The possibilities of location are endless- fields, forests, paths, alleys... anywhere really! Determine the vibe you are going for whether it be woodsy, urban or rural and we can collaborate on a location from there.

The main consideration for any location is really the time of day. SHADE is a photographers best friend; no matter what the location we chose, I will always require a spot out of direct sunlight (think less squinting, beautiful colours & soft lighting) .

Ever thought of a sunset session? If you have children that are up to the timing, I would definitely recommend the gorgeous golden light that a sunset session provides. Meeting an hour before sunset gives us infinite opportunity for locations as we don't need to worry about the harsh rays of midday sun.

My approach to family sessions are lifestyle in nature. Expect to do some exploring around our location; I find having multiple spots in a location gives children a chance to get used to the click of the camera and not get bored too quickly.

I always bring a vintage quilt to my sessions in order to get a chance to get in some tickle or snuggle time. Pack appropriate footwear that allows for flexibility in our session.

The million dollar question!!!

I want you to be who you are, so inevitably I'm going to say, wear what feels good.

With that said, there are always going to be items that photograph better than others. Please avoid logos, busy prints, and reflective materials.

It is great when families compliment each other (ie. two colours hinting in various ways throughout the family wardrobe) but not match or are the exact same. Avoid putting the family in the same colour on top ie. all white shirts. I do love solid colours on kids and dark blue jeans or khakis for men. I do have a love affair for long flowy dresses for mammas too but by all means do you ;)
