What is an 'Unposed' Family Session? Unposed sessions are shot as candidly as possible, resulting in images with a relaxed, & genuine feel. You will be given prompts to help you interact with each other naturally; telling jokes, playing, and snuggling. Whether the location is a favourite beach, picnic spot, or your own home-- the focus is less on everyone looking at the camera and smiling, and more about capturing the heart of your gorgeous family. Expect to move your bodies, get dirty, and have fun!

faq
How far in advance should we book?
It is always recommended that clients book at least 2-3 months in advance. More, if you have a specific date in mind!
What should we wear?
I'm a firm believer that a bit of effort in styling makes all the difference. I am always happy to help clients with their wardrobe choices. I have some excellent Pinterest Boards that I can refer you to, as well as a Client Closet that you are welcome to borrow from at no additional charge. All you need to do it ask!
What if it rains?
Rain actually makes for beautiful, emotive images and is some of my favourite weather to shoot in. However, if the rain is truly terrible, or the temperature takes a very sudden and severe dip below zero, I would be happy to transfer your deposit and booking to a new date (subject to my availability) Please keep weather in mind when booking though! For example, if you can't stand the idea of a rainy-family-portrait session, then perhaps November-May is not the best time to book a session.
If rain concerns you greatly, consider doing an 'in-home' session inside your own home... Or ask me about my studio space!

What does 'unposed' mean, anyway?
It means that we will have very little focus on arranging your family in stiff, traditional poses. Instead I will give you fun prompts to get you interacting and moving in a way that look (and feel!) fun and natural. I capture the magic as it unfolds in an authentic way. The end result is that you walk away from the session feeling like you just spent an hour playing & being silly with your family, rather than doing a photo shoot.
When can I expect to RECEIVE my photos?
You can expect to see a few 'sneak peeks' on social media within a few days. After that, I aim to have your gallery ready a few weeks after your session. If you are in a rush and need things done faster for whatever reason, don't hesitate to let me know! I'm always happy to do what I can.
WHAT IF WE FEEL AWKWARD?
I guarantee you that 9/10 clients that I work with initially describe themselves as "unphotogentic and awkward". However, they quickly learn that sessions with Wanderlust are dynamic and fun! I will help you with natural (un)posing directions that get you moving, laughing, and having a really, really great time. As long as you're able to relax & engage with your loved ones, you'll soon forget all about how awkward and unphotogenic you think you are.
how many photos will i receive?
Standard sessions yield a minimum of 60+ edited, and beautiful images. I aim to over-deliver whenever possible.
Do you travel for shoots?
Heck yes! But sessions more than 40km from my home-base of Trail, BC are subject to a travel fee of $0.95 per km.
Tell me more about your studio space!
I am thrilled to now share an amazing studio space in downtown Trail, BC. This natural-light space is available to my clients at no additional charge. It is perfect for intimate maternity sessions, cozy newborn sessions with an 'in-home' vibe, or family sessions during the cold/dreary months when shooting outdoors isn't ideal.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Not generally! Unfortunately I have run into issues in the past were recipients of gift cards have not booked their sessions in a timely manner, resulting in my prices increasing significantly during the wait. This has lead to disappointment and frustration.
Not to mention, as a photographer who takes a fairly non-traditional approach to shooting and editing, I want to ensure that the clients that I work with have booked me because they know my work and love it-- not just because they received a gift card to me.
Because of these reasons, I find that it makes the most sense for my business not to offer gift cards. I would encourage those who are looking to gift a photography session, give your friend/family member cash, and encourage them to use it to book a session with a photographer of their choosing.

DO you have a client closet and what the heck is that, anyway?
First of all, YES! I have worked together with 2 of my favourite local photographers to give our clients access to a massive shared client closet.
A client closet is a curated collection of clothing that clients can borrow from for their photoshoots. Each item is hand picked by professional photographers for its versatility and fun aesthetic. We have pieces for women, children, and even men (though the majority of items are for women) in a multitude of sizes.
Access to our Client Closet is available free of charge with any & every booking. You can coordinate with me to come view, try on, and choose pieces prior to your session. I will then have your selected pieces freshly steamed and ready to go on the day of your shoot.
