We solemnly swear to never say cheese

Our session is going to be fun—I promise. Like hanging out with a friend who happens to be taking lots of photos. There’s a good chance we’ll be real friends by the end of the session, and I may try to hug you before I pack up and go.

Throughout the entire session my goal is to help you relax and be yourselves (if that calls for a sip of whisky first, I’m okay with that). Just pretend I’m not there and act naturally while I catch you cuddling, tickling your kids, jumping on the bed, giving (or getting) piggyback rides. The more connection (whether that be touching or interaction with each other) the better.

If the kids (or grownups) are acting out or being goofy, no sweat. I’m all about those real moments: tongues sticking out, milk mustaches, bedhead.

I have nothing against cheese—it’s great with macaroni. But I prefer cheese-free photography. Oh, and natural light is essential.

Investment

(all sessions include the custom edited, high resolution digital files that you can download from your gallery at anytime)

Mini session: $500.  A fun and fast paced 30 minute session, best suited for smaller families.  The mini session is available in West Vancouver or North Vancouver only, at a location we choose together.  It includes approximately 50 high resolution files.

Signature Session: $700.  A 60 minute session at home and/or a location of your choice.  A mixture of candid and some posed.  Includes approximately 100 high resolution photos.

Weekday Session: $650.  Same as the signature session but booked during Monday-Thursday.

Lifestyle Session: $950.  A 90 - 120 minute session using a more documentary style approach.  The session typically takes place at multiple locations...perhaps we start at your home and take some photos of morning cuddles and waffle making and then walk to a favourite beach or park.  Or maybe I follow your family along on a boat trip, ending with everyone jumping into the ocean.  The extra time together allows for lots of in between, candid moments and more creativity.  Also good for extended families.  

Belly + Baby: A 30 minute mini session with your big, beautiful belly and a signature session with your wee newborn.  Cost is $975 if booked together.

Same Time Next Year:  I'd love to take photos of your family every year, catching the moments of wobbly first steps, missing teeth, new puppies, and braces-just-off.  Returning families get $50 off the flat rate, just because I hate to say goodbye.

I collect a $250 deposit when you book, and the balance on the day of our session.  You can pay via shopping cart here, or I accept Interac email transfer, credit card, Paypal, cash or cheque.
