Family photography is all about capturing the genuine moments that truly reflect your family’s unique story. It’s not just about posing for the camera or striving for perfection; it’s about celebrating the real, honest interactions that happen every day.
Whether it’s the raw emotion in a shared glance, the connection felt during a warm embrace, or the joyful belly laughs that fill the air, these are the moments that matter most. We also understand that family life can be unpredictable, and sometimes that includes tantrums or unexpected surprises. These candid moments are just as important as the smiles, as they showcase the beauty and chaos of family life.
Creating a stress-free environment for your photography session is one of our top priorities. We know that planning can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing the perfect location and wardrobe. That’s why we offer tailored suggestions for stunning spots around Whistler that will serve as the perfect backdrop for your family images.
We also provide wardrobe recommendations to help you coordinate outfits that reflect your family’s personality while ensuring everyone feels comfortable. We take into account the best times of day for lighting and the local weather patterns so you can relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about the details.
As a mother myself, I understand the challenges and joys of family life, and I’m here to share my tips and tricks to make your session enjoyable and memorable. My goal is to keep the atmosphere fun, energetic, and authentic, allowing your family’s true personalities to shine through.
Creating a relaxed environment, we can capture those candid moments that tell your family’s story in a way that feels natural and genuine.
Let’s work together to create beautiful photos that you’ll cherish for years to come!
Our sessions usually last about an hour, but we can stretch it if the kids are having too much fun (or if we need to bribe them with snacks). We want to capture those genuine smiles, not just the ones that come from “cheese!”
The golden hour—just before sunset or as we refer to it…just before the sun goes behind the mountains—is a photographer’s best friend! The soft, warm light creates a magical backdrop for your family photos. However, if your little ones are more morning people, we can work with that too! Just let us know your family’s rhythm, and we’ll find the perfect time. General rule of thumb, Families with young children’s best time to shine is early to mid-morning, while families with tweens and up can usually shine a little later. 😉
Ah, the unpredictable Whistler weather! If Mother Nature decides to throw a curveball, we adapt and find a sheltered outdoor location or a cozy indoor spot. After all, a little rain never hurt anyone—just think of it as adding a magical touch to your photos!
Think of your outfits as the icing on the cake! Choose colors that complement each other but avoid being too matchy-matchy. Layers and textures add depth, and don’t forget to bring along a fun accessory or two—because who doesn’t love a good hat?
Whistler is a stunning canvas with endless options! From the breathtaking mountain views to the serene lakes, we can tailor the location to fit your family’s vibe. Whether you prefer a lush forest or a cozy village backdrop, I’ve got a few secret spots up my sleeve that will make your photos pop!
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too, and they can add a whole new level of fun to your session. Just be sure they’re ready for their close-up and have a few treats on hand to keep them engaged (and bribed). Fun Fact: most of them end up being natural- born models with a touch of diva!
Ideally, booking a few weeks in advance is best, especially during peak seasons. However, life happens, and I’m always happy to accommodate last-minute requests if I can. Just reach out, and let’s see what we can do to make your family’s photography dreams come true!
The more, the merrier! Extended family sessions are a wonderful way to capture those special bonds. Just let me know how many family members will be joining, and we can plan accordingly to ensure everyone feels included and has a blast!
You’ll receive a beautifully curated online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images. It’s like a digital treasure chest! Plus, we’ll throw in a few surprises because who doesn’t love a little extra magic? In addition, you will be privy to our VIP store for beautiful professional keepsakes and Family Heirlooms.
Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or if you’re ready to book your session!
Creating an environment of trust, ease & respect and capturing this moment where nothing else matters except you, here, now.
