Family sessions

An hour outside, about 90 minutes before sunset. Kids can run, dig and climb. I’ll get the photo of everyone looking, and the ones in between.

Your home

Before your session

  • Clothes: soft colours, no big logos or slogans. Matching isn’t needed.
  • Kids: feed them first and bring a snack. Bribes are fine.
  • Weather: if it rains or the wind is too much, we move the date. No fee.

Just the two of you

Engagement and couples sessions run the same way: an hour, a place that means something to you, and a gallery two weeks later.

Planning a proposal? Tell me where and when, and I’ll be the person walking a dog nearby.

Questions

What time of day are family sessions?

About 90 minutes before sunset from May to August, earlier in the fall. Newborn sessions are mid-morning, when the light indoors is soft.

Can we bring the dog?

Please do. If you can, bring someone who can take the dog home after the first 20 minutes.

What if the weather is bad?

We move the session to another evening at no charge. I check the forecast with you two days before.
