Something that matches your style! I love layering clothing, to add depth to your photos. Depending on the time of year nothing beats a cozy sweater, a scarf, a stylish jacket or a cute pair of boots. Layering clothing not only lets us regulate our temperature, but adds a little more personality and interest into your photo. A scarf, vest, hat, or even a pair of rubber boots can act as a simple way to bring in a pop of color, or help tie everyone’s outfits together.

Should you go matchy-matchy? It's up to you, but I usually recommend complimentary outfits, rather than matching.

That's up to you! I have a few favourite spots around Calgary that I use regularly, but if there's somewhere that's special to you and your family we can probably shoot there too. There will be a small travel fee to cover mileage if you want to shoot anywhere outside the city.

As far as days of the week, it doesn't matter.

When it comes to times, evenings are the very best time to shoot Family Sessions, when the sun is low in the sky. It really depends on the time of year, but I like to aim for 5 or 6 pm in the Spring and Fall, and we can do 7 or 8 pm in the summer and 3 or 4 pm in the Winter.

When you book a session, we'll need a retainer of $199 (Regular Price $399) up front to secure your date. This retainer will be applied towards any of the products you choose during your ordering session.

FALL BONUS: You get a $200 credit towards an image package in addition to the $200 upfront savings.

About 1-2 weeks after your session, you'll see your portraits for the first time at an ordering appointment. You can choose your favourites and select from high-end products like albums, canvases, acrylic canvases, and digital images.

I'm here to make your photography experience easy and enjoyable! 😊📸

This is an appointment we book 1–2 weeks after your shoot date and you get to see your photos for the first time! I'll have curated the best photos and done some pre-editing.

During the the ordering session you'll be making your purchasing decisions, choose your favourite photos and select from high-end products like albums, canvases, acrylic canvases, and digital images (We've got some packages to make it easy for you). We happily accept credit cards, but if you prefer to pay in cash or e-transfer, you'll get a sweet 5% discount as an extra incentive. And, if you need some flexibility, we offer in-house payment plans to spread the cost up to 6 months.

Here are the nitty-gritty details for our payment plans:

For purchases under $1000, you'll need to put 50% down.

For purchases over $1000, a 33% downpayment is required.

The longest term for a payment plan is 6 months.

Your minimum monthly payment will be $250.

Once your payment plan is paid in full, we'll happily deliver your products and images. Keep in mind, because our work is digital and custom, all sales are final. If you're interested in our fine art albums and wall art, they typically take 4–6 weeks.

You need these for the 'gram. Totally.

For all photos your order a product for (prints, albums, etc) we will include web-ready copies on a USB thumbdrive. If you want to order just digital images those are delivered in high-resolution on USB thumbdrive.

About a week after our session we'll have scheduled an ordering appointment where you'll first get to gush over your photos (everyone does!). You'll see a pre-edited and curated gallery. After you choose your images I'll do final retouching and that takes about a week. If you choose a purely digital package you'll get your images delivered at that point. If you're interested in our fine art albums and wall art, they typically take 4–6 weeks.
