STEP 1: SCHEDULING YOUR SESSION:

[Insert photo or design element?]

In order to reserve a date, you will sign some paperwork and pay a session fee of $300. If we haven't already, the easiest way to compare calendars is for you to email or call me with a few dates that work for your family - I always try to be as flexible as possible, and once we find a date, booking is 100% online and takes just a few minutes.

As you pull out your calendar, here are a few things to consider:

-I open booking up to 60 days in advance

-Weekend dates are limited and popular.

-Many clients enjoy their session most if they have set aside time before their session to relax

- Given the beautiful colours and temperate weather, summer and fall are the busiest times of year for

outdoor family photos in Alberta. If you'd like a session during one of those times

(ESPECIALLY if you want a weekend spot), please get in touch as soon as possible!

- If you have a particular date or holiday by which you need prints or gifts (Mother's Day, Christmas, etc.), be sure to book a date at least 6 weeks in advance of that date

to ensure sufficient processing and printing time.

Babies and young children are almost universally at their very best first thing in the morning, which

just happens to also be a great time of day for beautiful light. If you have children under five years

old, I encourage you to consider a session at or as close to sunrise as you can reasonably be ready.

If you have older children or have one of those rare babies that doesn't do mornings, the other time

of day that gives us great light is late afternoon/early evening... usually around 1.5 hours before

sunset.

-Beautiful photographs can be made in any kind of weather, but I understand that there are some

downsides to being photographed in the pouring rain or the freezing cold. I can and do reschedule

sessions for inclement weather, but am also happy to use your home or one of my indoor or semiindoor

locations if sticking to the schedule is a priority.
