Here are the types of sessions I offer

Before I dive into the session types I offer, I wanted to say that my approach is a lifestyle one. My style of editing is bright and airy because to me, that reminds me of joy. I also give prompts that help families act more naturally. I love incorporating movements in my photos. Although I understand the importance of everyone looking at the camera shot, I usually only ask you to look for a couple of the frames, and then we let it go and move on to more of how you are as a family. Now onto it…

Single Session

This is for you if you want help from start to finish. For this session, you can borrow kid’s and mama’s dresses for the session. I bring them all to you on the day of the session so you do not worry about the stress of planning outfits. 

For this type of session, you also get to choose the date and time (we plan around your child’s naptime). I always say I’d take a good mood over any good light. The session is however long you need it to be, taking into account breaks for snacks, change of clothes, or just a break from all the fun prompts and games. 

We take our time during the single session and we let the kids be. Give them breaks as needed. We let them play. And I capture you as you are – from the biggest details to the smallest of them.

Petite Session

Petite Sessions are typically offered in May, June and August. These are 30 minutes of session time and work best for families wanting quick updated photos. I set the location and time of day. This year the petite sessions were at the Orchard, Rose Garden and Flower Farm. I’ve also added beach petites this September. This will be the middle ground of all the types of sessions I offer. If the price tag of a single full session is out of the question, but the mini session is too short, maybe the petite session is the one for you. 

Seasonal Mini Sessions (Motherhood and Holiday)

This session is a quick and easy session. That is, if your child does not need a warmup and can pretty much be on the go right away. Due to the session being only 15 minutes while stacked with other clients, I work fast and let you know all the prompts and directions to get your portraits done within the time limit. Mini sessions are the most cost efficient ways if you are looking to work with me. The day and time is set by me and you have to book your time slot ahead based on availability! See holiday minis available this 2024!

Collective Membership 

The first year of any child’s life is when they change the most. This is the reason behind the Collective Membership offer. If you know for sure you’d want it documented, you want to sign up for this. It includes 4 full sessions in the span of 18 months. All images are included and wardrobe for mama and baby. You also get priority on my calendar. Imagine documenting all of Canada’s 4 beautiful seasons as your family grows. These are not only the perks, you also get a free spot in any of my minis – either holiday or motherhood per year. 

Some of my clients continue this membership beyond the first year and will schedule photos twice a year (spring and fall) which works out with the 18 months timeline.  Are you ready to book any of these sessions? Please send me a message here so we can get the ball rolling!
