Frequently Asked Questions
1. How are the "Christmas-in-a-box" Sessions done?
Your family will get to create 9 different images inside a big box in my studio, and then afterward I will merge them all into one photo like you see on this page! (You can choose which 9 images you want in your final box photo. These make great Christmas cards!)
2. Can we just do a "regular" photo?
Yes, we can move the table with the gingerbread cookies and do a classic family pose in front of the Christmas backdrop. Scroll down for some previous years examples of simple poses.
3. How many images will I get?
You will get 5 edited photos from a Christmas mini session. OR You will get 1 Christmas-in-a-box collage, made up of 9 individual photos.
4. Where is your studio?
We are in Langford near Costco. We do not accept drop in sessions, therefore information will be released upon booking.
5. When should I arrive?
Please Arrive on Time! Since these sessions are scheduled back-to-back, it’s important to arrive right on time—or even a little early! Feel free to wait in your car until your session starts, as there isn’t a waiting area in the studio. If you’re late, it will reduce your session time rather than affecting the next client.
6. How many people fit in the box?
Usually, two adults and up to two or three children (depending on their size and ages) fit in the box. If you have more than this, we can arrange people in separate boxes interacting with each other.
7. Can I bring my dog?
Dogs are allowed in the Christmas-in-a-box sessions, but not in the gingerbread cookie sessions.
8. What is your cancellation Policy?
Bookings are not refundable, but you can transfer them to another family if you're unable to make it.
Illness policy: Please do not come to your session if anyone in your family is sick. If you are sick, please let us know and you can reschedule at no extra cost. If no new date is available, you can transfer your payment to a gift card to be used at any time within the next year.
9. How many people can I bring?
These sessions are for immediate family only due to the timeframe. Due to set size, they work best for up to 4 adults or up to 6 people if some are children. If you wish to have more than just your immediate family (such as grandparents or cousins), please reserve two or more sessions back to back, and we will do separate photos for each family unit.
10. Can I do both types of photos (the box and the cookies)?
Yes! Please let me know prior to booking and I'll find a time where I have two slots open back to back. The fee for both is $350
