A glass of wine and a good book before bed.
1. Where will my shoot be?
- We will shoot in my north west Edmonton studio, or if you prefer an outdoor setting, I will choose the perfect location. There are so may great location spots in Edmonton! Many factors go into deciding on a location - time of year, the ages of your children, accessibility, etc. I no longer offer in-home sessions.
2. What time will the shoot be?
- If we are shooting outdoors, your shoot will start an hour before sunset, year round. Note that the sun set is LATE in Edmonton in the summer, so if you need an earlier shoot time, don’t wait to book your fall session!
- Indoor shoot are held mid-day.
3. What should we wear?
- I will provide detailed guidance on this after you book.
- I have an extensive client closet containing women’s dresses, children’s clothes, and newborn outfits and wraps
4. Can you photoshop me?
- My rule is if it’ll be gone in a week, I’ll edit it (e.g., a bruise). I don’t heavily airbrush skin or alter facial features or bodies, which is why it is extra important for you to send me photos of you IN YOUR INTENDED OUTFITS well before your shoot date so I can tell you how it fits.
- If you generally hate how you look in photos and airbrush every perceived imperfection before posting them to Instagram, I'd love to show you how beautiful you truly are - - No airbrushing, no body reshaping.
5. Are we a good fit?
- My style is candid, full of life, warm and imperfect. I require that all new clients book a short phone call with me so I can ensure I understand your vision for a shoot, and so you can ensure I am the photographer for you!
6. What if my kids are feral animals?
- Something I like to make very clear, especially if you have small children, is that I am not going to direct you or your children too much. We are going to head to a location with something to do, whether it’s climbing logs, searching for sticks, or running wild. I want you just to have fun, and not fret about a thing. I’ll follow your family’s lead and capture all your little moments along the way.
- Yes. Your retainer is required to secure your session date, and then we can break up the remainder however you like.
