Mini Session fine print and FAQ's:

How do I book a session? Email me with your preferred time/date (and a second choice). I will confirm via email your confirmed spot. The full fee is due upon booking to reserve your spot. Last year these sessions booked up quickly resulting in a wait list so don't delay!

What if we are not feeling well the day of the session? What is your policy for Covid-19?

If you or a member of your family has any symptoms of illness, or you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, your session will either be re-booked to a different date or your session fee will be refunded.

The same goes for me! If myself or one of my family members has any symptoms of illness or we find out that we have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, your session will either be re-booked to a different date or your session fee will be refunded.

Where do the sessions take place?  Mini-sessions will be located in the west end of the city in a park-like setting. Location and details are confirmed the week prior to the date.

I'm worried my kids might not behave... My best advice for parents is to relax and have fun and to not worry about smiling for the camera. The best thing you can do to keep the session moving smoothly is to engage your children with silly jokes, games, tickling, cuddling, songs, etc. If they are being little buggers, just laugh it off. Please don't offer food or drink during the session (save these as treats for after we are finished). 

I'm worried about only having 20 minutes for the session. What if my kids don't cooperate during that time? Depending on the size of your family and your life-stage, it might be a better fit for you to do a full session, which offers flexibility for timing, location and breaks. If you're not sure what's best for your family, send me a note and we can figure it out together. 

What if it rains? In the event of inclement weather, your session will either be re-booked to a different date or your session fee will be refunded.

What is included in the fee? The fee covers your 20-minute outdoor session as well 20–25 high resolution digital files. Within 4 weeks, you will receive a link to an online, password-protected gallery where your images will be available for direct download for 6 weeks.

What happens if we need to cancel? Email me and we will figure out an alternate plan for your session. While I generally do not offer refunds without valid reasons, these are crazy times and I am more than happy to reschedule if necessary or make exceptions due to circumstances. I’m a mom, I get it.

These sessions are always a hit and I can't wait to spend time with some of my favourite families and to meet new ones too!

calling on the universe

A friend recently posted on Facebook "a call to the universe" for a few of things she would like to attract into her work-life, and it got me to thinking about my own work and what the next little while would have in store. I took the summer off this year to spend it with my girls and I honestly was not prepared AT ALL when September hit and we had to go back to reality this past Tuesday. I sheepishly responded to emails and apologized for delays. 

I had prepared this blog post back in March but never hit the post-button. I have no idea why. Was I feeling nervous or insecure? Probably. Either way, something held me back. But the truth is that I really enjoyed this session and I should have shared it back in March! Along with so many other sessions that I have loved. And I'd like more of these in my life. So here's my call to the universe as I get my work-life back in to order this week. I'd really love to book more maternity and newborn sessions this fall and winter – cozy, cuddly, casual, easy, no-fuss, lots of love, forget the stress, be in the moment – type of sessions. There it is, out there for the universe.

For baby E and his parents who shared a quiet morning with me in their new home. Even though my girls are out of this stage now, it still tugs at my heart to be around a little one at this age. Discovering their hands and feet, taking delight in music and books, nothing but smiles for mom and dad, babbling and quiet cuddles. It's just so darn cute and it goes by way too quickly.

Family, extended-family, maternity and newborn sessions 

These sessions typically take place in the early morning or late afternoon/early evening and generally last 1-2 hours, allowing for breaks and flexibility. The session is personalized to suit your family – together we decide on the location that works best for you, but often we start at your home and then move on to a nearby park (or vice versa).

For further details on a family session or to reserve a date, send me an email or fill out the online contact form. 

I'm pretty excited!!  

This is going to be a great season and I can't wait to spend time with some of my favourite families and to meet new ones too!

I recently had a chance to catch up with this lovely lady and I realized that I hadn't blogged this session from last spring. Needless to say, the babes in these photos are a whole year older now. It's just another reminder of how quickly time is passing by! I'll never get tired of photographing this sweet family.  Stef's maternity session can be seen here.
