Depending on the time of the year, your plans for the day, when sunrise and sunset take place, and which package you book, that will determine which location your photographer recommends. You can see all of our favourite locations here. Portraiture Locations.

If you have a preferred location, let your photographer know and they’ll recommend the best time of day.

Mornings are our most popular choices, between 5-7 am in the summer months, and 8-10 am in the winter months. Mornings tend to offer softer diffused lighting and are also great if you want to avoid the crowds, as the afternoon is typically busier.

Afternoon photoshoots can be great for "Golden Hour" (the sought-after lighting condition for beautiful photos). Based on the time of the year you book, please speak to our photographers regarding a recommended sunset time.

Cancellations happen but are rare; luckily, we’ve been known to do our best to accommodate people's preferred dates. Contact our team, and we’ll work together to find a day and time that suits your schedule.

When shooting in Banff and its surrounding areas, it's best to stick with neutral and earth-tone colours such as blues, whites, greys, blacks etc. This way, you can coordinate with your partner's clothing easily without clashing. In the summer, you can add a pop of colour with blues and yellows, but during the winter, it's best to avoid wearing white as it can blend in with the snow.

*Nick aims to edit and deliver galleries within 6-8 weeks of your session, however during peak season this can vary. A rush rate is available and can applied if you wish to receive your final gallery within 1 week of the session. For more information on rush fees please contact Nick directly after booking.

A notice of 60 days must be given to receive a refund. If not, bookings can be rescheduled or a credit can be held on your account.

We shoot rain, snow, or shine! Rocky Mountain weather can be unpredictable and our job is to make any weather condition work. If the weather is not cooperative, we will do our best to reschedule.

Props are always a fun way to mix up your photoshoot! If you have anything you'd like in the photo such as an engagement sign, flowers, or a blanket, bring them with you. For families with young children, we recommend that you bring a few toys to keep their attention during the shoot.

As adorable as kids are they don’t always cooperate when in front of a camera, luckily, your photographer has some tricks up their sleeves.

1. You know your child best so pick a time that works for them! This could be just before or just after nap time when they are the most cooperative.

2. Make sure they are fed and bring plenty of snacks.

3. Give them something to do! We encourage bringing a toy or two to keep them occupied in between those camera clicks.

4. If all else fails, your photographer will work their magic during the shoot to bring out the best of everyone

Photography is our specialty, from shooting, to editing, to delivery. We provide only the edited JPEG files to you copy-right released.

Through minor editing, removing distractions from the background, and enhancing the colours and clarity of the mountains, we strive for a timeless style that you can show off for years. If you desire further editing, please speak to your photographer first so we can better evaluate your needs.

Additional edits are subject to a fee based on what’s required.

Entry and service fees are charged at most national parks and national historic sites, where revenues are kept to support visitor services and facilities. This means that every time you visit a park or site you are investing in its future — and in a legacy for future generations.
