SEASONS
SPRING - Fresh blooms and airy strolls through the park. Even though Spring begins in March, we typically don’t begin shooting until mid May because the weather in Alberta is still pretty chilly. When we schedule spring dates, we typically schedule both a primary date and a backup rain date.
SUMMER - Walks on the beach hand in hand. In spite of the heat, we’re big fans of summer sessions! Because of the later sunset, sessions sometimes begin as late as 7pm. If you’re taking your engagement photos during the summer, we recommend bringing extra makeup and a few towels to make sure you stay fresh.
FALL - Colorful leaves and snuggling close. Fall is one of the prettiest times of the year on and because of the perfect weather, our schedules typically book up quickly! If you have your heart set on a fall engagement session, I recommend letting me know it as soon as you book!
WINTER - Snowfall, hot cocoa and cozy coatsIf you’re planning to take your engagement photos during the winter, keep in mind that if your session takes place in the evening, we could begin shooting as early as 2:30pm to catch the sunset. We recommend dressing in layers so that in between photos you can warm up. Make sure you bring a little extra makeup and tissues in case your nose begins running.
As a backup for potential bad weather or rain, we schedule two sessions in case of needed cancellation.
We’ll check in the week of your engagement session to confirm the time & location we’re meeting and the weather. We know it takes a lot of time to get ready for engagement session and it’s the worst to get dressed up and drive out to your session only to have it rain. Let us know what works best for the two of you - but if the weather looks like it won’t be great, we typically try to make the call the morning of your session. The exception is winter sessions. Sometimes winter storms come out of know where and we will need to cancel sometimes without much notice so we keep everyone safe.
