frequently asked questions
What is the backdrop set up for 2025?
Set design will start about August 2025! But if you check through my galleries you can get a sense of my style - I typically stay in the rustic wood/greenery and traditional Christmas themes and props so that your family is the star of the show!
Where are you located?
Christmas portrait sessions take place inside my home studio located in Georgetown South, Halton Hills, Ontario. YES I adore the outdoor set ups too BUT after so many years doing this, and from feedback I've received from my families who have done outdoor sessions, adding the "Canadian weather" factor in the mix is often more stress (and discomfort!) that I think we need to handle! LOL. A heads up: our family pup is a cockapoo named Rosco, he will not be around during any of the sessions, but you may hear him "saying hello!" from his comfy bed upstairs.
How long does it take to get our finished photos?
Typically within a few business days after your session you will get an email with a link to your online proof gallery where you will select your favourite images (up to 5 are included with your package, purchasing more is totally optional). From the time you select your images (and send payment for any extras) you will go into my first come first serve editing queue, your final images are retouched and added to your gallery typically within another few business days. I know how excited everyone is to get holiday cards and gifts ready so I keep this process moving as quickly as possible! This is the busiest event of the year and so sometimes it may take longer, please book early in the schedule to avoid disappointment and also let me know if you have a specific timeline you are hoping to meet and I will do my very best!
What should we wear?
A session guide is available when you book to help you prepare, including tips and suggestions for what to wear!
What if something comes up and we have to cancel/reschedule our session?
I understand life is busy and things come up, especially with little ones and during the holiday (cold+flu) season! If you need to reschedule closer to the event and is an open spot available then you are welcome to do so on time only. (You can do this yourself by clicking on "view your session details" in your confirmation email and see if other times are still open). However, this flexibility is not guaranteed as it's such a busy event and at least 24 hours notice is preferred so another family could grab your open spot. No-shows will not be rescheduled. A friendly reminder that session fees are non-refundable.
What can we do with the "digital files"? Can we use them to make online Christmas Cards?
Absolutely! Your holiday portraits are delivered as high resolution .jpg files delivered to you via online gallery - you can share them on social media, download them to your computer and then to your phones and other devices, you can print them at various printing stores, include them in your online Christmas card designs and albums (ie. shutter fly) and ENJOY with your family and friends.
Can we bring our pet?
I LOVE furry family members, we have a cockapoo pup ourselves! Often sessions are scheduled back-to-back and some of my clients may not be comfortable/allergic to animals, so if you would like to do this please message ahead and let's see if we can find a time where I can block a buffer before and after your session. I will do what I can to make it happen! If your youngest kiddo is 5 or under, I suggest you bring a pet caretaker to wait with your pet outside so we can do some photos together first, once I know I have some keepers we can bring them in the mix and let the chaos begin! lol
Can we take any pictures outside?
This is an indoor studio event, if you would like to book an outdoor session message me, weather permitting we might be able to do it, or touch base in the spring/fall, there are lots of fun locations in the area to do a fun family portrait session outdoors!
Can we get some photos without the Christmas theme or props?
My regular work is typically not with props or themes at all but at Christmas time we go ALL OUT! It's kinda like Christmas has exploded all over the studio lol! Due to the busy-ness of the days and families back-to-back, it doesn't allow time to change the set in between, so it's ALL about Christmas at this one! Regular family sessions that I do spring-fall are perfect for everything else :)
