IT'S MORE THAN JUST PHOTOS.

It's an experience.

And it's time to invest in your memories.


So what can you expect at a session with me? Well, I do things a little differently.


I'm not here to create picture-perfect images made up of stiff poses and forced smiles. I'm here to capture beautiful, heartfelt, authentic moments. Moments you can cherish forever before they pass too quickly.

I'm all about...


Gut busting laughs.

Real smiles.

Cozy cuddles.

Emotional connections.

I WANT YOU TO LOOK BACK ON YOUR PHOTOS AND REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO BE THERE WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE!


And I'm here to make it as easy & stress-free as possible!

1. Book your session.

Once you book a time with me, I'll send you a contract to sign and a short questionnaire to get to know you better & we'll start planning everything from outfits & locations - all done electronically. You'll also receive resources & info to help make your life easier, so you feel confident & excited for your session. 

2. Make the magic happen.

Time to make memories! With fun, easy prompts and my relaxed approach, I'll help you and your loved ones feel comfortable & present in front of the camera. Yes to real connections and beautiful memories that are "hang on the wall" worthy!

3. Pick your fave images & prints.

Within 3 weeks of the session, I'll deliver your professionally edited digital images via an online gallery straight to your inbox. You choose your favourites, shop for print products, and share your images with friends & family all within the user-friendly gallery!! Then enjoy & reminisce forever.

FAQ

What time of day do you shoot?

While early evenings & golden hour are ideal for that soft, magical light you see in my portfolio of work, I can shoot at any time of day. Time also varies based on location.

Do you offer mini sessions?

Yes! At certain times of year including Mother's Day & Christmas, I offer mini sessions. Be sure to join my email list or follow along on Instagram for my latest offerings.

Where will we shoot?

I love using beautiful scenery to turn your photos into a work of art. Not sure where you want your session? Worry not. Once I know a bit about you, I'll share from experience what works best depending on your needs and wants.

What do I wear?

What you wear for the photo session can really make or break the end result. We will chat about outfit ideas when booking, and if desired, I will assist you in wardrobe selection. I also have a small client closet you can choose from for maternity/newborn sessions at no extra charge. Styling is one of my favourite things to do and I'm good at it, so please take advantage of this free service! With the right styling, we can take your photos from good to AMAZING!

What if the weather is bad?

I shoot in most weather conditions provided it is not dangerous (ie. blizzards, high winds, heat waves). Rain or shine, we will make some magic together!

When will my images be ready?

Galleries can take up to 3 weeks to prepare. If you just can't wait, I will often post a few sneak peeks of your images to my Instagram and Facebook account, so be sure to follow me!

How do I order print products?

Gone are the days when you leave with only digitals and never get around to displaying them how you want. You can order prints, canvas wraps, framed portraits & cards directly from the online gallery I send you, which is then printed from a professional lab for lasting quality. Within 1-3 weeks, you'll have your images to display & enjoy forever!
