I specialize in lifestyle portraits in the Comox Valley. I aim to capture natural and candid moments in people's lives, documenting their unique personalities and relationships in a way that is both beautiful and authentic. My goal is to create images that tell a story and evoke emotion, allowing my clients to cherish their memories for years to come.

Whether it's a family portrait session, engagement session, or individual portrait session, I strive to create images that reflect the true essence of my clients. By using natural lighting and authentic expressions, I aim to capture the beauty and personality of each person or family, creating timeless and treasured memories.

The duration of the session depends on the type of session you have booked. For mini sessions, the typical duration is around 30 minutes, while for full sessions, the duration is approximately 1 hour.

Mini sessions are designed for clients who want to capture a few quick shots and are ideal for those who have a limited budget or want to update their family photos regularly. These sessions are typically shorter in duration and focus on capturing a few key moments or poses.

Full sessions, on the other hand, are longer and more comprehensive, allowing for more time to capture a wider range of poses and settings. These sessions are ideal for clients who want a more personalized experience and want to capture a variety of images to choose from.

It's important to note that the duration of the session may vary based on the number of people involved, the location of the shoot, and other factors. 

If you have any questions about the duration of your session or would like to discuss your specific needs and preferences, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to provide more information and help you schedule a session that meets your needs.

The outfit you choose for your photoshoot can play an important role in the overall look and feel of your photos. Here are a few tips to help you select the perfect outfit for your session:

1. Be comfortable: Choose something that you feel comfortable in and that reflects your personal style. 

2. Compliment each other: While it's a good idea to coordinate with your family members, avoid wearing matching outfits. Instead, choose outfits that complement each other and have a cohesive look. You can do this by choosing clothes with similar tones or textures.

3. Avoid logos: Wearing clothes with big logos, slogans or graphics can be distracting and take away from the focus of the photo. So, it's best to avoid them.

If you have any questions or need further guidance on what to wear for your photoshoot, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can also get inspired by my Pinterest account. I am always happy to help my clients look their best and feel confident during their sessions. 

Living on the "Wet" Coast, we do experience our fair share of rain, and it's something that I am always prepared for. If rain is in the forecast for our session, I will keep a close eye on the weather leading up to our scheduled time. If it looks like the rain will be too heavy or if it poses a safety risk, we will reschedule for another date.

However, if the rain is light and you're up for it, we can still go ahead with the session as planned. A little bit of rain can add a beautiful and unique element to your photos, and can make for some truly memorable shots. Just be sure to dress accordingly and bring any rain gear or umbrellas that you might need to stay comfortable and dry.

Yes, I am proud to offer a 10% military discount to military members, veterans, and their families, as a token of my appreciation for your service and sacrifice. As a military spouse myself, I understand the importance of supporting our troops and their families, and I am honoured to extend this discount to them. 

Deposits are not refundable. A deposit is a commitment fee paid to reserve my time and ensure I'm available for your specific date and time. The deposit allows me to plan accordingly and make necessary arrangements to fulfill the photography service as agreed upon.

However, I will work with you to reschedule the session to a later date if something unforeseen arises that prevents you from keeping your original appointment. In some cases, I may be willing to apply the deposit to a future session, as long as it's within the agreed-upon timeframe.

It's always a good idea to read and understand the deposit policy before making any payments, so you know what to expect in terms of refunds or rescheduling. If you have any questions or concerns about the deposit policy, be sure to discuss them with me before making any commitments.

As the photographer, I retain the copyright and ownership of the photos I take. However, I do provide my clients with a license to use and reproduce the photos for personal use. This means that you can print the photos, share them on social media, and use them in other personal ways, but you cannot use them for commercial purposes or sell them to others without my permission.

I take pride in creating high-quality images that my clients can cherish for a lifetime, and I want to ensure that my work is protected. By retaining the copyright and ownership of the photos, I can control how they are used and prevent others from using them without permission.

If you have any questions or concerns about the copyright or ownership of your photos, please don't hesitate to ask. I am always happy to discuss my policies and answer any questions you may have.

I pride myself on selecting only the best images from our session for you to keep. I take great care in reviewing all of the photos from our shoot, and I spend time editing each one to ensure that they are of the highest quality.

While I understand that some clients may be interested in receiving the raw/unedited images, I do not offer this service. This is because raw images require specialized software and knowledge to properly edit and finalize them into the beautiful, polished photos that you see in my portfolio. Additionally, providing unedited images would be unable to ensure that my work is consistently up to my high standards.

I want you to be completely satisfied with your photos and rest assured that I will provide you with a carefully selected collection of the best images from our session that have been professionally edited and are ready to be cherished for years to come.

My turnaround time for both mini sessions and full sessions is typically 1-2 weeks. Of course, this timeframe may vary depending on the volume of sessions that I have at any given time. However, I will always do my best to keep you informed of any delays and provide you with updates on the progress of your photos.

Absolutely! As a photographer who loves to capture the beauty of the world around us, I am always excited to travel and explore new places. 

However, please note that additional travel fees may apply depending on the location and distance traveled. But don't let that stop you from reaching out to me and discussing your photography needs. Let's work together to capture stunning, timeless images that you will treasure for a lifetime, no matter where we are!
