FAQ
Some frequently questions and answers
I love traveling! There is an additional travel/time fee of $.60/km up to 100 km from my area. Your cost of travel will depend on the location, but we’ll go wherever you want us!
A few popular locations:
Waterton – $220.00
Crowsnest Pass – $240.00
Banff – $500.00
Ask about specific locations!
-Be YOU, be comfortable, wear something you feel confident in. Be sure to try on what you’re thinking of wearing and see how you feel.
-Go for loose, flowy, natural fabrics like linen, cottons etc that will move with you, or dress to the nines in your formal best!
For men don’t be afraid to wear a suit or sports jacket. Stay away from bold bright patterns and fine stripes.
-Neutral, earthy colors such as beige, grey, white, black, rust, mustard, blush, or soft blue all look beautiful in the locations I generally shoot at. When in doubt, YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH NEUTRAL COLOURS!
-Avoid large prints, patterns and any large graphics or logos.
-I don’t recommend wearing exactly the same colours or being too matchy. Wear colours that compliment each other.

I have got you covered!
In my experience everyone who’s ever said they were awkward ended up rocking the being-in-front-of-the-camera thing! I have developed a posing system with a mix of guided candids and portraits that has been working well and I will never leave you stranded. I’ll guide you through the session.
Before the session you’ll fill out a questionnaire that will help me to get to know you more and gear the sessions towards what is most “you”.
If you have a location in mind, absolutely! Maybe you have access to a property for your unique session. I am always open to anything you have in mind, but if you don’t know where to start, I will happily help you choose a location based on your preferences that you share in the questionnaire.
Your curated gallery will be delivered in an online gallery for you to download your edited full resolution digital images.
Prints and other products will be available for purchase through the gallery.
Part of my service as a photographer is the editing to give your photos their consistent clean look, so I do not sell or give out RAW files.
I believe you are beautiful the way you are, and won’t alter or Photoshop you into a new person! I will edit things that don’t normally appear like acne or bruises upon request.
If you’re self-conscious about anything, let me know in advance and I can take that into account when posing and directing. The goal is to make sure you’re comfortable during your shoot, and you love the photos after.
If it’s not too windy, rainy, or cold, we embrace it! If it’s raining to the point that my gear will get damaged, or it’s too windy, I am happy to reschedule at no charge to the next available date.
Not typically, but if I’m ever running a promotion, you’ll see it over on my Instagram.
If you’re looking for destination photography, please reach out to discuss a personal plan based on your location.
I’m all for different! If you have an idea or theme that you think would suit you, let me hear it! This can include props you might want to bring, a picnic in the mountains, a 50′ style shoot complete with the vintage bicycle… you name it! Just let me know what you’re thinking and we’ll figure it out!
If I had to describe my editing style, it would be clean, minimal, and bright. The goal is to edit in a way that years later the images will still be timeless.
You are welcome to bring any props we’ve discussed. Otherwise, bring yourself. For families, make sure everyone is fed and rested. Bring all the snacks you need to keep your little ones happy. 🙂
Yes, I do offer studio sessions for newborns, maternity, cake-smash photos or families with younger children.
My sessions are designed to be fun, fast moving and mostly candid and relaxed. I always try to get the posed pictures done first in each set and then dedicate the rest of the set for candid, playful photos.
I’ve never walked away from a session without having gotten any photos…
You can order prints right from your gallery!
For online, or local print shops, I like blacks.ca, prolabcanada.ca, London Drugs.
It is important that you turn off their auto-optimization feature. Your images will already be edited, and their auto editing will usually mess with your photos.
