Usually, a session lasts around an hour for family sessions outdoors, but we will take more time if we need to. Equally, if the kids are over it after half an hour, we can cut it short.

Don't worry at all. We'll get that family portrait of the family you are and with them in it as they are. Making sure the kids are fed and not stressed by other events that day usually is enough. Don't threaten them, but we might use a little bribe here and there ;)

Tell them what we will be doing, show them the website, and involve them in decision-making! Let them pick an outfit you both love. Ask them if they want a photo of something that means a lot to them. Let them bring their favorite toy. They will enjoy the process a lot more if they are involved in it.

We provide a dress guide in our welcome package but generally - No matching, please. Some color coordination is excellent, but everyone wearing the same outfit is not. Think of it to create pops of colour. Our favourite colours on clothes are warm reds, mustard yellows, and faded blues. Wear something that feels like you and makes you feel good. Also, no wild patterns and no large logos. They will distract from everything else. And last, layering is a great way to change outfits easily during the shoot if you like some variety.

Yes, you can. We are artists and graphic designers by trade, so we are happy to take that album design out of your hands and off your to-do list. Prints in all forms and sizes, from calendars and gallery boards to canvases, everything can be ordered directly from your gallery. Super easy.

We do and are more than happy to discuss that with you.

Let's mix it up, then. We can get a few of the classic "everyone looks at the camera and smile" shots and then see what happens. The feedback I often get is that the classics are nice, and Grandma is happy about her framed shot, but that the others are the ones that make everyone happy to look at over and over again.
