2025 PORTRAIT SESSION PRICING
GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi! I am Karina, an on-location and natural light photographer. I am based out of Brantford and serve all of Ontario.
I am a wife to Brian, a mom to three super sweet girls and one adorable little boy. When I am not taking photos, I am hanging out with my family, drinking coffee, reading, working on new house projects or dreaming up our next family adventure. I am so grateful I get to balance motherhood and photography. There is nothing else I would rather do! Thanks for stopping by!
My sessions are very relaxed and meant to be playful and fun so that I can capture what your family is like at this stage of life. I focus on capturing the emotions and relationships between each person in your family. So I will ask you to hug, snuggle, tickle and play together to get those genuine smiles and moments together. I tend to photograph a mix of portraits and candids.
I like to recommend beautiful natural landscapes such as a beach, field, trail, or any other outdoor location that you may enjoy. My other favourite location to shoot is in the comfort of your own home where your kids are familiar and comfortable in their own space. If you need location ideas I can definitely provide some options.
Typically family & maternity sessions are planned for the evening in the last hour or so before sunset. This is when the lighting is most flattering and creates a beautiful glow.
Newborn sessions are planned during the day for when baby is most content. I tend to photograph newborns anytime between 7 days to 1 month old. The younger they are the more sleepy they typically are during the session.
What season do you want to have your family documented in this year? Each season has it's own perks. The spring brings beautiful blossoms, the summer has warm, playful evenings on the beach, fall with it's rich colours and leaves and winter with it's fresh bright white snow. All seasons are beautiful for different reasons. Keep in mind what you want to do with the photos. Do you want the colours in the photos to coordinate in your home? Then pick a season that can match with the feel of your space.
I love to help give ideas and tips for what to wear at your session. I know this can be a little stressful when planning for your photos. I am here to help! Once you have booked your session I will share my online guide to assist you through choosing your outfits.
Typically sessions take about 3-4 weeks to edit. Once they are complete you will receive your images in an online gallery where you will be able to download the high-resolution and web-sized images for your personal use. From this gallery you will also have the option to print photos directly from my lab.

HOW DO WE BOOK?
Once you are ready to book please email me to let me know. I require a non-refundable retainer fee and contract signed to add your name on my calendar. Final payment is due the day of the session.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
If the weather is not looking great then we can definitely reschedule for a better day. This can even apply to indoor newborn sessions as I heavily depend on natural light.
WHAT IF my child doesn't cooperate?
I like to keep my sessions moving and playful. I know little ones do not sit for very long so I totally work with that and keep everyone moving. I definitely recommend bringing along some of their favourite snacks (that won't get their clothes dirty!) to help keep the energy and excitement up.
I am so happy we are going to work together to photograph some beautiful memories for you and your family to enjoy! Please send me a message and we can start to plan your dream session!
I'm So excited!!
