You don’t know how to pose?Perfect. You don’t need to.
Natural, outdoor & lifestyle sessions in Vernon & the Okanagan Valley, for couples, families and everyone who want to create good memories
So, how does it work?
A few things to know before booking a couple photo session with me

Most couple sessions last around 30 to 45 minutes.
This gives us plenty of time to move around, get comfortable and capture a variety of natural moments without things ever feeling rushed. Regarding the weather and the light, we can move to a different spot to give a different mood to your session.
You’ll receive 15 carefully edited images, delivered in a private online gallery.
Each image is thoughtfully selected and edited to tell your story in the most authentic way.
Your full gallery can be unlocked for an additional fee.
The best light happens during golden hour — either shortly after sunrise or just before sunset.
This soft natural light creates that dreamy, warm and cinematic look that we all love!
But if the sun decides not to show up, that’s completely okay! Cloudy skies often create beautiful soft light that naturally flatters skin tones, softens facial features and can add lovely depth to the sky.
And even on overcast days in the Okanagan, evenings can still surprise us with incredible sunset colours. Nature always finds a way to create its own magic, so don’t worry too much about the weather! But if you still want to change the date, that’s ok and we can find another date together.
Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring one outfit change if you’d like a little more variety.
I always recommend choosing outfits that feel comfortable, natural and true to you.
The best outfits are the ones that feel comfortable and truly feel like you. But here are some tips to choose the right outfit:
• Avoid large logos or busy patterns
• No neon / overly bright colours
• Stick to neutral, earthy or soft tones
• Try to coordinate your outfits (not matchy-matchy but harmonious) with your partner
• Layers and textures always look great on camera!
• Bring your sneakers or confortable shoes as we will have to walk 5-10 min
• Bring an extra layer just in case
• Feel free to bring a small accessory (hat, jewellery etc!) if you want – And for your engagement session, don’t forget your ring!
But most importantly, choose something you feel confident and comfortable in! And if you’re unsure, I’m always happy to help you choose between a few options before the session.
Sessions take place outdoors around Vernon and the Okanagan Valley.
Some favourite spots include:
- Kalamalka Lake
- Foothills trails
- Okanagan orchards
- Wildflower fields
- Quiet forest trails
- Hidden golden hour viewpoints
& If you already have a meaningful place in mind, I’d love to hear about it!
Yes, a short cinematic video can be added to your session with an additional fee.
It’s a beautiful way to capture emotions, movement, and the atmosphere of the moment!
More than okay!
You do not need any experience in front of a camera.
I’ll guide you naturally throughout the session so nothing feels stiff or forced – the goal is simply to create real moments together. ✨
I can promise you that you’ll maybe feel awkward in front of the camera for the 5 first minutes only, and it’s gonna be just fun for the rest of your session!
