Ultimately, my goal is to put beautiful portraits on your walls, in memory books and into the hands of family and friends to cherish for years to come; but, I understand that your needs will differ from my next client and the one after that, so I've created a customized session experience. Not only do I have different tiers in each session type but, I now offer both a la carte and digital packages so you can choose the session fee investment that works best for you. If you're not sure which option is best, I'm here to help and will gladly walk you through both options prior to booking so you feel confident that your portrait needs will be met.

What is the difference between 'a la carte' and 'digital package' sessions?
A key factor for most clients when deciding between an a la carte or digital package investment is what they plan to do with the finished portraits. Are you looking for lots of copies to send to family and friends, or just something to share online? Do you need a stunning piece of wall art, or a few fun gift items?
A La Carte Session ~ A La Carte Sessions are the peak of ordering flexibility, only the session fee is paid upfront. The session fee covers my investment in the session, such as, but not limited to: time (prep, session, cleanup, editing, production), props & decorations. ALL prints & products are purchased separately, AFTER you've seen the proof gallery. There is no minimum purchase amount, so you only purchase what you love. You have access to a full range of print sizes, products and digital file packages. No matter what you are looking for, I've got you covered.
Digital Session ~ A digital session covers both the session fee and a digital print file package. This is the way to go if you know that you want digital printing files. Why? You save 20-50% on the digital print files and you still get to choose which portraits from your proof gallery are the ones included in the package! Packages come in a variety of sizes (from 3 to 30 images) and, in addition to the digital file savings, you also get a discount of up to 30% when adding printed product to your order.

Print & Products Overview
If you'd like to see the 'flow' of a session, from booking to receiving your portraits, please read this page: Everything You Need to Know About Portrait Sessions
All sessions include the following:
- A pre-session consult (in person, over the phone or online) to discuss stylizing the session. This includes, colour preferences, pose or prop requests, addressing concerns etc. I welcome questions and discussion at any time leading up to the session.
*Pre-session consult not available for on-site, market or popup events.
- A large selection of prop & backdrop options, and my collection is growing all the time! These items will be discussed during the pre-session consult so that I have items on hand during our session.
- A private proofing gallery to view and order from your portrait session.
- A wide selection of professional quality prints & products to choose from when selecting your wall portraits, gifts and prints.
- Eventually my goal is to provide a one-on-one portrait reveal session where we view the portraits together and discuss ordering options, I will even be able to show you samples of how the portraits would look on your walls. Unfortunately it will be awhile before I can offer this full service boutique experience but please know that I always welcome questions & am here (online, on the phone and in person) to assist in anyway I can to make the ordering process easier.
- Payment plans for private studio sessions & all product orders can be accommodated, please use the contact me form so we can discuss.
