Your non-refundable session fee includes a 15 minute private session with your immediate family only (single household).  Furry family members are welcome to join as long as they are cleaned up after.

In the week following your session you will come into my studio (Hamilton mountain) for your Selection Appointment.  At this appointment you will see all of the images taken at your session and you can choose which image package you'd like to purchase.  Image packages are in addition to the session fee.

The session fee covers my time, and any permit/rental fees for the session.  It does not include any digital files.

about the location

Blossom sessions are one of my most popular mini events of the year.  These beautiful pink blooms only last for about a week at the beginning of May.  The date of May 3rd for this year's sessions is an estimation, and may be subject to change based on the bloom timing and the weather.  This gorgeous privately owned nectarine orchard is nestled in the heart of Niagara on the Lake, and the exact location will be shared only with those who book a session to ensure the privacy of the owners of this private property. 

the experience

bring your pup

Your furry family member is always welcome at your family session. No matter the level of training (or lack there of), there are always ways to incorporate them into your family photos. I love dogs and am very comfortable working with all shapes and sizes of them.

If this interests you we can talk in detail about how to successfully include your furry friend without adding extra stress to you or your pup.

hamilton family photographer

your children are growing, time is passing, and you just want to hit the pause button on life ... i can help!  together we can freeze this moment in time and create beautiful family memories that will be cherished forever.  whether it's capturing the last bit of those little chubby cheeks, or their quiet confidence as they start to really discover who they want to be, kids are always changing and growing, and i know you want nothing more than to hold onto each moment as long as you can before they change again.  when you book a family session with me, we will do just that.  my focus is to create a fun environment where kids can feel free to be themselves and parents are calm and relaxed just enjoying the company of their family.  I aim to document authentic connections, through expressions, physical touch, and lots of laughing.

My in-home family sessions aim to capture mainly candid interactions through fun poses and family activities. I will tour your home prior to the session to scout out the best locations (mostly based on light) and we will plan out your session from there

I like for us to have at least one activity planned for the family to do together. Some great ideas are baking cookies, having a pillow 'fight' with lots of tickles (in cute pajamas of course), or having a picnic out on the lawn.

In-home sessions are an easy way to include family pets as well as easy outfit changes if you desire.

the experience

extended families

Extended family sessions are a great way to capture portraits of many different groupings such as cousins, adult siblings, or grandparents with all of their grandkids.

My extended family sessions are structured slightly differently to ensure we achieve the results you are looking for. They are longer in duration, and do require a bit more planning and coordination, but I will walk you through each step of the planning process.

These are memories that will be passed down through generations!
