No two sessions I take are ever the same. Getting to know you and what's most important to you is the key to my entire process. My goal for our time together is not just to create pretty photos for social media or to send out as a holiday card (though you're always welcome to!), but rather to honour this season of your lives, and create heirlooms that will take you right back to this moment.
I put a lot of energy into the planning process to make sure the session we plan feels like the real you. That way I'm able to show up and be fully present, and you can do the same. Planning will be a joint creative effort - I love texting/voice-noting with my clients, dreaming, brainstorming, and mood boarding.
If you are the type of person who can embrace the chaos and find the playfulness in this season of life. If you realize these moments are so fleeting. If you're able to laugh at yourself don't take life too seriously. If you see the beauty in the mess. If you're an over-sharer who wants a session that feels like hanging out with a friend, then I think we'll get along perfectly.
A Note on Investment: Because I believe storytelling is so important, my sessions are all inclusive. I take on fewer clients so that I'm able to put more energy into the planning process, the session itself, and the editing. My sessions are an investment, but you're investing in a photographer who is invested in you and the process. My pricing is based on skill and demand.
Trust is so Important: getting to know you and creating a space where you feel comfortable to be your unfiltered self makes all the difference in the images we'll capture together.
My Approach is Organic: we'll plan our session so that when the time comes we'll be able to let things unfold naturally. We'll let things be messy and imperfect, and you'll be so focused on the moment you'll forget I'me even there.
Remember Your Why: because the truth is, all of these little details you cherish are changing so quickly and are worth documenting.
The session day! Time to see all our dreaming come to life. My sessions are laid back and light hearted. I'll offer up suggestions for what to do, but will also step back and let you do your thing.
I'll send out a questionnaire to help me get to know you better and guide the session creatively. You can answer online, or we can chat over the phone. From there we'll keep the convo going, sharing ideas, moodboards, and getting excited!
We'll pick a date and time that fits both of our schedules and the location we're planning on using. You'll receive a contract & invoice with a link to pay a retainer fee a lock in your spot!
You've taken a look at my work and feel drawn to what you see. We'll chat about your vision for photos and answer any questions you can think of.
Let's take the stress out of traditional sessions and make an experience that feels fun and relaxed. We'll get to know each other and collaborate to create a session thats uniquely you.

Hopefully all questions were answered here, but if not please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm always happy to fill in the details.
Start by sending me a message telling me a little about yourself and why you're drawn to my style of photography. If we're a fit, I will offer options for session dates/times, and send an invoice and contract. A non refundable deposit is required within 24 hours to hold the session date/time. Once the session is confirmed, we will start planning all the details!
The full gallery is delivered 3-4 weeks after our session. All photos are delivered via online gallery with the option to download for social media sharing and in high resolution for printing.
It is the client's responsibility to ensure their photos are downloaded, backed up, and safely stored within 30 days of receiving the gallery.
It varies depending on the session, but I generally deliver a minimum of 60 images. My priority is telling your story, so my sessions are all inclusive (meaning you will not need to purchase images over a certain limit.)
I do not provide RAW files.
If there's a slight distraction in the photo (such as boogers or lint) then I'll remove it, but otherwise the photos will be a true representation of things as they are!
A couple of times a year I'll offer shorter studio sessions exclusively to my current clients. Outside of that its full sessions only. My style of photography requires us to take our time, and mini sessions simply don't allow for that. My sessions are also activity based, so keeping little ones engaged isn't as challenging as it would be in a traditional session.
If we can make it work schedule wise, then absolutely! Additional travel fees apply for locations over 1.5 hours from my home. Travel fees can be split if there's more than one booking in a travel location.
