We invite you to explore our most frequently asked questions below to learn more about our professional photography process in Halifax.

Family Portrait FAQ

How long does a family portrait session take?

Our sessions in the Halifax studio typically last between 45 to 90 minutes. This allows plenty of time for different groupings and ensures children feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the experience. We never rush our clients, as the best portraits happen when everyone is at ease.

Do you offer outdoor sessions in Halifax?

Yes! We love shooting at local landmarks like the Halifax Public Gardens or Point Pleasant Park for a natural, lifestyle feel. These locations provide a beautiful Nova Scotian backdrop for your family story and are perfect for larger multi-generational groups.

What should we wear for our family portraits?

We recommend coordinating colors rather than matching exactly. Neutrals, soft earth tones, and jewel tones work beautifully in our Halifax studio. Avoid large logos or busy patterns that can distract from your family's authentic expressions. Simple, classic clothing ensures your portraits remain timeless heirlooms.

What if my children won't sit still or cooperate?

Don't worry! As an experienced family portrait studio, we are experts at working with high-energy children. We use a mix of posed and candid photography to capture genuine smiles. We find that a relaxed environment leads to the most authentic and joyful family images.

Can we include our family dog in the session?

Yes! Pets are part of the family. We welcome well-behaved dogs in our Halifax photo studio; just let us know in advance so we can prepare the space for your furry friend. We love capturing the unique bond between families and their beloved pets.

Do you provide digital files and physical prints?

Our family portrait studio offers a variety of collections that include high-resolution digital files for sharing and archival-quality prints for your home. We believe that portraits are meant to be displayed, and we can help you choose the best products to showcase your memories.

How do we receive our final images?

Following your family portrait session, we carefully curate and professionally edit your gallery. You will receive a private online link to view and download your high-resolution heirloom portraits for sharing and printing. This gallery is usually ready within 2-3 weeks of your session.
