Before You Book — Let’s chat! A quick phone call or an e-mail is the best way to book your pre-session consultation with me to see if we’re a good fit, and go over any pre-booking questions about the portrait process, available dates, and locations.
Your Retainer Payment is a non-refundable fee that officially confirms your session reservation.
The Day of Your Session Is When The Fun Starts! I’ll initially get everyone comfortable with a few poses and shutter clicks, and then we let the session unfold.
A Sneak Peek of one of my favorite images from your session will debut on my studio Facebook.
Your Ordering Session is scheduled two to three weeks after your session. Now you can view your images, pick your favorites, and put together your order for prints, albums, boxes and more to showcase the best images from your session.
I help you select your favourite images, and suggest different ways that you might showcase them for your home and lifestyle, or for gifts. Sharing your portraits in a way that you can see each day will make them a meaningful part of your life and memories, and remind you of the beauty others see in you.
Your Portrait Products generally arrive within about six weeks of your order. It’s time to fall in love with your portraits all over again!

Use of photographs
My business is dependent on being able to show my work, so I really appreciate it when clients allow me to share what I created. The default position is that I reserve the right to use all images for self=promotion, which may include ( but is not limited to) exhibitions, portfolios, competitions, website, social media, samples or advertising materials. However, I agree not to use images for the above purposes if you object for any reasons. Please make a note on your booking form if you don’t want me to use your images for the above purposes.
