family portraits

from $200

 

Family portrait photography captures the essence of your family's everyday moments in a relaxed and authentic setting. Instead of stiff poses or artificial backdrops, this style of photography focuses on genuine interactions, emotions, and the simple beauty of daily life. Whether it's a walk through the park, a cozy afternoon at home, or a playful outdoor adventure, the goal is to showcase your family's unique connection in an effortless and candid way. The images are filled with warmth, real smiles, and natural light, making them timeless and true to who your family is. This style is perfect for families who want to preserve memories that feel personal, intimate, and true to their lifestyle, rather than just having a series of posed portraits. It’s about telling the story of your family as it truly is.

 

senior portraits

FROM $ 200

 

Senior Portraits are about celebrating a life stage for many students. Their senior year is full of milestones and it is all worth documenting. Senior Portraits can be done for High School graduation as well as College graduation and are encouraged to be done for both (discounts on packages available)!

 

motherhood sessions

from $250

 

You won't be pregnant forever (even though it may feel that way) so capture the look of that sweet baby bump before your little one's big arrival! Having maternity photos to look back on will be a standing reminder of that magical time when new life is growing inside you.  Maternity photos can be done alone but it will also strengthen the bond between you and your partner and allow you to celebrate privately the joys of bringing this new life into the world together. This is a tremendous gift to give your child and the children who come afterwards and something your family will cherish forever.


The ideal time to schedule your maternity photo session is usually in the third trimester, between 28 and 34 weeks.


Mother - to - Baby Packages available as well to combine all those precious moments into one bundle! Contact us for more details & to get booking!

Frequently Asked Questions

i am afraid 15 minutes won’t be long enough for my family. can we extend the time?

The rates for our 2025 Spring Mini Sessions are good for our 15 minute mini sessions only. If you think you may need more time (if you want to include extended family members or have a young child who takes a little while to warm up), we recommend you book a Full Session. You may also book 2 mini sessions back to back to gain more time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the weather is unfavourable for an outdoor shoot?

If the weather is unfavorable for an outdoor shoot, we will work with you to reschedule the session for another available date. We understand how important these photos are, so we’ll make sure to find a new time when the weather is more suitable. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that we’ll take care of everything, and we’ll be in touch to coordinate a new date as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i choose the location of the shoot?

Absolutely! While I’m happy to suggest locations I’ve worked at before and can share example galleries to inspire you, the final choice is entirely up to you. If you'd prefer a more personal setting, we can even do the shoot at your own home or backyard—whatever makes you feel most comfortable and reflects your style!
