If you want to work with me but my pricing is out of your budget here are a few options:
-Once your baby is 3 months old, you can do a 30 minute session or a mini session. Please sign up to my newsletter for info on all mini session. You'll also be entered to win a free studio session.
-Participate in a creative shoot. Creative shoots can be held all year but are mostly done in my slower winter months. Creative shoots are for me to test a new location, lighting a new concept or show off wardrobe. They are a way for me to experiment without the pressure of a paying client. In return you get a set number of images. You must be OK with handing over creative direction (including wardrobe, location, etc.) and be OK with video and photos used on my social media, website, newsletter and Pinterest. You are not able to go through the photos and veto any before hand. If this sounds interesting, please follow me on Instagram. These opportunities are shared via Instagram stories.
OUT OF YOUR BUDGET?
HERE ARE MY OPTIONS FOR YOU.
The Process
Booking and Preparation
I recommend booking around your 20 week scan.
After you book, I'll send you a welcome email filled with info plus a prep guide. A couple weeks before your session the stylist will be in touch. If you want she can get in touch earlier.
01
Session
All my sessions are directed and guided so you don't have to know how to 'to do' anything. Newborn sessions are at baby's pace, and not rushed.
02
Photo Delivery
After your session your gallery will be delivered in 1-2 weeks. If you want you can work with an album designer to create an album.

Testimonials
Francesca
Working with Michelle was an absolute joy! Her attention to detail and creative eye truly set her apart. Booking a session was an effortless, and her professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She captured the essence of our family in every shot. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional photography and timeless memories.
Mélisse
I’m absolutely obsessed with her work! We did newborn pictures and now our family Christmas pictures and they are absolutely gorgeous. Very natural look. I have gotten so many compliments on the pictures she took of our family. She is also very professional and great to work with overall. She gives you the confidence you need and you can tell she knows what she’s doing. There’s no one else I will be going to for all my family pictures!! She outdoes herself every time!
Questions and ANswers
When do we schedule our newborn shoot?
When is the best time to schedule a maternity shoot?
I always schedule on the day of your due date and move it from there. Ideally sessions are best when babies are less than two weeks old as they tend to be sleepier and more co-operative. However, I don't do elaborate poses and consider and if you don't feel good we can definitely push it. I've photographed newborns at the three month mark. Just consider that they will be much more wide eyed, and less likely to curl up.
I recommend between 28-32 weeks so that your bump is visible but you still feel OK to move around. Having said that, it's better to just do it than think you missed the window. I've photographed everywhere from 21 weeks to 41 weeks! I recommend you reach out to me at your 20 week ultrasound.
How to do the mini sessions work?
How does wardrobe work?
If you book a newborn client, you can book up to 4 mini sessions per year. These are weekday studio minis that can include just your baby or you and your baby. I do not offer these types of minis for any other clients.
For maternity wardrobe, I ask that you pick your favourites online and then usually I drop them off or you pick them up in advance. If you don't have time or it doesn't work out to do that, I suggest you just try on 2-3 dresses before the shoot starts. For newborn, I also have a website and you can make some picks but I'll always bring a few more pieces.
How does the payment plan work?
Is there a way to add a mini maternity session on if I book a newborn shoot?
Payments will be spread out as you choose up to 12 months. You will get a monthly invoice you can pay by credit card or e-transfer. Payment without a payment plan is 50% on the day of booking and 50% on the day of the shoot. Bump and Baby sessions are 1/3 booking, 1/3 maternity shoot day, 1/3 newborn shoot day.
If you book a newborn shoot and just want a quick and beautiful mama only maternity session, you can do a weekday, studio mini session. Contact me for details.
