how to prepare for your mountain mini session


  • Layers, layers & more layers! The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable and windy, so ensure to dress for the worst & then hope for the best.
  • Leave lots of time to get there. Traffic from Calgary to the mountains can be just as unpredictable as the weather and is often quite busy.
  • Make a day of it! Have a plan for before or after to make the most of your time out there. Canmore & Banff have lots of fun things to do & delicious restaurants to eat at.
