FAQ

Will you help us pose?


Absolutely - but not in a stiff,  way.  I'll gently guide you into natural moments of connections so you feel relaxed and look like yourselves.  Think less 'smile at the camera' and more 'let's go explore.'  

What if my kids don't cooperate?


Don't worry - I've got you.  As a mom and experienced family photographer, I come prepared with patience, play, and a few tricks up my sleeve.   Your job is to show up and love on your family - I'll take care of the rest.

What locations do you shoot?


I am a Port Moody based family photographer specializing in outdoor adventure sessions for playful, connected families.  I photography at Rocky Point, Shoreline Trail, Old Mill Site, Old Orchard and more.  Think forest trails, coastal beaches, or grassy meadows.  I also love in-home lifestyle sessions if that's more your vibe!

FAQ

How long does a typical photo session last?



Adventure sessions usually last 60-90 minutes, giving us time to explore, play, and capture authentic moments without feeling rushed.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?


You will get your full gallery within 2-3 weeks of your session.  I also send a few sneak peeks within a few days.

How do you keep kids engaged during the session?


Play is my secret weapon!  I use games, movement, and natural prompts to keep kids curious and having fun.  We'll explore, run, climb etc.
