Products and prints are not included in the session fee. We will discuss what your product options at your pre-shoot consultation.

The pre-shoot consultation is something I prefer as I find that meeting with grads and parents ahead of time helps set the goals and expectations and helps me know what to expect. It allows us to become comfortable with one another and give me the ability to really tailor the shoot so everyone is happy.  I want to get to know the grad – talents, quirks, hobbies, passions, and who you are as a person. We will plan the day, time, locations, and who will be involved for your shoot.

It’s preferable but not imperative.

Your shoot can happen almost anywhere!

For casual and formal sessions that are 1 hour or longer that are not on Prom day, the location could be indoors or outdoors anywhere in or around Saskatoon.

Locations for Formal Sessions on Prom Day are limited by distance to the location and appointment times – yours (hair and makeup) and mine (other grads that day).

Shoots can last from 1 to 2 hours from start to finish. If you have chosen multiple locations or outfits, then the time spent traveling between locations or changing outfits must be within your allotted time.

Longer sessions allow for more variety and a more relaxed experience.

When choosing what to wear for your casual senior session, you should consider what will best show your current style and personality. If that’s a beautiful sundress or ripped knee jeans, then that’s perfect! Make sure you are comfortable in it.

You don’t need to bring anything other than your outfits and yourself!

But if you want to bring something that represents your passions and hobbies, then you are absolutely invited to do so!

If you love playing the guitar, bring your guitar.
If you have a passion for playing and watching basketball, then bring a basketball or your favorite team’s jersey.

I can also provide colored smoke bombs for your session at an extra cost of $16 each. They’re super fun and add some great color variety to your images!

Yes. There will be some editing applied to your images. I will remove temporary blemishes and soften ladies’ skin for a beautiful glow. The image colors will also be boosted for increased vibrancy.

After your session, I’ll have a basic edited gallery (light, color, cropping) ready for you to view. From there you will select your favorite images and I’ll go in and further edit those to remove blemishes, brighten eyes, and add some other effects. After selecting your favorites, it can take 2 to 3 weeks for the final editing to be finished.

When the images are ready for viewing, I’ll send a Google Drive link to the email provided. You’ll view the images there and select your favorites by sending me the file names.

When final images are edited, delivery of the final product will be discussed with the responsible party.

Recently the most popular choices have been the 8 x 8 album and digital images. Sometimes both.

Oh gosh no! We can and will review what your options are at your pre-consultation for your consideration.

You don’t even necessarily need to decide what to do with your images before you start your shoot or even after. But I do recommend considering this before your shoot.

Why?

I have pre-paid package options that will save you money if you pay in full prior to the shoot. This also helps ensure that time doesn’t slip away and the photos get forgotten.

I do offer the purchase of digital images at $20 each. But you can purchase them in bulk. Large orders of digital images can be delivered on a USB thumb drive at no additional charge.

But I do strongly recommend prints or albums products as they will end up being better value for your dollar and the risk of your images being misplaced or forgotten is lower.

It depends on what you’ve ordered.

If you’ve ordered digitals only, those would be available for download within a day. On a thumb drive would take a day or two.

If you’ve ordered prints, they can take up to 7 business days.

If you’ve ordered an album, it could take up to 2.5 weeks to arrive.

They don’t have to! At your grad shoot I will ask if you’re alright with me sharing your images online, then again after you’ve seen them. If you’re not okay with it then I absolutely will not post or share your images.

In order to book, all you need to do is send me an email, message, or text to start the conversation.

Believe me, I’ve tried contact forms, booking platforms, etc. None of them seem to work very well or consistently so I very much prefer a direct message, call or email straight from you to me.

You can use the Contact Me page to get in touch!

If you want to do your formal photos on your Prom day, then I recommend booking early to ensure availability! I mean months ahead of time, even! Don’t be afraid to check if I’m available for a last-minute booking, though. You never know!

If you’re doing your Casual or Formal photos on any other day (not Prom day) then you could book anytime before your desired session. I still recommend booking early, though.

Naturally, smoke bombs are considered explosives so, yes, there are risks. But when used properly the risks are minimal. Even so, I do ask whoever is handling the smoke bomb to sign a liability waiver.

The biggest risk I’ve had to date, though, is staining. Yes, the color can stain clothing and skin if held too closely to either. Staining hasn’t lasted on skin, but can be permanent on clothing. But it has to be held VERY close to clothing.
