Holiday Mini-Session Are Here!

The most magical time of year is almost here in Calgary, and so are Holiday Mini-Sessions!

Right in the heart of Calgary, in a gorgeous studio with Christmas greenery, we will be doing the most magical, indoor, Holiday Mini Sessions. You can go ahead and book yourself in right now to make sure you don’t miss out on these limited spots!

If you’ve been looking for magical Holiday photos of yourself and those you love, this is the perfect opportunity.

As a Calgary Lifestyle photographer, we will take magical portraits that not only document the way you and your loved ones look this year, but will also capture the love you feel for one another with sweet candid moments as well.

These are holiday photos that will always bring back the best of memories when you look at them, year after year.

WHEN ARE HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS IN CALGARY?

These lifestyle holiday minis will take place in the morning of November 26th, 2022. They will be edited and returned to you within a few days so you can use them in your Christmas cards.

WHERE ARE THESE MINI SESSIONS HAPPENING?

In an absolutely stunning studio (pictured above) right in downtown Calgary. We will be indoors, warm and cozy!

WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR TO HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS?

This is a great opportunity to choose what’s best for your family. Many of my clients like to take the opportunity in-studio to go a bit more formal and break out their holiday glam! Other’s choose cozy and beautiful pajamas while they snuggle on the couch together. As with all my shoots, I’m here to help you if you need someone to consult with on your wardrobe ideas.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN MY HOLIDAY MINI SESSION?

The shoot is 15 minutes long and includes 15 final images, delivered to you as digital downloads, all for $349.

There are very limited spaces available, so book now to secure yourself the best Holiday Mini-Session in Calgary

PRINCE'S ISLAND PARK & THE BEST PASTRIES IN CALGARY

We're always looking for fall family activities to do in Calgary, and downtown is one of our favourite places for a weekend adventure. I recommend you stop at The Black Sheep patisserie on 17th Ave for croissants and hot drinks, their pastries are our favourite in the city, and then enjoy the fall foliage, playground, gardens and wetland at Prince’s Island Park.

BRIDGERTON INSPIRED NIGHTGOWN

I finally finished the nightgown I started work on just after finishing the Bridgerton show on Netflix (the first time through, I may have watched it all again now). It’s romantic, so comfy and beautiful, I don’t know why I haven’t taken to nightgowns before.

Our baby girl was born in April and daisies are the flower of the month, making a daisy themed first birthday party the perfect fit. I love that they symbolize childbirth, motherhood, new beginnings and true love, there couldn’t be a flower more perfect to represent all that she is in our lives and all that my journey with her has been.

CINDERELLA INSPIRED BIRTHDAY PARTY

I love how each year, the theme my kids choose for their party reflects so well who they are at that time of their life, what they’re interested in and what matters to them, and incorporate those things all throughout the decorations, food and games. It’s a celebration of their life after all!

Spring Blossom Newborn Session

Spring Blossom Newborn Session

I’ll be booking limited photo sessions within Calgary (because of my beautiful new baby), beginning at the end of June, and will be a strictly outdoor photographer during the Covid-19 restrictions so that it’s easier to maintain the proper distance to keep us all safe this summer.

DIY BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY DURING CORONAVIRUS

DIY BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY DURING CORONAVIRUS

I kept this list of photos to 15 must haves, making it small and manageable because above all, having my husband present with me and just as involved in experiencing the moments as they happened was my top priority, not having him worry about getting all the right shots.
