Western & Equine Family Photographer
Serving Strathcona County & areas surrounding Edmonton Alberta
Info & Pricing
You want gorgeous non-traditional family photos that document this season of life with the ones you love most (human and animal!). You only live this season once, and you want to remember how it feels right here, right now.
Life ebbs and flows and we are faced with good, bad, joy, pain, trauma and triumph, and through photographs we get to honour this place we are at. We get to relive the wonderful moments and thank God for making it through the hard ones. Every step has led us to who we are now. That journey is worth celebrating.
What you DON'T want for your session - stress! Feeling overwhelmed, uncertain of what to do, nervous about how it will go or how you will look. Forced smiles and stiff bodies. Walking away from the session feeling burnt out and saying “we’ll that didn’t go well.”
I'VE GOT YOU!
Everything about how I take you through this experience is with YOUR needs as the compass. I want you to feel at ease and enjoy our time together.
My sessions are all about spending time with your most loved ones, and focusing on enjoying each other. You’ll play, laugh, snuggle and lounge. I’ll give you gentle prompts for interacting with each other in a natural way.
I never make kids perform, pose or smile if they aren’t feeling it. I want to respect their mood and nature, and I promise we can capture amazing images without a smile! If you have a little wild child who wants to move and explore that is ok! If you have a shy child who just doesn’t want to crack a smile that is ok! If you have a special needs child who may need space and time to navigate the session that is ok! There are no situations or behaviours that will prevent me from capturing some beautiful images :)

What makes up the price of professional photography?
The session price you see doesn't mean you are paying that just for the face-to-face shoot time. There's a lot more that goes into it! It is the behind the scenes "hidden" hours that make up the bulk of your photography gallery creation.
What happens in the hidden hours?
Correspondence, travel time, equipment maintenance, culling best images, editing each image to perfection, uploading images to gallery, ordering/preparing products for delivery. That doesn't count all the other time/costs of business like websites, software, equipment, taxes, insurance etc etc. The hidden hours result in magical images for you to treasure for a lifetime :-)
