Booking
Please book your session approximately four to six weeks in advance to ensure availability. Sessions are limited so that I may customize each session to the particular client's needs and give them 100%. For newborn sessions, book prior to the baby's arrival. I'll pencil you in based on the due date and then make room for you in the schedule once the baby arrives. When clients ask "When is the best time for a newborn session?" I half-jokingly reply, "Stop by on your way home from the hospital." In all seriousness, though, the sooner you have your new bundle photographed, the more smoothly the session will go. Newborns are ideally photographed within the first two weeks of life.
Do book well in advance for very specific dates like birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and communion days. Momento Photographic studio takes bookings seven days a week, both for studio sessions and home visits and we take evening bookings, because we know that every family's schedule is unique.

The Session
Sessions are held indoors and outdoors, in our studio, at your home or at a different, local outside location. Both parents and children are encouraged to approach the session as a "playdate." While it's natural to worry about photo shoots, wondering "What will we wear?" and "What if my kid doesn't behave?" there is truly no need whatsoever to stress! We'll kick our shoes off, maybe have some coffee, and just hang out. Kids will be kids and that's what I want to capture--their true spirit rather than their "smile for the camera" persona.
Your portrait session will normally last 40-50 minutes. During this time we’ll work through a number of different sittings and capture a variety of different images. There is no limit to the number of photographs taken and no extra charge applies if your session overruns.
We only run 2-3 sessions per day at the studio to ensure maximum time flexibility. This ensures you are never rushed.

Viewing Session
Within a couple of days of your portrait session we’ll arrange a viewing appointment where you can view all of your images and select your favourites on our large screen projector. You can select as many images as you would like for printing and framing. You can also opt to buy digital images in high and low resolution. Please allow at least half an hour for a viewing session.
If it is not convenient to travel to our studio for your viewing, especially for newborn and maternity clients, you can view your images in your personal, password-protected gallery in the client area of our website.
