General FAQ
What should I wear to my session?
Choosing what to wear for your photoshoot can be a little stressful. So, I’ve gathered a few tips to help you select the perfect photo-worthy wardrobe to help you feel amazing! Have a look and choose what suits you.
1. Dress for the location and the weather and most importantly, be comfortable!
2. Pick fabrics that move and flow with you. Natural fibres and earthy colours look amazing in most settings and jewel tones are beautiful options. For example, a copper-coloured dress will look fabulous in a natural setting and sage green, mustard and burnt orange will always look amazing mixed with beige and white. Remember, I want to showcase YOU and your people – not just your clothes. (Scroll to the top of this page for a fantastic example of natural colours and style).
3. What to avoid: Prints, logos and busy plaids. Try to stay away from hot pink, bright red and neons that can cast unflattering reflections on your skin and anyone around you. A ballcap shadows the face but worn backwards is perfect.
4. If comfy overalls or distressed jeans and a cozy sweater are more your vibe, you do you!
5. Bring along a neutral blanket and depending on the weather, perhaps we can get some photos cuddled up in the long grass.
6. Accessories? Yes please! If accessories are your vibe, layer those bracelets, rings on every finger, a fedora, a vest and cool shoes add tons of personality to your session. And if you play the guitar, PLEASE bring it!!
6. Lastly, your goal is to compliment each other without being too ‘matchy matchy’!
I hope this helps. If you are still uncertain, take a few pics of your wardrobe choices and text me a pic! I’m always here to help!
Can I purchase a gift certificate?
Yes! I have gift certificates on hand and can customize one for that special gift of memories. Just message me and let me know what you have in mind!
Can my pup tag along?
YES! YES! YES!
Pups, cats, horses, chickens - really any pet you can think of - adds a whole other level of fun to your session. Bring a leash for the rambunctious four-legged companions and don't forget the treats!
Where are you located and do you charge to travel?
I am located close to Port Perry, ON and serve Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and surrounding areas. I love to travel and will gladly come to you! Travel fees do apply for sessions outside of the Port Perry area.
Can you make me skinnier?
My entire photography philosophy is documenting real life. Real life is not perfect at all and it's these imperfections I find the most alluring, interesting, beautiful and true. I don't use Photoshop or AI. However, I will definitely smooth skin, remove acne, lipstick on teeth, animal fur, stains and distractions. Real, raw and true is what my photography is all about. If you are looking for manipulated perfection, there are plenty of photographers who specialize in Photoshop! But, I'm not your gal ♡
Do you take maternity photos?
Yes!
Do you do newborn photography?
Absolutely! I love coming to your place to document this sweet time. My approach is natural as I document all that is new and wonderful.
*** I do not pose and swaddle baby but there are many newborn photographers who do!
Do you do headshots and branding photography?
I don't offer this service but I can recommend some fantastic photographers who specialize in this field of photography!
Are you an inclusive photographer?
YES! I am married to my best friend - my wife - and capturing love between anyone and everyone is something I am passionate about! I am also a mom to children who have been badly bullied so there is honestly nothing more important to me than inclusion ♡
Do you photograph events?
Please reach out and let's chat. I definitely document some events each year!
Will you choose the location?
If you have a location in mind, we can definitely chat! Otherwise, I know some pretty sweet places we can meet!
Do you offer mini sessions?
At this time I am not offering mini sessions as my schedule does not allow it.
How many photos does my package include?
All packages, excluding custom packages and weddings, include all of the very best images I capture ~ minimum 30 images.
