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 frolic in the wildflowers, then 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 mountain mini session


  • Layers - even in summer! The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable and windy, so ensure to dress for the worst & then hope for the best. At least a light cardigan packed in your bag should be good!
  • 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.
