Your Calgary Family Photographer
Some of my favourite photos of my childhood is when my parents stood back, and documented as my brother and I as we played, got messy, and were just kids. I want those same photos for your family, except you’re in them!
I will guide you with movement or prompts to interact with your children, and softly pose you when the grandparents are involved. My family photography approach focuses on letting the kids play, explore and guide the session.
When we let the kids guide the session, you interact with them on their level, play with them that let’s them feel SEEN and we get their purest emotion out this way. There might be tears, tantrums, and laughter but that’s all part of raising a small human in a big world. Let’s document that!

We’re a great fit if…
01.
You want to build memories with your children and have those memories documented.
02.
You’re okay with your children being photographed in a raw and pure way - aka tantrums, tears, and silliness.
03.
You want to bottle up this stage in their lives forever, and plaster their memories all across your walls.
“Time is fleeting. Photos are forever.
We had a wonderful experience with Emily. Our kids felt at ease with her. They still remember her name. We love the photos. Emily worked with us from beginning to end. Time is fleeting. Photos are forever. Thank you Emily for capturing our family photos!”

FAQs
How do I book?
Start by filling out the contact form and providing as much details as you possible can about your vision! A signed contract and 50% non-refundable retainer are needed in order to confirm your session.
What if I need to reschedule?
I completely understand that there are elements that sometimes come about that are out of our control. Reach out as soon as you can to reschedule your photoshoot. A $50 rescheduling fee will be applied to your session.
What is your turnaround time?
I’m very careful and intentional with the images I select to edit and share with my clients. My turnaround time determines on time of year but approximately 3-6 weeks for regular sessions.
Do you have a vendor list?
You bet! I have worked with amazing vendors local to the Calgary and surrounding area! Contact me with your inquiry and I’ll be able to send you a detailed list - these vendors are for every shoot, families, couples, and individuals!
What are your travel fee?
I work within Calgary, Cochrane, Okotoks, Airdrie and High River. Local sessions can be done in these areas. Anything outside, will be subjected to my ‘Adventure’ session - but it is well worth it!
Will I be able to obtain RAW files?
No, this goes against my policy. All images are not able to be passed along for outside edits. Once you book with me, a contract will be sent out for you to read over which goes over my RAW image policy. Your images will come to you for selection, in an edited Hi-Res format with opportunity to select more for purchase.
How do you keep our photos safe?
I ensure that I shoot every session on two different cards for each camera (a very common fail-safe!) then backup every photo on to two separate hard drives that are kept in a fire-proof safe. No photo is deleted until well after the final confirmed gallery is sent to the couple. Backups are guaranteed!
