Offering Fall Mountain Minis in October 2023 because fall is beautiful and let's face it, everything is better in the mountains.

Mountain mini photo sessions in Kananaskis during the fall season are a must because let's face it, everything is better in the mountains and fall is the most perfect season! Temperatures are moderate, leaves are changing, fashion is FUN & full of interesting texture...and in the mountains? The scenery is absolutely stunning, magical even, and it's literally in Calgary's backyard. Picture this - a beautiful mountain backdrop, evergreens for days, the wind blowing in your hair & the golden sun hitting your face while you playfully run around & snuggle your loved ones close. In just 25 minutes, you will have beautiful, magical & adventurous photos (and memories!) of you and your loved ones to display in your home and share with friends & family.

How to prepare for your fall mini session in the Kananaskis mountains


  • Layers!! The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable and windy, so ensure to dress for the worst & then hope for the best. Knit cardigans, puffy vests & trendy fall coats should definitely be packed in your bag! Don't you love fall fashion?
  • Leave lots of time to get there. Traffic from Calgary to the mountains can be just as unpredictable as the weather and is often quite busy.
  • Bring snacks for the car ride - everyone loves snacks! Well-fed people are happy people, which is what is needed on session day.
  • Play some fun tunes in the car, so you feel relaxed instead of nervous or stressed.
  • Make a day of it! Have a plan for before or after to make the most of your time out there. I will announce the exact location closer to the day, but there's definitely a few little stops you can make to break up the drive if needed. And there's lots of wildlife to see along the road.
