The Experience

My goal is to make sure you feel fully taken care of throughout the entire process as we work together to create images that feel like you. I know that investing in photos, whether for your business or your personal life, can feel like a big step, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m truly honoured that you’re trusting me to tell a piece of your story.

We’ll plan your session together so that your vision and goals come to life. I’ll combine your ideas with my guidance and experience to create images that capture not just what you do but who you are.

That’s really what this is all about: documenting this season, this chapter, this version of you, so that when you look back, you remember what it felt like to be here.

So what is a typical session with me like...?

Before Your Session

Once your session is booked, I’ll send over your prep guide and a short questionnaire so I can get to know you and your goals a little better. Whether you’re a business owner planning a brand shoot or a family preparing for photos together, this helps me understand what matters most to you.

From there, we’ll plan your session together — choosing the right locations, outfits, and overall tone so it feels true to you. You’ll have all the information you need ahead of time, so when the day comes, you can just show up and enjoy the experience.

Settling In

When we meet, we’ll take a few minutes to get comfortable and chat through any last details. I’ll help with final outfit decisions, make sure everything feels right, and give you a sense of how things will flow.

My goal is always to create an atmosphere where you can relax and just be yourself. The best images come when you forget there’s even a camera involved.

During the Session

Once we start shooting, I’ll guide you every step of the way. Sometimes that means giving specific direction, and other times it’s just a gentle prompt to help something natural unfold. I’ll talk and laugh with you throughout — because it’s meant to feel easy and fun, not formal or stiff.

For brand sessions, we’ll move through a mix of setups to capture your personality, your work, and the energy of your brand. For families, maternity, or newborns, we’ll slow down when needed and focus on connection — those real, unposed moments that matter most.

Variety & Flow

Throughout your session, we’ll change things up — different spaces, movements, or wardrobe changes if you’d like. I’ll keep an eye on the light and guide the flow so it all feels natural and seamless. The variety helps us tell a fuller story, while keeping everything feeling relaxed and intentional.

Before We Wrap Up

Before we finish, I’ll always check in to make sure there’s nothing you were hoping to capture that we haven’t already. I want you to leave feeling confident and excited about what we created together.

Most sessions last about an hour, and by the end you’ll probably say what most people do: that it was way easier — and more fun — than you expected.

After Your Session

You’ll receive a Delivery Guide from me that outlines what to expect, my editing and delivery timelines, and tips for downloading and using your images.

 

Within 3–6 weeks, your online gallery will be ready for you to view and make your selections.

At that stage, you can choose to upgrade and purchase additional images or simply stick with what’s included in your package. Once your selections are finalized, you’ll be able to download and share your photos right away.
