FAQ
What should we wear?
A. You can wear whatever feels best for your family! PJs are adorable and cozy, perfect for capturing those warm holiday vibes. But if you’re aiming for a dressier look, formal or semi-casual outfits work beautifully too. Think reds, greens, plaids, or even neutrals for a classic look. Mix and match if you like – it’s all about capturing your family’s personality!
What if my little one gets shy or fussy?
A. Don’t worry, we’re pros at capturing those genuine moments! We’ll create a fun, relaxed atmosphere to help your kiddos feel comfortable and smile. Sometimes the cutest photos come from those unexpected, candid moments. So, bring along their favorite toy or comfort item and snacks if that helps – we’re here to make it fun for everyone!
How long is the session?
A. Each mini session is about 20-30 minutes, depending on the theme you choose! This timeframe is perfect for capturing all the smiles, giggles, and holiday spirit. However, please keep in mind that we have a tight schedule with back-to-back sessions, so we typically can't extend the time due to late arrivals. To make the most of your session, try to arrive a few minutes early to get everyone settled and ready to go. We want every moment to count!
Is there a warm place for us?
A. No worries about the cold – all sessions are held indoors! Our Red Velvet Christmas and Blue Joy setups are in our cozy basement studio, where the temperature stays comfortable at 20-22°C. Jolly Bright is set up in a second-floor bedroom with beautiful natural light, kept nice and warm at 23-25°C. So, don’t bundle up too much! Dress comfortably, and we’ll make sure you’re all cozy and ready to enjoy the holiday magic indoors. 😊
Late & Cancellation Policy
A. Late Arrivals: Unfortunately, we cannot extend your session time if you arrive late, as sessions are booked back-to-back. To make the most of your time, please arrive a few minutes early!
Cancellations: If you need to cancel your session, you’ll receive a $50 credit, which can be applied to any future booking within one year. This way, you won’t miss out on capturing those special memories!
How long will it take to get my photos?
A. Original Photos: I’ll upload all the original digital photos within 5 days of your session. You’ll have a chance to review and pick your favourites for editing.
Selecting Edited Photos: Please choose your edited photos within 7 days. After December 18th, 2024, selections for edited photos will no longer be accepted.
Edited Photos: Once you’ve made your selection, I’ll have your beautifully edited photos ready within 10 days!
Photo Download Deadline: All original digital photos will be deleted on December 31st, 2024, so please remember to download them as early as possible! 🎄
What is the $20 Coupon?
A. The $20 coupon is a little gift from us to you! You can use it within one year on any of our regular photo sessions – perfect for future family portraits, seasonal shoots, or special events. Just a note: the coupon can’t be applied to passport or visa photos. We can’t wait to see you again and capture more beautiful memories!
How many photos will you take? How much for extra edited photos?
A. The number of photos can vary depending on each family's unique interactions and the different groupings we capture. We’ll do a mix of family group shots and individual photos of babies or kids. So far, sessions have ranged from 30 to 150 original photos, depending on the dynamics and energy of the group. I’ll make sure we capture all those precious moments!
If you'd like additional edited photos, they are available for $25 each or $100 for a bundle of 5 photos. This way, you can choose the perfect amount to capture all your favorite moments from the session!
