FAQs
What types of photography do you offer?
I photograph all things motherhood and family — from baby bumps to newborn snuggles to backyard giggles with your not-so-little ones. Whether it’s your first maternity shoot or your annual family photo tradition, I’m here to capture the connection, chaos, and everything in between.
How do I book a photography session with you?
It’s super simple — just fill out the contact form on my website, and I’ll get back to you with all the details you need to book. Once we’ve picked a date and session type that feels right, a signed agreement and deposit will make it official. Easy peasy.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! You can choose a location that feels meaningful to you — whether it’s your home, a favorite park, or a hidden gem in Vancouver. If you’re not sure where to go, I’m happy to suggest a few beautiful spots based on your style and vibe. Just let me know what you have in mind, and we’ll make it happen!
If you’d like a location outside Vancouver city limits, please note there will be a small travel fee to cover the additional distance. Just let me know, and I’ll provide all the details!
How long does a typical photo session last?
You can choose between my different packages - depending on your needs! The smallest package is 1 hour, then I offer 2 hours or 3 hours. In any case, we'll always take breaks and follow the lead of the baby/toddler/kids to make sure they've got their snacks and are still in the mood.
Side note: My sessions are designed for you and your little family. If you'd like to include grandma or other extended family members, please book the 2 hour session at a minimum.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I know, waiting is the hardest part! You’ll get your final images within 1-2 weeks after your session. I take my time to make sure each one is perfectly edited and ready to wow you. Once your gallery is ready, you'll get full access to download, share, and order prints—basically, it’s like a little treasure chest of memories at your fingertips!
When's the best time to book my maternity session?
The sweet spot is between 28–34 weeks. That’s when your bump is beautifully round, but you’re (hopefully) still feeling pretty comfortable moving around. If you’re later along — don’t stress. We can still make magic. Just reach out and we’ll chat options!
When's the best time for my newborn session?
Most newborn sessions happen within the first 2–3 weeks after baby arrives — when they’re still super sleepy and snuggly. But honestly? There’s no wrong time. Whether your baby is 5 days or 5 weeks, we’ll capture all the goodness of this fresh new chapter.
What's included in your session fee?
Your session fee covers everything from the planning to the final gallery. This includes the pre-session consultation (where we talk all about your vision), finding the right location for you, helping you decide what to wear, the shoot itself, editing time, and access to your beautiful online gallery with your final images. Depending on which package you chose, large photo prints and an heirloom photo album are also included.
All your images are included - there is no extra cost to download those memories.
I’m here to make sure it’s a smooth, fun, and memorable experience, from start to finish!
How many final images do we get?
I'm all about preserving the memories - so I include ALL images from your session that are "good" - aka, eyes are open, you're in focus, etc.! For a 1 hour session that is a minimum of 50 edited images in high resolution, the longer sessions will get you more!
Do you charge a travel fee?
For locations outside of Vancouver city limits, there is a travel fee to cover the extra time and costs. I’ll always let you know the travel fee upfront, so there are no surprises when it comes time to book your session. So, whether we’re capturing your moments in the city or heading out into the scenic surrounds, I’ve got it covered!
At-home sessions: How clean does it really need to be?
Your home doesn’t need to be spotless or Instagram-perfect! Focus on one or two rooms with the best natural light (hello, big windows!). We’ll keep things cozy and relaxed, and I’ll capture the real moments of your family. A little clutter here and there? Totally fine! I won’t bat an eye at some things stuffed away in a closet (we’re all human, right?). We’re not aiming for perfection, just for authenticity and connection. So, as long as the light’s good and you’re comfortable, we’re all set!
Are you going to share our photos online?
I love sharing the beautiful moments we create together! But don't worry, I’ll always check in with you first to make sure you’re comfortable with your photos being shared on my website or social media. You can always opt-out if you’d prefer to keep your photos private—your family’s privacy and comfort are my priority! So, no surprises here, and always a chance for you to approve.
How does your referral program work?
It’s simple! If you refer a friend and they book a session with me, they’ll receive a $50 gift toward their session, and as a thank-you, you’ll also receive a $50 gift toward your next session.
When are your next Mini sessions?
I'm honestly not sure yet! I love offering motherhood minis in the lead up to Mother's Day every year - if that's something you're interested in, reach out and I'll add you to my mailing list for VIP access <3
