Questions and answers
Do you travel for sessions?
01
YES! Take me with you! I love exploring and being able to capture love in different places of the world whether it's for weddings or any other session! My travel fee is $0.50 per km for any location outside of Barrie, ON within an hour's drive. Anything over an hour is $0.70 per km.
What if I'm not good at getting my photo taken?
02
I make your sessions so much fun that you will forget to be awkward! I don’t like to have you pose but I get you to be natural and interact with each other and focus on one another that it’s like I’m not even taking photos!
How long does it take to get my photos back?
03
Regular sessions have a turn around time of 4+ weeks including proofs being sent and edits done of your chosen photos. This can take longer during busy season. Weddings are 12+ weeks for proofs sent and delivery of final edits. I usually get quite excited and get to editing right away. It will depend on the busy season but I also like to post a sneak peek because I just can't wait!!
How do I receive my photos?
04
You receive your photos in an online gallery that is all yours for 2 months for regular sessions and 6 months for weddings where you can download, share and order prints right from there. You can access your online gallery from any device.
How far in advance do we have to book?
05
Regular sessions are available to book 2 months in advance to make sure we choose a date that works the best for both of us as well as the weather. Weddings are booked quite early, usually a year in advance as brides are eager and photographers book up extremely fast. The earlier the better for booking your wedding to ensure your date is still available. Running out of time? Send me an email, I may be still available for your big day!
How can I get prints done?
06
You can actually order prints directly from your online gallery! You choose all your products, checkout right there and haven them shipped directly to your home! If you would prefer to get them printer yourself, you have the option to take your digital files to a location of your choice to be printed.
Tips for your session
What should I wear to my session?
If you are looking for colour ideas, I recommend neutral colours such as beiges, yellows, sage greens, black and whites. If you want to add in a splash of colour I would suggest a colour like mustard yellow, rust orange, burgundy, forest green. Patterns are nice in a subtle way but make sure you don't clash with anyone else in your session.
Don't forget to ACCESSORIZE!! I love the look of cute hats, jewelry, blankets, scarves and anything else you can think of!
Testimonials
Mikaila + Darren
Rachel was truly a large part of making our wedding such an amazing day. She goes so far above and beyond – it feels like a bonus that her photography skills are incredible. She made us feel so comfortable, she was so helpful and kind and just awesome to be around. Everyone loved her, everyone loved hanging out with her on the dance floor, everyone loved the amazing pictures she captured.
Would and have recommended her to anyone I know, and everyone that got the chance to meet her at the wedding says the same. We feel SO lucky that we found her!
Amber + Mitch
I haven’t even seen the rest of our engagement photos (choosing them tonight, yay!) but just from the few Rachel shared I already know I will love them. Mitch and I had a blast during our shoot. We couldn’t help but feel comfortable about Rachel, she’s very personable and easy to let loose around. She captured the exact mood and tone I was so desperately looking for in our photos and I cannot wait to have these beautiful memories forever.
I plan on continuously coming back for any/all of our families milestones to come!
