ADDITIONAL SESSION TIME

If you feel like you need more time for your photo session in a public space, you can add extra time on the day of the photoshoot. This allows you to try more poses or locations, ensuring that you get the perfect shots. The time can be added as needed based on our availabilities. So if you’re having a great time during the shoot and want to keep going, don’t hesitate to extend the session to make the most of the experience!
ADDITIONAL EDITS

If you would like to have more than the number of edited photos that are included in your chosen package, you have the option to purchase additional images. I will be more than happy to discuss what you would like and ensure that you receive the perfect selection of images for your needs.
EXTENDED GALLERY TIME
CAD $90 for 6 Months
I understand that after your session, you may want to take some time to view and share your gallery with family and friends. That’s why I offer the flexibility to extend the period for which your gallery is available. So, if you need more time to access your gallery, please let me know and I’ll be happy to make the necessary arrangements.
UNWATERMARKED PREVIEWS
CAD $150 for All JPEG’s From the Gallery
As an add-on, I offer high-resolution, unwatermarked JPEGs of all the preview images from your shoot. These files are lightly edited as shown in the preview gallery. Perfect for personal use, printing, or archiving without any restrictions, you’ll receive every photo in high resolution, ready to view and treasure for years to come.
DIGITAL NEGATIVE FILES
CAD $200 for All DNGs From the Gallery
As an optional add-on to your shoot, I offer Digital Negative (DNG) files for those who want maximum flexibility in post-production. DNG files are raw, uncompressed formats that preserve the full range of image data, giving you greater control over edits like exposure, color grading, and detail enhancement. Perfect for creatives looking to have complete creative freedom, this add-on ensures you have the highest quality files for your vision.
Photoshoot Location
You have the option of choosing between two different settings for your photo session. You can either choose to have your session done in a studio, or opt for a public space. Public indoor spaces like university buildings or malls can be a great option. These spaces can offer a range of different settings to create the perfect backdrop for your images. Public outdoor spaces like parks are also available, although keep in mind that these options are weather-dependent. Regardless of your location preference, I am here to help you select the best setting to bring your vision to life.
Option 1: Rose Garden
No additional cost
Option 2: Vancouver Mall
No additional cost
Option 3: UBC Alumni Center
No additional cost
Option 4: Indoor Studio
Typically up to CAD $350
If you prefer a private indoor setting, I can assist in organizing and reserving a third-party studio space for our photo session. The rental fee for the studio will vary depending on your preference. A deposit for the studio booking is required in advance. Kindly note that studio availability and scheduling can be limited, so it is recommended that you book in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Here are a few examples:
What You Can Expect
I want to give you a clear idea of what to expect before, during and after your photo session. Here’s a quick overview of the process:
Before the Session
To ensure that your photo session is a success, there is some pre-production work to be done. This includes all the necessary preparation work, such as discussing your ideas, deciding on locations, and any other details that need to be taken care of before the actual shoot. As part of my packages, I offer a photo consultation call to help you with this process. Whether you need help brainstorming ideas or have specific preferences in mind, I am here to assist you every step of the way.
During the Session
If you’re feeling nervous about being in front of a camera for the first time, there’s no need to worry. As an experienced photographer, I’ve worked with many new clients and understand how to make you feel comfortable in front of the lens. I can suggest and direct poses to help you look your best and am happy to incorporate any ideas you may have. My goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere so that you can feel confident and have fun during your photo session.
After the Session
Once your shoot is done, I will prepare a password-protected online preview gallery for you. This allows you to take your time to review and select the images that you want to move forward with. Once you have made your selections, I will digitally process the photos using my signature style to bring them to a professional level. This includes making detailed adjustments to exposure, color, toning, dodging and burning, and using other advanced techniques to enhance the images and bring out their very best.
Digital Delivery
Once I have processed your photos, they will be delivered to you digitally through a password-protected online gallery. This gallery will be available for a month, giving you plenty of time to review your images and download them at your convenience. You can choose to download individual images one at a time or the entire set all at once. My priority is to ensure that you have a seamless and hassle-free experience throughout the entire process.
Usage License
I want to give you complete flexibility and freedom to use your photos as you see fit. Therefore, all images come with an unlimited personal usage license, which means that you are free to use them for any purpose, whether it’s on social media, email, or any other platform. This license will remain valid for an indefinite period, giving you the peace of mind that your photos will always be available for your use.
Event Photos
For pageant event photos, high-resolution unwatermarked images can be purchased for CAD $15 per photo.
