Christmas Portrait Event
Updated: April 2nd, 2021.
For the health+wellness of your family and mine, my annual Christmas Portrait Event has been postponed until 2022.
If you would still like to update your family photos this year, consider booking a Fall Session where we can be outside in the fresh air and physically distance. Feel free to bring along your own Christmas props if you would like to add the holiday feel! Availability for these sessions is extremely limited due to a short season so get in touch asap to book!
This decision did not come lightly, I have held this event for 8 years now and it is one of the happy highlights of my whole year! I will miss seeing your faces and celebrating the season with you but I hope you will check in September 2022 for updates, my biggest wish is that things will be a million times better by then.

frequently asked questions
What is the backdrop set up for 2019?
This years cozy set features a rustic herringbone wood wall, gold hoops with greenery, snowy white Christmas Tree with natural and gold details and red accents. Wardrobe suggestions would be lots of neutrals, plaids, hits of red and hunter green!
There will also be the "sign wall" backdrop from last season - full of fun, festive Christmas signs!
Where are you located?
Sessions take place inside my home studio in Georgetown South, Halton Hills, Ontario.
How long does it take to get our finished photos?
Typically within 2 business days after your session you will get an email with a link to your online gallery where you will select your favourite images and order any additional images if you choose! From the time you select your images (and send payment for any extras) your final images are retouched and added to your gallery typically within 3-4 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! The sooner you book the sooner you will get your images.
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 our session?
I understand life is busy and things come up! If you need to reschedule closer to the event and is an open spot available then you are welcome to do so! (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. A friendly heads up that session fees are non-refundable if you have to cancel your appointment for any reason.
What can we do with the "digital files" can we use them to make online Christmas Cards?
Yes! These are .jpg files delivered to you via online gallery - you can share 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, however due to the busy-ness of the day and families back to back, space limitations and the well-being of ALL my clients, it makes this very hard to accommodate in-studio. Some exceptions apply so best to message me before you book to see if it's possible.
Can we take any pictures outside?
This is an studio event (so indoors) only, if you would like to book an outdoor session be sure to get in touch next spring/summer to book, there are lots of fun locations in the area to shoot at!
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! :D It's like Christmas has exploded all over the studio! Due to the busy-ness of the day 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 :)
