Good to know

Once you’ve chosen the date for your photo session, we will meet to settle on what you want. We’ll talk about your budget and how we can meet your expectations in a price range that you’re comfortable with.

The information below responds to some frequently asked questions.

• Simple is best.
• Solid colours work well.
• Groups should wear similar colours, tones, and styles.
• Patterns and logos can be distracting.
• Jeans and khakis are good choices for casual photos.
• Bare feet look great in casual photos.
• Feel free to bring a jacket, hat, or scarf for a different look and feel.
• Wrinkles show up in pictures. If you want to wear that special linen jacket (or anything else that wrinkles big time) bring it on a hanger and put it on at the shoot.

• We'll talk about this at the pre-photo session consultation meeting. 
• Bring any props that might enhance your photos and add that personal touch.
• It's always a good idea to have your favourite hairbrush with you, and any cosmetics that you might want to freshen up with.

If we’re going outdoors, the time of day is very important. At our initial meeting, we will decide on the optimal time of day for both you and the light. With children, try to schedule the session right after naps and ensure they are well fed so they can be bright-eyed and bushytailed.

If something comes up, I'm happy to reschedule your photo session with a minimum of 24 hours notice. (Emergencies will be taken into account!)

It may take up to two weeks for your photos to be ready for viewing and ordering. We will set up an appointment to go over your photos in person.

All the photos that you order will be kept on file for a year. You can reorder at any time. The balance of the photos will be kept for three months, unless you indicate that you'd like me to keep some longer for future orders.

Stuff happens, especially with children, and if by chance you are not happy with the results of the photo session, I will happily reshoot, at no extra charge, at your convenience.

The session fee is $150 for an hour in my studio, and $200 for an hour on location, payable upon booking.

Digital copies of prints in high resolution JPEG format, and low resolution web format, are available under certain circumstances. Ask me for details.

The session fee is payable in advance to hold your booking with Visa or MasterCard. At the Ordering Session, 50% of the order is payable, with the balance due prior to delivery.
