I recommend booking your session 3-4 months in advance. You can certainly book as soon as you know you are expecting or up to a year in advance. I take only 5 bookings a month, as I'm a busy homeschooling Mom of three. Occasionally there are still last-minute spaces available, so don’t hesitate to check in and see.

No, not at all. I hate being faced with sneaky ‘extra costs’ myself, so I made my packages all inclusive. The package prices + gst, are the totals. If you choose to, there is the option to purchase extra digitals or products, but it is not required.

Payment plans are possible, if there is enough time before your session date to do this. This is why I recommend booking your session at least 3-4 months in advance. A minimum $299 deposit is due upon booking and the remainder can be split into 2 or 3 more payments. Your full package price is due prior to your session date. Sessions will not occur without full payment made.

I love helping my clients plan outfits for the whole family. Your clothing is so important in your professional images. This is why I have built my own client closet. I have a selection of outfits for babies, children and Mamas that are comfortable and photograph beautifully. You don’t have to worry about finding your own clothing, I’ve got you covered. You can see the wardrobe options online here!

You can definitely wear your own clothes for your session but I highly recommend using the client closet. It will make such a difference in your final images. I advise families to select 3-5 clothing colours and mix them up between tops, bottoms and accessories.  You want your group to look great together, but not too similar. Avoid busy patterns and graphics or words on clothing.

Family photos are included in all the session types EXCEPT for the newborn mini and the milestone package. If you would like family photos please book one of the full sessions.

Seeing your pictures is the best part! You will be sent an online PROOF gallery  within one week of your session. Proofs are images that are not edited, which allows me to get your gallery out much quicker.  Once you make your final selections, I do a full, final edit on those images.

Your proof gallery will include around 40 - 60 images. These are the best images taken at your session. I do not show all of the images captured.  Most of the excluded images have eyes closed, someone not looking or are duplicates that aren't as good as what made the cut. I never sell RAW or unedited images.

Yes, of course! After seeing your proof gallery, if you decide that you want to buy more digitals or products, you can. Digital images are sold individually or in sets of 5, 10, 15 or 20. High quality, heirloom products are also available for purchase.  Request a catalogue to see what is available.

During the slower months digital images are usually ready in 1-3 weeks.  It is possible to see longer wait times during the fall busy season, but I try to get your images to you as quickly as possible. I edit sessions in order of when they were taken, unless someone hasn't made their image selections yet, I may skip over them to the next person.  Make sure to select your images as soon as possible so I can start editing them.

This is a hard one to put a date on. Some items come quickly, within 1-2 weeks after edits are complete, so it largely depends on what products you order. My edits are generally done in 1-3 weeks and orders are placed as soon as possible. The albums and custom hand-carved frames come from Europe and those take the longest, around 6-8 weeks. Whichever items you order, I am doing my best to get them to you as soon as I can.

Babies older than 6 weeks can not be posed like a newborn.  They are often awake the entire session and don't like to be squished up tight in the newborn poses.  If your baby is older than 6 weeks, please book a family session.  We can still capture pictures of baby alone in the bassinet and with loved ones.  Please plan ahead for your newborn session so it can occur in the first 3 weeks after birth.  Younger than 3 weeks old is the ideal time for a newborn session.
