Booking Details for Mini Session Dates

On Location

You will be able to choose between a 30 minute or a 1 hour session (also based on availability). I highly recommend a longer session time in the mountains to take advantage of everything the locations have to offer. A signed contract and deposit ($50 for 30 min. / $100 for 1 hour) are required at the time of booking. You will receive your high resolution edited images in a private online gallery where you can download them. The gallery will expire after one year. These are limited to one household only. *These are special rates for the dates listed on this page only.

30 minutes  |  $250 +gst  |  15-20 images

1 hour  |  $465 +gst  |  40-45 images

Christmas studio sessions are booked in blocks of 20 minutes only. Photos will be delivered in one week to give you plenty of time to order your Christmas cards. A $50 deposit—non-refundable, non-transferable to a future date—is required at time of booking. *This is a special rate for this date only.

20 minutes in-studio only  |  $215 +gst  |  10-15 images

7/10 morning times are booked. I will add the afternoon based on demand!
