(And Why Timing Matters Less Than You Think) If you’re expecting a baby, chances are you’ve already come across advice telling you to book a newborn photographer very early, photograph your baby within a specific number of days, and prepare for a perfectly timed session. While some of that guidance can be helpful, I want […]

Vancouver In-Studio Family Photography Session Vancouver In-Studio Family Photography Session There’s something quietly magical about photographing families in a studio — especially when the space is flooded with natural light and the pace is led entirely by the kids.

A Summer Family Session at Jericho Beach // Vancouver family photography Some of the most beautiful family moments happen when you follow the child’s lead.

BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT LORENZA
I am a family, newborn and maternity photographer in Vancouver, BC where I live with my wife Ilenia and our two-year old daughter, Amelie.
Since I was a child growing up in Italy, I've had an unwavering love for photography. Some of my fondest memories are of afternoons spent flipping through my grandmother and mum's photo albums — collections of family vacations, weddings, and celebrations of life.
I’d get lost in the pictures, studying the details, and reliving those moments through the images. I remember rushing to the local photography shop with my disposable camera, determined to preserve as many memories as I could through film. Little did I know then, that my love for capturing moments would grow into a lifelong passion.
Fast forward to today, and my journey in photography has evolved from a personal hobby to a meaningful career. But at its core, the love I have for photographing life is still about preserving moments that matter. That’s what I bring to every session: a deep appreciation for the significance of the memories we make every day, and a commitment to capturing them authentically.
