Effortless photo Sessions for busy families

Experience

Your Collingwood Family Photography

Scroll

- Bob Dylan

"Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them."

How will your children remember you? How will they remember themselves? What do you want them to see when they look back at photos of their loved ones? Don't leave it to chance and a cell phone!

As your Collingwood Family Photographer, and a mother of three (who are all growing way too fast, might I add), it's my utmost pleasure to help you hang onto these exquisite moments of life.  

Come as you are and enjoy a playful outing with your dearest hearts. And before you know it, we'll create an artful record of your joy and connection that will delight you and yours forever!

So what's the process? Read on, friend.

Book your session

Choose your preferred date & session package, sign a simple digital contract, and pay your $150 retainer to reserve your session. Booking is available 24/7, is done online and takes just a few minutes.

Plan & Prep

After booking, you’ll receive a quick questionnaire and a prep guide to help you feel totally ready — outfits, locations, tips, it’s all there. I’ll also check in the week before your session to confirm details and answer any questions.

your Session Day

We’ll spend about 60–90 relaxed minutes together. I’ll gently guide you with prompts, chase light, and catch the little in-between moments. No pressure, no stiff posing — just a low-stress experience and images that feel like you.

Download & Print

This is the best part! Download, share & print your images! Your gallery has a built-in print shop and stays open for a full year, so you can always come back for holiday cards, gifts, or another round of happy tears.

The Process

Pricing

The Details

Photography pricing can be confusing — what’s included? Just digitals? Any prints? Do you have to pay in full before the session?

I like to keep things simple and transparent.

• Book your session with a $150 retainer which goes toward your chosen session package
• See your full selection gallery before deciding to upgrade (upgrades are optional)
• Download, share and enjoy your favourite images, with the option to print right from your gallery

Most families invest between $550 and $950 on digital packages, with optional print products starting at as little as $10.

With over seven years of professional experience, glowing reviews, and a commitment to making this easy and enjoyable for you, I’m confident you’ll feel great about your investment — and even better about your photos.
The Petite Session is perfect if your only looking for a handful of images. 

  • 10 high-resolution digital images of your choice via online download (option to purchase more)
  • Option to print through your gallery shop

Petite Session

The most value for time and money invested into your newborn session!

  • ALL the high-resolution digital images via download from your private gallery (minimum 50 images, but often many more)
  • $100 bonus credit to print through your gallery shop
  • Gallery available for a full year


Standard Session

A popular session package with many clients!

Session Packages

I'm happy to answer them! If the answer to your question isn't found in the FAQ below, feel free to contact me!

I love to suggest locations based on the "vibe" you want (e.g., beach vs. wooded/forest) and your specific needs. We can also conduct your session at your property, if you prefer.

For families with mobility concerns (scooters, canes, or limited walking), I have a number of accessible spots I can recommend, which offer variety while being easy to traverse from your parking location.

After booking you can detail any needs in your questionnaire so I can ensure we choose a site with close parking and minimal walking.

> What are our location options, and can you accommodate mobility concerns?

Life happens. If your timing allows, we will reserve two dates at the outset — a primary choice and a backup rain date.

I know how much effort goes into getting your family ready, and the last thing you want is to get dressed up only to be rained out or have someone come down with a fever.

I get in touch with your a few days prior to your session to make sure we're good to go (or to make alternate arrangements). I always maintain room in my calendar to allow for rescheduling.

> WHat if it rains or someone get sick on our session date?

While the "golden hour" (the hour before sunset) provides the most flattering, soft, and glowy light — and I will always encourage this session timing, whenever possible — I understand that might not always be possible due to young kiddo bedtimes or your own family's scheduling restrictions.

We can absolutely work around those needs if golden hour is a "no-go". If we must shoot earlier in the day, I will select a sheltered location (like a wooded area) to filter out harsh midday sunlight and ensure you get beautiful photos regardless of the time.

> What is the best time of day for our session?

Absolutely! I've photographed dozens of extended families and family reunions over the years. I even wrote a blog post about how special important these sessions are!

Extended family sessions are awesome but they are a bit of a different beast. To help keep things running smoothly, I have a dedicated approach for ensuring everyone is prepared and knows what to expect going into the session.

Feel  free to reach out to me if you'd like to discuss how best to document your large family gathering. I've got you! :)

> Do you photograph extended families with 20+ people?

Your privacy is a top priority, and I completely respect that the decision to share your family’s images is deeply personal.

While I truly love sharing some of my favourite, beautiful images from past sessions to showcase my work as it evolves, I understand that many families prefer to keep their photos private. 

Rest assured, your images will not be shared online unless you are fully comfortable with it. I want you to feel completely at ease with your family's digital footprint, so please don't hesitate to let me know your preferences, and I will honour them.

> What is your privacy policy? Will my images be shared online?

Please don't worry! I hear this from almost everyone. Feeling a bit awkward in front of the camera is totally normal, and those "wild" moments with your kids often turn out to be my absolute favorite shots.

My approach focuses on connection, not perfection. Just enjoy each other’s company, and I promise we’ll capture something beautiful and authentic.

I’ll provide simple guidance to keep things fun and relaxed. My job is to document your family as you really are, not how you think you "should" look. 

If you like what you see in my portfolio, I promise you'll love your images!

> My Kids are a bit wild / I'm not photogenic! Will you be able to get any good photos of us?

This is the best time to reach out! I only take on a limited number of clients each month so I can balance my business with my family life (that's me and my crew right there). I often book up a month or two out, so make sure to fill out the form below if you're contemplating a session over the next few months. I'm SO excited to connect with you!
