Investment
When I say ‘investment,’ I’m talking about putting something into this moment that pays off for years. It is an investment in your family’s story.
I understand that teen photos are an ‘extra’. If you have a grad this year, you’ve probably already seen the budget for grad expenses creep up, and the thought of paying for more photos, in addition to what you already have ordered, seems like a lot. Your teen’s senior year is a big deal and it is a time of transition between the current chapter and the next. Investing in a photoshoot now means you’ve got a piece of that transition captured forever, not just a memory that fades in time. It’s worth it because this phase doesn’t wait.
And if your teen isn't quite a senior, believe me, you will blink and they will be. Don't miss the opportunity to capture them right now.

FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Tsawwassen, BC and can travel anywhere throughout the Lower Mainland within 30km.
Where do you shoot?
It really depends! If it is a senior or portrait session, I love shooting at the beach or a park or even in your backyard. My preference is anywhere to get you in the best light possible. I do mostly outdoor, natural light photographs, but can adjust to indoors if you have something else in mind. If you have no idea, we can chat and figure it out!
When will I get my photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 2 weeks (15 days) of our shoot date. I will try to send you a few sneak peak images within 24 hours.
Do you photograph weddings?
My strength is capturing images of teens and individuals in natural and candid settings, mostly outdoors, and sports. I'll leave the wedding photography to those who love more formal events. I can definitely refer you to someone.
Do we have to pay a deposit?
Prior to any shoot (typically after details such as timing and location have been sorted), I require a 50% non-refundable deposit in order to hold your spot. Deposits can be transferred to a different session date if rescheduling is necessary.
What if I don't like my photos from our shoot?
I sincerely want all my clients to love their images. If you truly feel unhappy with your photographs, please contact me through my contact form or phone call. I will do my best to assist you. Please note that client suggested background choices, background anomalies, clothing and hair choices, and/or number of photographs are not significant reasons to request a re-shoot or refund.
Can our team hire you?
I LOVE taking photos of kids and teens doing their thing, especially sports! I photograph lacrosse, field hockey, football, soccer, and more. I'd be thrilled to come out to a game and catch some great action shots. Check out my link to Sports Teams on the menu above.
