Frequently Asked Questions

  • Family sessions take place outdoors at an agreed upon location within 20km of my home base of Shallow Lake, ON — about 15-minutes outside of Owen Sound. I do capture sessions at my country property, but also have several preferred locations in the area that I like to use. I am happy to accommodate client requests too! I am always willing to capture sessions at locations outside of my travel radius as well, though an additional travel fee will apply.

    I have an in-home [basement] studio where my newborn and baby milestone sessions take place. Maternity sessions and head shot sessions can also be captured in-studio.

  • A submitted contract and non-refundable retainer ($100) are required to secure your session date. Until both are received, your date remains open and available to other inquiries. Because I accept a limited number of sessions each month, I am unable to hold dates without a completed booking.

    For newborn sessions, I use baby’s due date as the tentative session date to ensure that I leave enough availability within my calendar for the two weeks around that date. This allows me the opportunity to provide you with a few date options in my schedule once baby arrives. I try my best to accommodate last minute requests, however if you wait until after your baby is born to book your newborn session, there is a chance that I may not have availability.

    ** Retainers are non-refundable but may be transferred to a new date in the event of illness or emergency.

  • Each session is unique, and the total number of images in your proofing gallery will vary. Most full sessions result in a curated gallery of approximately 40-60 images. I prioritize delivering a cohesive, intentional collection that ensures quality over quantity.

    Session packages include a set amount of images that are selected by you. All final images are hand-edited to ensure consistency, colour accuracy, and a polished final result.

  • No, I do not provide or sell RAW files.

    RAW images are unfinished, unprocessed files and are not representative of my final work. Final images have been thoughtfully selected and professionally edited to reflect my signature style, colour consistency, and overall quality.

  • Friendly, well-behaved dogs are welcome to participate in outdoor sessions, as well as in-home lifestyle newborn sessions.

    For studio sessions, pets are not permitted. While I absolutely appreciate how special they are to your family (I am a dog owner myself!), the studio environment must remain calm, clean, and safe for my clients.
