here's what you need to know about booking your very own session

AS A PARENT I KNOW HOW HELPFUL IT IS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES TO HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION UPFRONT

VANCOUVER LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

Lifestyle newborn photography is about intimate moments captured in the comfort of your home, right around your due date (on baby’s time, of course.) I serve the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley from West Vancouver to Chilliwack.

These sessions are directed by your little one, and include photos of baby on their own plus photos with each of their immediate family members, photos of special moments between you all, and even photos with the family dog or cat.

WHEN TO BOOK

As soon as you know your due date, go ahead and book your session for 5-10 days after you’re due. We can move your session around based on when baby actually comes.

VANCOUVER LIFESTYLE MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

Lifestyle maternity photography is about capturing the moments before your newborn makes their way into the world. Let’s take some time to capture and honour the connection you already share. This time is special.

We can absolutely include partners, kiddos, and pets in these photos, too.

Need tips on picking a location? I’ve got your back. Reach out and I'll send you a location guide to your inbox!

WHEN TO BOOK

As soon as you know your due date, go ahead and book a session between 31-34 weeks pregnant. Booking for too early can mean you’re barely showing, and booking for later in the pregnancy can sometimes mean we miss it because baby decides to come early.

HONOUR YOUR CONNECTION

VANCOUVER LIFESTYLE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Let’s capture the wild, the sweet, and the loving. These sessions can take place in your home or outdoors in the Vancouver area (I’m happy to recommend locations). We’ll go outside in the morning or around sunset, when the light is softest. Want photos in your family home? Those start around 10am. Take a look at the experience page to get an idea of your family photo session schedule for the day!

We can play games, laugh together, and share sweet moments. We’ll also give the kids breaks when they need a breather. Leave the directing to me.

CAPTURE THE WILD + SWEET

PROCESS

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

1. INQUIRE

BOOK YOUR SESSION

Fill out an inquiry, and I’ll answer any lingering questions you have. Then, we can get a date planned, contracts signed, and a retainer paid.

I’m here for whatever you need as you prep for your session. We can pick outfits together, talk about how to set up your home, and get you feeling comfortable going into the session. If you prefer to read through pretty info packets, have no fear — you’ll receive an in-depth guide with answers to any question you can possibly have.

Lingering questions?

2. PHOTO DAY

PHOTO DAY

This is the fun part. I’ll take care of making the day go by smoothly; you get to relax and reflect.

3. VIEW YOUR PHOTOS

PROOFING GALLERY

This is a gallery of lightly edited images that make you “Oooh” and “Ahhhh” and smile, sent to your inbox within two weeks of our session.

You get to pick your faves and choose which collection you want. Your retainer is applied to whichever collection you choose.

4. YOUR KEEPSAKES

KEEPSAKE DELIVERY

Your keepsakes arrive on your doorstep 2-4 weeks later. You'll flip through your album, you'll say "wow! my baby has already changed so much since we took these" and then you might cry a little.

You will also be delivered your digital files at this time. You will then be able to download the digital images you've chosen. You get to look back at these photos throughout the rest of your kiddos’ lives, and they get to see how loved they were right from the start.
