FAQ
How far should I book in advance?
Sessions are best to book two to three weeks in advance, with weekends being a busier time and recommended four to five weeks in advance. Give me a call and we will work out the best time for everyone.
I do occasionally have sooner openings, give me a call and we'll find the right date.
If your session is an emergency “Celebration of Life”, I am more than willing to work with you on short notice (time permitting), call me as soon as possible. 587-447-4455
What time of day will my session be at?
To take advantage of the warmest and most flattering light, most outdoor sessions are held 1-2 hours before sunset, or at sunrise. Times change depending on the time of year to capture the best lighting for people and pets.
Some photo sessions are scheduled during full sun (noon), to take advantage of blue skies and gorgeous sunny Alberta.
Studio sessions are simpler, with only your and my schedule to coordinate.
What should I bring?
Pet Sessions:
– Bring a collar and leash for each pet (or crate/carrier depending on species).
– Bring your pet’s favourite toy and yummy treats.
– Any special props (perch, log, pet bed) to make our pet feel at home.
People Sessions:
– Don't stress it, we will discuss colors/themes to bring everything together ahead of time.
– If the session involves kids, bring their favourite teddy bear and some snacks!
– Special mementos
Does my pet have to be trained?
No, certainly not. Although having a pet that is trained to “sit/stay” can make a session go smoother, it is not a requirement. Your dog does not need to be off-leash for their photo session. If you are concerned about your young dog’s energy level, I recommend a walk to help calm them down before hand. I have plenty of experience working with unruly pups and am a very patient person. We will capture the images you are looking for, and create the perfect moment. Don't stress it!
How much will Products cost?
Photo Sessions and Final Products are purchased separately to allow you the flexibility to work without your budget. Additional artwork such as canvas, acrylic prints, professional photo books, or high resolution digitals can be added on at the time of booking or during the image selection process.
Most clients spend $500 to $1000 on their final products.
We can discuss what products you're looking for and look at examples of the final artwork.
