What kind of photographer are you?
I am a lifestyle/documentary photographer, which means I want to capture you and your loved ones sharing real and genuine moments and emotions. I do pose and direct my clients but in a way that encourages you to relax and be real with your family members. I love to capture families, maternity, newborns, couples, and engagements and events and milestones. If you are looking for something else send me a message and I will let you know if we would be a good fit.
Where are you located?
I am located in the Niagara Region but I can travel if needed. There is a travel fee for locations further than 25km.
What goes into setting your prices?
Great question! I am what you could call an “all inclusive photographer”. Typically photographers will charge a lower session fee and then you purchase the digital images or prints separately. Or the packages will include a limited number of photos from your session (some photographers also don’t include digital files in their packages at all). I give you all of the (good) digital copies from your shoot edited in high resolution and ready to download through your own beautiful online gallery. These are precious family memories and I don’t think you should have to choose which memories you like best. In addition to session time, I lovingly go through your gallery and carefully edit each picture until I am fully satisfied with the result. I want to provide you with images that you are excited to share with your friends and family.
Where will my session be held?
In the beautiful outdoors! I can recommend some of my favourite outdoor locations or if you have a location in mind that means something to you please feel free to let me know. Newborn sessions will be shot in your home where it is safe and comfortable for your whole family. I am hoping to have an indoor studio in the future.
What will my session be like?
My goal is to have a super fun and laid back session with you. I want to bring out the best in you and capture your family the way you see them. We may get silly at times but this can make for some of the best pictures!
What should I wear?
I am not overly concerned about what you choose to wear because I want you to be comfortable and feel like yourself. That being said; if you love to dress up and want to bring it at your session, that is awesome!! Pinterest has some great inspiration. It is best if you coordinate your outfits but don’t match, (unless that’s what you're going for) otherwise you may end up blending into each other. Comfy and casual is also always welcome. Like I said, be yourself. I am focused on your connection and not what you look like.
*Just be aware that if you wear bright neon colours (such as pink or green) they can cast that colour on to your skin. It can be very difficult to edit and may result in unflattering results. Neutral colours can be a safe bet!
Will I get the digital photos from my session?
You sure will!!! (YAY)
I will upload your high resolution digital images onto a beautiful online gallery that you will receive via email.
Can I order prints and products from you?
Yes, if you are interested in ordering prints and products, please let me know and we can consult about prices.
What can you expect from me?
Ultimately, I want you to leave our session feeling happy and excited about your images. I strive to give you photographs that are true to your family and that you will cherish for a lifetime. Nothing makes me happier than embodying a family the way they see themselves, or sometimes even helping people realize how beautiful they truly are. If you are not happy for any reason I will do everything in my power to make it right for you. I am genuinely living my passion and my clients are extremely important to me. If you have any questions at all do not hesitate to send me an email and we can chat, no obligations. I look forward to meeting you!
