Portraits
For all types of sessions you dream of.
The best part about photography is that the skies the limit when planning the type of session you envision, and the creativity associated with it. I'm here to make it happen from planning, capturing and delivering the session we book together. Booking a photo session is an excellent way to celebrate your life and important aspects of it, create priceless memories of your loved ones and empower who you truly are.
​
I'm happy to share all of the tips & tricks I have for you for your session beforehand with hidden gem locations, wardrobe ideas/recommendations and logistics of the shoot. During the session with providing posing and prompts that evoke more natural/candid photos, playing your favorite playlist or songs that make you feel more comfortable and keeping things light and fun! Lastly, I'm extremely thorough with attention to detail when editing your gallery to ensure I'm delivering a result that's above and beyond your vision.
Photos taken with loved ones, for yourself or whatever your vision may be, are so important and worthwhile. Sessions booked with me are where you learn how to become comfortable in front of the camera, see the value in doing a photo session, and walk away with a gallery you get to cherish forever.

Katie & Brooklyn
"Mariah was amazing with my daughter and I's photography session. She was very professional, friendly, and patient with us. Mariah made sure to capture all of our special moments and truly captured our relationship. We received our photos in a timely manner and were blown away by the final product. Mariah's attention to detail and eye for capturing beautiful moments is truly exceptional. We highly recommend Mariah for any photography needs and can't wait to work with her again in the future."

We have returned to her year after year for photos of our family, to capture the growth over time. I am so grateful for these memories! We do them on the same weekend every year so we can watch the realistic growth.
What a gift! What a talent! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

HOW SOON WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?Depending on the time of year your wedding takes place, galleries can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months to be delivered. Peak season is between June-September so you can expect any albums during those months to take a little longer than usual!
-
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?The amount of photos you receive can range anywhere from 50-75 photos for every hour I am scheduled on your day! The fluctuation in number can be due to a few different circumstances including the size of the wedding and the events that occur during the big day. The good news is oftentimes I take and send much more than quoted!
-
WHAT IS THE COST AND HOW DO WE BOOK WITH YOU?My wedding packages start at $2250. They are catered to you to include photography coverage, timeline assistance, & your private online gallery. - Larger packages include a complimentary engagement or anniversary session. - If you are looking for only a couple hours of coverage, let me know and we can look at customizing a package for you :) For booking, please complete my Wedding Inquiry form. After it is confirmed that I have your wedding day available, I will send you a contract to sign as well as 1/3 of the session fees are required to book your day.

WILL YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA?The answer to this question is easy... yes, yes, YES. I am so in love with travel and experiencing new locations & environments for capturing weddings that I will be there in a heartbeat to capture your day. Usually when I get an inquiry for an out of province or international wedding, i'm already looking up flights to your location for your wedding date! On that note, I am flexible for travel outside of BC as well as outside of Canada. Send me your dream location and lets make it happen!
