What is included in my package?

See pricing page. Email me with questions.

When and how do I receive my photos?

Within two weeks of your session you will receive an online gallery of edited high resolution digital files in colour and black + white to choose from.

Can I print my photos anywhere?

Yes… but keep reading for my two cents… All of my photography packages include a print release, meaning the photos are yours to print as you please. I do recommend that you print with my professional print lab to guarantee quality and accurate colour. Prints can be ordered from your online gallery. I have a wide variety of print sizes and products for you to order if you choose. Printing at poor quality print shops is not recommended. Please do not edit or alter your digital images in any way, including filters on social media photo apps.

Can you travel to my town outside of Burlington, Oakville, Waterdown or Hamilton area?

Depending on my schedule, yes. Please inquire for rates and availability.

What is the best time for maternity portraits?

It’s best to schedule your maternity session when you are between 32-35 weeks so that you have a nice round baby bump – that’s what we’re aiming to capture after all – but you are also still able to move around relatively easy at this stage.

What is the best time for newborn portraits?

Newborns are best captured in the first 3 weeks so they look fresh and new. However, because I use a lot of relaxed and baby-led posing, I am able to photograph newborns up to 7 weeks old. Missed this window? No worries. Send me a message with baby's age and I'll go over the amazing options I have for older babies.

What is the best time for older baby portraits?

My absolute favourite time is when baby is sitting but not yet crawling, usually around 6-8 months. They are full of smiles and have lots of personality.

What happens if my baby is born early or late?

It's totally fine. I only take on a certain amount of due dates per month so that I can have the flexibility in my schedule.

What should I wear/how do I prepare for my session?

You will receive a session prep guide upon booking with detailed instructions on what to wear, what to bring with you and how to prepare for your shoot. Please arrive on time for your scheduled session. Your outdoor session start time is based on the sunlight and if we start late we will have less shooting time, resulting in less final images. I allow time for soothing a fussy baby and taking feeding breaks.

Do you have props?

For studio sessions I have lots of simple and neutral props. For in-home lifestyle sessions, I bring a few swaddle blankets and baby girl headbands with me. My style is very natural and aims to capture real moments - this is why I don't require a lot of props.

Do you have a client wardrobe?

Yes! I have a full studio wardrobe for mamas full of lovely dresses and tops that will elevate your images and photograph beautifully. You are welcome to borrow some pieces for your session(s).

Why do I need to pay a deposit?

All of my photography packages require a non-refundable deposit of $200 + HST. This initial deposit reserves your session time. I understand that sometimes things happen… kids get sick, there is a family emergency…. You can reschedule your session up to 24 hours before the session date and your deposit will move to your new session date. But, if you cancel your session and do not reschedule, you forfeit your deposit. Cancellations and rescheduling must be submitted 24 hours before your session time. If you don’t show up for your appointment or you are more than 15 minutes late, your deposit will be forfeited and you must reschedule a new appointment and pay a new deposit. Let me know of any schedule changes or issues as soon as you can and I will try to be flexible and accommodate your needs.

What happens if it rains?

On the day of our session I will check the hourly forecast to see if there is a high chance of rain during our session time. If so, I'll reach out and we will reschedule - your deposit will push to the new date. A cloudy forecast is perfectly fine - clouds give even and flattering light.

Indoor sessions are fine if it's raining or cloudy.

Do you offer gift certificates?

Contact me, we’ll chat about this.

Did I miss your question? Check out my Library of Informative Posts that give very detailed answers to a lot of the questions families have prior to or after booking their session. If you still have question I didn't answer, Send me a note. I am happy to address any and all questions you have. If you wish to speak to me on the phone please send me an email and I will arrange a time to chat with you during my office hours.
