FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


My Why :


Why do I do what I do? That's simple!


Ever since I was a little kid I loved taking pictures on disposable cameras. My parents would get the photos developed and all they'd find are pictures of a lamp, the cat, my toes and the list goes on. I fell in love with photography and couldn't wait to make it into a career.


I am committed to capturing your family's connection and you and your spouse's love. I want you to not just look at your photos, but to feel the love and go back to that moment.


Moments are precious and life is short. My drive as a photographer is to capture moments that will bring back every feeling and memory when you look through your photos. "Perfect" photos to me are the candid, laughing and enjoying being in each other's presence kind of photos. Photos that show the undeniable love and unbreakable bond you share with yourself, your family, your partner or any of your loved ones. I want to capture those authentic moments.


I sometimes get messages for example :


"I need to loose weight"

"I look awful, another time"

"I don't have the perfect outfit" 

"I wish we had more photos with our grandparent(s).."

"I wish we took more family photos when the kids were younger"


These messages break my heart. Book the session, regardless of what you *think* you look like. Because at the end of the day, you look AMAZING and I will work my posing magic to where you feel most comfortable.


You don't need new outfits, you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a new hairstyle, you look fabulous the way you are!

  • ARE YOU THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR US?

    I am always up for an adventure and creating new connections. I do my best to help and fit everyone in. Please keep in mind, I am an independant photographer. My schedule fills up fast.


    Our sessions are always care-free and easy going, like chatting with an old friend. There's plenty of movement and things to do during your session, the time will fly! 


    I am always open to a conversation and will answer any questions or concerns you may have. 


    I do my best to make your session easy peasy while making you feel comfortable and relaxed. 


    Please look through my portfolio to make sure my photography style is what you are looking for! If you are looking for a specific "look" to your images, send your inspiration my way and we can definitely discuss what we can do! 


    I look forward to hearing from you and answering your inquiries! 

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS OR SNOWS?

    No one wants to get soaking wet or freeze during their photo session. In the event that it rains, snows, or any other weather related catastrophe, we will be in touch via email or phone call to reschedule your session.


    I don't charge an extra deposit when rebooking due to weather. 

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE IN OUR FAMILY GETS SICK?

    If you or one of your family members' get sick on the day of your photos, we can definitely reschedule. 


    I understand life events pop up, including an unplanned ER visit, illnesses, a death in the family etc. 


    If you reschedule less than 12 hours before your session, I will have to charge another deposit upon rebooking. 

  • HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?

    Summer and fall are my busiest seasons. I would suggest booking a month or two in advance to ensure you receive your requested date and time. 


    If you are needing these pictures for a certain event / holiday, please notify me of this during our consultation. 


    I do request a $25 non-refundable depsoit upon your booking to hold your scheduled date and time. If I do not receive this deposit within 24 hours of booking, your session is not confirmed and another client can book within that time.


    Once the deposit is received I will confirm the date, time and location of your session. 


    The remaining portion of the payment is due on the day of your session.

  • WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR? ******

    I can help you with outfit choices! 


    Wear something that you feel confident in and represents YOU. As well, make sure your outfit / colours match or compliment the other person(s) you are in the session with and the location. 


    Patterns

    If someone is wearing a pattern or plaid shirt, try to limit one person to a pattern if you're having a couples session or one to two people if it's a family session. 


    Footwear

    Make sure you wear something comfortable that allows you to move, but will look nice in your photos. Keeping in mind we will be walking, twirling, dancing etc. 



  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?

    I tell my clients maximum 2 weeks to receive your full gallery. I don't normally give "proofs" or "teasers" before your gallery is sent out. 


    Depending on how busy I am will depend on how fast I can get your edits completed and sent back to you. 

  • HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE RECEIVE?

    For a 30 minute session, the minimum amount of photos you will receive is 30 images.


    For a 45 minute session, minimum of 45 images.


    For a 60 minute session, minimum of 60 images.

  • CAN WE BOOK YEARLY PHOTOS?

    The short answer is.. YES! 


    I have plenty of clients that I see annually for photo sessions. 


    I enjoy having repeat clients. I get to know you and your family as well as watch your little's grow through each session. 

  • CAN I HAVE THE RAW UNEDITED IMAGES?

    No. 


    The photos I take during your session are raw images. After your session, I take them into my editing software and put my creative spin on the photos. I give you what turns out the best and what best represents my work. 


    Please look through photographer's portfolio(s) before choosing the right photographer for your session. 

  • POLICIES

    Please be advised that I have policies that I need to remind or update new and exisiting clients. 


    Deposits

    All sessions booked will require a $25 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. This deposit will hold your date, time and location. If I do not receive this deposit within 24 hours of booking, your session is not secure and another client will be able to book that session time. Once I receive the deposit, I will send you a message that your deposit has been received and confirm your session date, time and location.


    Late

    If you are running late to a session, please communicate with me. There are times where I will schedule multiple families in one day, so I would appreciate if you let me know so I can accommodate time with the other families. 


    Your session time starts at the time that we discussed while booking your session.


    Mini Marathon Sessions

    I host a handful of mini marathon dates a year. My marathon days book up quick as they are discounted mini sessions. Please book as soon as you are able so I can guarantee your time slot. Arrive 5-10 mins before your session to keep the day moving smoothly. 


    I am an independant photographer and have been working to successfully build my business. I enjoy meeting so many people and get to experience so many different stories. I treat my clients with respect and ask that I receive the same. 


    I try my best to accommodate everyone and work diligently to get photos to you in a timely manner. 


    Aside from my business, I work part time, am very active outdoors and run a farm. I will answer messages as soon as I am available and appreciate everyone's inquiries. 


    I can't wait to hear from you!
