoshoot isn’t about posing — it’s about capturing what’s already happening. Whether you’re walking along the Vedder River Rotary Trail, spending time at Cultus Lake, or simply enjoying a quiet evening together, I’m there to document real moments as they unfold.

Why Families in Chilliwack Choose Me

  • Local Expertise: I frequently photograph in areas like Sardis, Promontory Heights, Yarrow, and Ryder Lake, and can suggest locations that fit your family’s style — from mountain views to open fields and forest trails.

Capturing the Heart of Your Story in Chilliwack & the Fraser Valley

Chilliwack is one of the best locations in the Fraser Valley for natural, outdoor photography.

From the shoreline at Cultus Lake to the forest paths of the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, and the wide-open farmland near Yarrow and Ryder Lake, every location offers a different look while still feeling relaxed and natural.

The Vedder River area is especially popular for family and maternity sessions, with easy walking trails, soft evening light, and mountain backdrops that work beautifully in every season.

Because everything in Chilliwack is so close together, sessions feel easy and unrushed — you don’t need to travel far to get a variety of looks in one shoot.

Family Photography When it comes to family sessions, I keep things simple and relaxed. There’s no pressure to pose perfectly — I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly I let things unfold naturally. Kids can move, laugh, be themselves, and you can just focus on enjoying time together. That’s where the real moments come from.

Cake Smash & Birthday Sessions These sessions are always fun and a bit unpredictable — which is exactly what makes them special. I take care of the setup and ideas, so you don’t have to stress about anything. Whether your little one dives right into the cake or takes their time, I just follow their lead and capture it as it happens.

Maternity Photography Maternity sessions are a bit slower and more intentional. I’ll guide you through simple, natural posing that feels comfortable, not forced. You can come on your own, or include your partner and kids — it’s really about capturing this stage in a way that feels like you.

Lifestyle & Outdoor Portraits These are probably the most laid-back sessions I offer. We’ll go for a walk, explore a trail, or just spend some time in a spot you like. There’s no strict plan — just space to interact naturally while I document it along the way.

Christmas mini sessions are offered once a year in a styled, seasonal setup. These are short, structured sessions designed specifically for holiday photos — perfect for Christmas cards, gifts, or updating family portraits during the season.
Spots are limited and typically book up quickly once released.
