Ready to have the best photo session ever? With many years of experience, I know what it takes to get great photos no matter who is in front of the lens or where we are. With a bit of pre-session planning your photo experience will be worry-free and everyone will have a good time. Here’s how we’ll get started…

01.

How to get Ready for Photos

I’m here to assist you with every aspect of preparing for your photo session. Whether you prefer full hand-holding throughout the process or just need some advice on a few things, I’m here to support you every step of the way. When questions arise, such as ‘what should I wear?’ or ‘where is the best location for photos?’ or even ‘what if my kids act crazy?’, I have answers for all of them, and you can reach out to me anytime via call or text. Additionally, I’ll send you a session prep guide that covers aspects you might not have even considered yet!

02.

Your Session is Unique to You

No cookie-cutter sessions here where everyone wears the same thing and goes to the same location. Your session will truly reflect you and your unique family. We will start by discussing your ideas and answering some questions to ensure I understand your vision and learn more about you. Then I will start planning your unique session. I have lots of ideas to choose from, and we will remain in communication from the moment you book the appointment until the delivery of your photos. I’ll provide tips and assistance along the way to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Help with Displaying Your Artwork

Let’s discuss your ideas for the finished images so we can create with that vision in mind. There are lots of options available including designing a gallery wall with beautiful canvas prints or opting for a modern metal look. Additionally, we offer traditional framed prints in any size. If you’re short on wall space, opting for a stunning coffee table book is a great way to keep your photos at your fingertips. For your digital needs, we provide files sized for websites for easy uploading plus high-resolution print-ready files.

Joanne has been our family photographer for 10 years.

As a busy family it can be hectic to get dressed and take photos together in an organized way. Somehow, Joanne makes the whole process easy and fun. She gives us advice on what to wear but still keeping the whole process informal and down to earth which is why we love her! We cherish our photos so much and are so glad to have them as we watch the kids grow so fast.
