Maternity

Maternity sessions generally take about 1 hour and include 2 backdrop changes. The clothing is supplied by our studio, however, you are more than welcome to bring along anything else you would like to photographed in. It is recommended to schedule your session at around 7-7 1/2 month mark in your pregnancy. Please let us know when you book your session, if you know the sex of baby, as we can include this in some of the images.

Approximately 1 week after your session you will come back for a viewing to go over print options, etc. As well, you will have your own photo gallery on the website to view your images at home. 


Newborns

Newborn sessions are best if scheduled 5-10 days after birth. This is when baby is most pliable and sleepy. We always take our time with newborns, and your session may take anywhere between 1.5-3 hours, depending on how baby is doing, breaks for feeding, etc.  As well, our newborn session generally start with a feeding.

The studio is kept extremely warm for these sessions, so dress light. Most of the props, blankets, etc. shown in our web gallery are supplied by the studio, but feel free to bring along any special items you would like your baby photographed in/with.

If mom and dad would like to be included in some of the images, it is suggested to wear black shirts as this is most flattering to new moms. Siblings are also welcome to join the session. And it is suggested to bring along brighter clothing for younger children.

Approximately 1 week after your session, you will come back for a viewing to go over print options, card options, and sizes. As well, you will have your own photo gallery on the website to view the images at home.


Family

Family sessions generally take between 1-1.5 hours, and include 2 backdrop changes.  Individual shots and different groupings are also included in your session.  For clothing, it is suggested that everyone be in same color tones, so everyone in darker tones or everyone in lighter tones.  All in black shirts and jeans looks great, as well as brown, red, and white.  For a more formal look, all black looks great, or all darker tones.  Please note - if you choose a formal look, please bring along dress shoes.  For the casual look, we usually have you go barefoot (studio sessions only).  The same tips apply to outdoor sessions.  Clothing to avoid - shiny fabric or extremely bright clothing.  

Approximately one week after your session, you will come back for a viewing to go over print options, etc.  As well, you will have your own photo gallery on the website to view your images at home.


Kids

Children sessions generally take between 1-2 hours, depending on the age of the children, and include 2 backdrop changes.  You are welcome to bring a clothing change, and we do supply some of the 'dress up' clothing you see on the gallery (fedora, tie, tutus, etc.).  For smaller children, we try to schedule your session for the time of day that works best for them, so right after a nap is great!
