Portraits

Family, Kids, Couples, Seniors, Pets

The goal of each session is true smiles, lots of laughs and amazing images of those you love the most.
A professional family portrait session will help you not only capture your beautiful family, but will bring their special personality, unique attributes and fun, playful personas to life.
Whether you’re a new family of three, recently added a new member or are simply savouring this amazing time in your children’s lives, any time is a perfect one for a portrait session.

Sessions take place in studio or on location, in a special spot where your family can be comfortable and have fun—think a favorite park, field, backyard, even your home, or anywhere you just love. Add in some favorite clothes, a special prop or two, and maybe even the family pet, me, and you’ve got a great session - and amazing pictures - you’ll love forever.

  • Custom planning, and stylizing of your session to create the images you desire.

The Portrait Process

Pre-Planning

{ 3 - 4 weeks prior to session }
Determine location, styling, props, and how you want to display your images.
Taking the time to discuss what you want from your images will help us taylor a smooth session and not miss important details.

Paperwork

{ 2 - 3 weeks prior to session }

Session

{ Ready to smile and shine }
Have fun! We've already discussed what to do to prepare for a smooth session, so now just trust me and enjoy your time.
Bring some fun accessories, snacks and water. Make a day of it since you are looking so fabulous, go out for ice cream to reward the kids or a nice dinner to get the most from your new outfit.

Post Processing

{ 1 - 2 weeks following session }
I take care of this. Picking the best images, removing blinks, duplicates and bad snaps. Perfecting color, contrast and crop to make them really shine.

Reveal & Design
