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 theyβll recommend the best time of day.
-
Great question! Multiple locations refer to different backgrounds and compositions within the same spot. For example, at Tujak Lake, weβll capture photos in various scenic areas around the lake, providing diverse backdrops without leaving the location. More locations mean more variety in your photos. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to our team!
-
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, weβve been known to do our best to accommodate people's preferred dates. Contact our team, and weβll work together to find a day and time that suits your schedule.
*There is no guarantee weβll be able to accommodate your request, but βyou miss 100% of the shots you donβt takeβ

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.

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.
-
We got you. This is something we do every day, so donβt stress. For most of our clients, this is their first-ever photo shoot, so we guide you through beginning to end, from where to look to what to do with your hands. Weβll tell you what looks good and correct anything that feels off, all you have to do is smile!

We love to hear your ideas! Our photographers have their go-to poses, and part of what youβre signing up for is our style. That said, if you have a special pose, or a Pinterest-worthy inspo shot you want to replicate, let your photographer know during your shoot, and weβll see if we can accommodate. Unfortunately, we canβt guarantee we can accommodate any request for the sake of time and logistics but weβll do our best!

As adorable as kids are they donβt 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
