If you still want to take your chance, then come on out and play with us at the following dates and locations!

 

Fall Fam 2019

 

 

Fall Mini Sessions have 2 packages, same as last year!

 Package (A) $245 –  20 minutes long – include 7 final images.

Package (B) $350 – 30 minutes – includes 14 images.

 

Full FALL family sessions are also available! Full sessions are 45-60 minutes long where you and I choose a date, time and location that work best for you and your family. These are much more relaxed and designed for your families needs and any special requests. These are highly recommended for families who dont get regular annual photos, who may need a little more time to warm up, shy kiddos, larger families with busy kids who may need breaks, and families who would like to have more time and images for whatever reason to better reflect their own families style and uniqueness. You will receive approximately 50-100 finished images delivered where you get to choose 20 final select images in the comfort of your own home. With also the option to choose more. These sessions are $475

You can email bookings@lisamariephotography.ca to inquire more about Full Family/portrait sessions as well as days and times we have available this year.
The dates have been set for the annual mini session event. This will be our 8th year, and sells out every year! I cant wait to see all my families again!

Stewart Farm House

Who’s Included: Up to 5 immediate members. ($25 fee for extra members up to 6 members per session) Please book 2 back to back sessions if you have more family members. PETS?? Yes, but PLEASE remember you have a short time slot, I recommend bringing your little (or big) loved one and a FRIEND who can take your pet away once we get a few shots :)

What if it RAINS?? These sessions are rain or shine! This is BC, we adapt :) and the farm house is an excellent locations to shoot rain or shine, with several barns, and covered areas. Every year has worked out amazing, we have had a little rain, even some SNOW in the past and with them being mini sessions it seems to work awesome, I’m fast and move quickly so no-one gets too cold. Make sure to bring COATS for the kids even for in-between takes shots and umbrellas (if needed)!! Redwood Park has massive trees and is great even if its sprinkling, but in a heavy rain we will relocate but NOT CANCEL unless of emergency….

Worst Case scenario? If it DOES become unbearable, then you will receive EMAILS on the morning of your session! So please make sure to check your emails if the weather looks “iffy”.

What to wear: YES, this is the best time to start your shopping! Fall clothing is out in stores now. Pick a color pallet you want to work with and have some fun! Its ok to not be very “matchy”, but its also very appealing to take your pallet and find fun ways to blend your family together. Pick 3 or 4 colours to work with. You dont all need to have the same colours! Pinterest has some great family photo wardrobe ideas, check it out!

 

Check out this blog by Kate Lemon Photography! I love the colour pallets!

Disclaimer

Mini sessions are in no way guaranteed. You are given 15 mins with Lisa only. Lisa makes every effort to work with your family and kids, but she can not be responsible for members who are not cooperating/smiling for photos, this includes fussy babies, toddlers who will not pose, teens who are stinky and miserable husbands. Please also note anyone saying, “oh but you can just photoshop that right?” will get a pinch :D

Mini session can run a little behind at times, if you are waiting for your session to start. Yes these are quick session times, but as you can imagine with up to 24 slots in a day, and between 24-72 kids, babies and toddlers coming and going the unexpected can and does happen. Please be patient and do not interrupt the current session. We are all moms, dads, and guardians, we all know that things happen. Please allot at least an extra 30 mins before you need to be anywhere else after your session time. Thank-you for your understanding.

 

Lisa Marie’s personal tips for successful sessions with kids!

A few days leading up to the session practice taking photos with your kids! But DO NOT make it a chore. Just have FUN with it. Show them the photos immediately. DO NOT make them pose. DO NOT make them say CHEESE. Encourage silly faces and sad faces and PLAY. BE IN THE PHOTOS with them and be silly!!! If you can, have the camera or your phone on mirror so your kids, babies and toddlers can see themselves in the frame.

YES- You can bring treats and bribes for children to earn during any portrait session. (Husbands love fruit snacks too!) PLEASE DO NOT give your kids “treats and bribes” prior to the session, these are magic weapons and to be used when necessary and when EARNED! DO NOT give your children anything that you can not take away from them. Please just keep this in mind when you are booking mini sessions. All finished photos will receive editing, but not retouching or extreme measures such as “swapping heads” ;), please make sure your kids are TATTOO free (big pet peeve lol)

XO Lisa Marie & Co.

Fallblog6*Please note that our turn around time is approximately 2-3 weeks but sometimes longer if we are very busy or there is unforeseen cicomstances. Holiday themes are always delivered prior to the holiday but not guarenteed. Lisa is full time shooting several days a week, and unlike some other companies, each image is edited very carefully by Lisa Marie. This does take time, so if you are unable to accept the turn around times, then its best you let us know if there is a special circumstance so we can let you know if we can get them to you sooner. This may mean that you need to find another photographer, but we will do our best to accommodate you :)*

Price:

$145 each session.

*SIBLING DEAL* you can add a sibling at $25 each. Up to 3 kids per session. If you have more than 3 kids please book 2 sessions and there will be no charged for your 4th child.

(that’s right, buy 3 get 1 free! LOL (sorry could not help myself) If you have 4 or more kids you deserve a little break and a big hug of wine every day for a job well done! (this is for immediate SIBLINGS only),

EACH EXTRA SIBLING will add 1 extra photo.

Book with a Friend BONUS!!

We often get asked to book cousins and friends together or back to back sessions. And this is something we love accommodating! It does give you more time and I dont mind squishing in friends and cousins together if time permits, so this summer if you book two sessions, back to back, you will get $50 ($25 each) off your session fee!

PLEASE bring a $2 donation for each child, this will go to the Historical Farm House who generously allows us to use this amazing property!

If you do arrive early to be respectful of the clients in session. Kids can be distracted or embarrassed quite easily by on lookers and other children. So a mindful distance is appreciated :)

GLITTER SESSIONS!!!!!! What???

 

I don’t know about you guys, but I could definitely use a lot more “sparkle” in MY life right now…

And what better way to beat the winter blues, then to create magical memories with that sparkly greatness… 

Screenshot 2020-01-17 16.27.18

I know I am probably going to regret this later on when I am cleaning up several pounds of glitter for the next year,

(and you guys will be washing it out of your hair for a few weeks,

but damn, its gonna be totally WORTH IT!!!

 

1 glitter toes

The cutest glitter toes I ever did see!! Click the photo here to check out the talented Sara Hunt Photography and her adorable little daughter when she did her first glitter session in 2017! I love Sara’s find art portraits SO much that I have signed up to take her “Making Magic Workshop” this coming year!

 

So, since I have not done these myself yet, and we are just in the planning stage,

I have snagged a few examples that I am using for INSPO! Ive decided that I will dedicate 3 weeks of SPARKLE TIME for EVERYONE!

 

Eeeek! I love this montage from Plum Poppy Photography from Knoxville TN. I adore her sparkly dress!!

 

EVERYONE is welcome!!! Moms and kids, granny and her bestie, anyone do wants a chance to shine and sparkle!

 

Screenshot 2020-01-17 15.34.48

This awesome set of photos are from the amazing Kristin Montgomery Photography in North Carolina, USA :)

These will make amazing MOMMY and ME sessions as well!!

I could not find any other examples of moms and kiddos playing with glitter,

so I will definatly get on doing some sneak peeks ASAP! 

(After V-day anyway!)

 

Screenshot 2020-01-20 16.04.02

It was definaitly hard to track the photog down for this one, but the link was “not found”. I believe this was shot by Sweet Plum Photography as the notes said on Pinterest, however there is a few of them!

 

And lets not forget about our little heart throbs!! 

This sweetie pie here was just too adorable! After following the rabbit hole, to the blog post at Fawn Lilly Photography, I learned that this was Sarah Jane Jerkins (the photog) son! Because sparkles are for EVERYONE and boys like to shine too!!!!

WEEK #1 SILVER SPARKLES! February 21st – 27th

 

Silver Glitter Week 1

Lisa Marie’s personal tips for successful sessions with kids!

A few days leading up to the session practice taking photos with your kids! But DO NOT make it a chore. Just have FUN with it. Show them the photos immediately. DO NOT make them pose. DO NOT make them say CHEESE. Encourage silly faces and sad faces and PLAY.

BE IN THE PHOTOS with them and be silly!!! If you can, have the camera or your phone on mirror so your kids, babies and toddlers can see themselves in the frame.

YES- You can bring treats and bribes for children to earn during any portrait session. (Husbands love fruit snacks too!) PLEASE DO NOT give your kids “treats and bribes” prior to the session, these are magic weapons and to be used when necessary and when EARNED!

DO NOT give your children anything that you can not take away from them. Please just keep this in mind when you are booking mini sessions. All finished photos will receive editing, but not retouching or extreme measures such as “swapping heads” ;), please make sure your kids are TATTOO free (big pet peeve lol)

Huck Finn Fishing Minis

Huck Finn Photography

SO many of you have been waiting for these all year. We only had a few days last summer, so I hope you can make it out this time!

 

Huck Finn Photography

 

HuckFinnBLOG3

Thats right Moms and Dads, Huck-Finn Inspired Sessions ARE BACK!

(note, I did not write MINI session!)

These can not BE “mini” sessions.

They are an experience!

Instead of the typical 15-20 minutes, we have allotted for extra time this year. Expect to be there for at least an hour or so!

Last year we found there there is just too many props and fun things to enjoy and play with to rush through these,  so be prepared to come a little early, to dig for worms while the session ahead of you is being shot, and stay and hunt for tadpoles after!)

Huck Finn Photography

We all know that girls have so many ways to dress up and play. As a #momtographer of all boys,

I am always looking for different ways to come up with creative sessions that boys can have fun with too!

And these are just as much fun for girls as well!

 

Huck Finn Photography

 

I am absolutely in love with these as I am sure you are too!

Huck Finn Photography

 

 

We have built our very own private dock, and fishing poles. Everything we need to play at the fishing hole over in South Surrey at Crescent Park.

“Guess what?? Lisa is offering a booking bonus for anyone who books with a friend!! Lets tell Mom to invite our cousins out too and she will get a $25 discount, and so will Aunty!!”

Who’s Included:: Up to 3 siblings per session. More children, will need more time. But dont worry! To make it easier for families and friends who want to get kids together, we decided

Disclaimer- Mini sessions are in no way guaranteed. In a perfect world, this would run perfectly on time, every time and everyones children will be well, happy and do everything we ask of them! But this is not always the case now is it! Not even with your kids right ;) Lisa makes every effort to work with your family and kids, but she can not be responsible for members who are not cooperating/smiling for photos, this includes fussy babies, toddlers who will not pose, teens who are stinky and miserable husbands (bring treats and bribes, the husbands love fruit snacks too!)

PLEASE DO NOT give your kids “treats and bribes” prior to the session, these are magic weapons and to be used when necessary!

DO NOT bring anything with your children that you can NOT take away. If you do not want “Blankie”, or “su-su” or iPads, etc in the photos, then bringing them and allowing them to have them right up to walking in and seeing me and yanking them away, is not a great plan. Bringing things to keep them busy is a great idea, but special comfort items should be avoided, unless you are ok with them in the photos.

You can help make your session more successful by prepping your children before even leaving the house :) For older children, use a point/reward system to earn something awesome after and I can keep that going in the session. For younger children, keep them distracted and happy as that is what my strategy is in the sessions well! (for older kids like mine, they just do what they are told now or else!! lol

You have a lot of power to help in this session way before seeing me! If you would like some more tips, please feel free to ask when you are booking and I am happy to give you a call!

Please just keep this in mind as well as REALITY when you are booking mini sessions. All of the photos here are real kids in a real session, just like yours. But not all kids will do exactly the same thing. I do not force poses or have expectations when any session starts. I work with the children who are in front of me, and adjust my agenda as we go through the session. I want every session to be successful and forcing kids to do anything usually downs work. So try come into every mini session with a open mind and respect who your children are. Take my lead, and try to have some fun with us :)

Please make sure your kids are TATTOO free (big pet peeve lol) Please also note anyone saying, “oh but you can just photoshop that right?” will get a pinch :D ALSO mini session can run a little, (ok, a lot sometimes) behind at times, if you are waiting for your session to start please be patient and do not interrupt the current session, we are all moms and dads and know sometimes other little ones need a little extra few mins at times and no one wants any kids to be left out. Please keep this in mind before you need to be anywhere else!

Thank-you for your understanding.

If your child is facing any challenges or concerns we should be aware of, if there is special needs that we can accommodate or any restrictions due to disabilities, please contact us with your concerns. We want to make sure that all kids who want to come out are welcomed with open arms!

Attire!!: YES, I have CAPES and MASKS! I have red capes, and Pink capes, and a few black ones. You are welcome to bring your own :) Super hero costumes are not needed. We have some to use as props, but we are not aiming to make this about those heroes. We are aiming to capture YOUR hero. Kids are welcome to wear their favorite costume for a few photos as well. Please keep in mind, this is not halloween. Its imagination time! Do not bring children IN costumes. We may have a harder time getting them out. We will save that for the end. Please put your kids in very simple attire. You can see in the sample shots here that the kids are wearing very basic clothing. Converse, sneakers, sandals, boots, Jean shorts, white tank tops are perfect. No logos, no loud prints.

Disclaimer- Mini sessions are in no way guaranteed. You are given 15 mins with Lisa only. Lisa makes every effort to work with your family and kids,but she can not be responsible for members who are not cooperating/smiling for photos, this includes fussy babies, toddlers who will not pose, teens who are stinky and miserable husbands (bring treats and bribes, the husbands love fruit snacks too!) PLEASE DO NOT give your kids “treats and bribes” prior to the session, these are magic weapons and to be used when necessary! Please just keep this in mind when you are booking mini sessions. All finished photos will receive editing, but not retouching or extreme measures such as “swapping heads” ;), please make sure your kids are TATTOO free (big pet peeve lol) Please also note anyone saying, “oh but you can just photoshop that right?” will get a pinch :D ALSO mini session can run a little behind at times, if you are waiting for your session to start please be patient and do not interrupt the current session, we are all moms and dads and know sometimes other little ones need a little extra few mins at times and no one wants any kids to be left out. Allot at least 15-30 mins extra time before you need to be anywhere else! Thank-you for your understanding.

Princess Dream Summer Photo Shoot

lisa-marie-photography-2017-3482

Its my pleasure to introduce to you my first Summer Session Event.

 

Lisa Marie’s Princess Dreams

princess montoge

One of a few special events that I am SO excited to offer my clients!

I have been waiting all year to put my vision together and see how these would turn out. I have seen many different kinds of princess sessions, and I wanted to do something different. Something special. Having 3 boys, I honestly had no idea that would love these as much as I do. I hope you and your little ladies will as well :)

princessblog2

These are not like my usually “mini” session events. This session is a bit longer, as we want the little girls to enjoy their time and feel like a real princess!

princessblog3

 

This special session is being offered a couple different ways. For those of you who can make it out. I will be setting up 2 Days this summer, where you can book a 30 minute session with me in our special little spot. A couple weeks ago I had a last minute cancelation and just happened to be close to some sweet little antique shops, so I’ve accidentally added a few new (ok old, yet gorgeous vintage) props and sets to our little princess palace. I have had a lot of fun creating this set for you all!

 

Dont worry! I have not forgotten about my super hero lovers!

lisa-marie-photography-2017-4615

I will be sending out the dates for those next week :)

princessblog4

 

Lovely little girls, antique vanity, lace, pearls, crowns, white satin gloves, and a bubble bath? Yup, way too cute for words!

 

lisa-marie-photography-2017-4327

No, none of these sweet little girls are models, if you can believe it or not. Just little girls playing princess :)

lisa-marie-photography-2017-3490

Ok, ok, time to hook you up!

 

First we are offering these two days:

July 15th from 2pm-8:30pm 

July 30th From 2pm-8:30pm 

Sessions are 30 minutes long on these two special days per child. Please understands that these sessions are not meant for more then one child at a time. If you have more then one child, we will be offering a 50% discount on a second session.   Second child will recive the same amount of photos and we will be adding an extra 15 minutes. Each child will get their own time as well as a couple shots with her sister :)

Place to be: We have literally carved out a special little spot in South Surrey. Address and directions will be sent after payment is made.

Arrival Time: Please arrive only 5-10 mins prior to your shoot time given booking. Late arrivals will cut into your session time. Please note if you do arrive early to be respectful of the clients in session. Kids can be distracted quite easily by on lookers and other children. So a mindful distance is appreciated :)

Session time: 30 mins

Cost One child: $195.00 (30 minutes 10 images) – Two children: $292.50 (45 minutes and 20 images) Three children: $390.00 (60 Minutes 30 images) – Four children: FREE (becasue you deserve that! includes all the same as 3rd package)

Attire: We suggest that your little princess arrives in simple attire such as a cute pair of shorts and tank top. Please note WE ARE NOT PROVIDING GOWNS for each little girl. However we do have the full pink tutus you see above as well as some cream lace dresses in various sizes. You are welcome to bring any gown you wish, or none at all. These are focused on the “behind the scene” of princess life. We have gowns that we use for props, but they are not allowed to be worn. We are not promoting a “disney themed” session, but realize that your little princess may want to have her photos in her favorite little gown and that is totally ok with us :)

What do you get?? A full gallery of the best photos and your choice of a minimum of 10 professionally edited high resolution digital photos in an online downloadable gallery. All full resolution photos you choose are delivered via email for instant download, sharing options on all social media sites, custom links for easy emailing, affordable printing options, and safe online storage for up to 10 years, as well as a free app for your smart phone where you can show off your gallery anywhere you are!

Age Recommendation: Recommended sitting  to 12.

For those of you who have more then one child, please email us with your children’s ages and we can design a package for you.

The SECOND option we are offering is a ON DEMAND Princess Dreams Session

I am aware that summer is busy, and that these dates may not work for everyone. Or that some may want some extra time and attention.

ON DEMAND sessions are when we come out just for your little princess. We will set up her little palace, either at our location, or one we mutually agree upon. We will spend an hour playing dress up and princess’s with your little sweetie making it all about her.

Please send us any questions you have. We would love to chat and help design this special session with you.

The cost of this session is $465.00.

This session includes a full gallery of the best photos and your choice of a minimum of 20 professionally edited high resolution digital photos in an online downloadable gallery. All full resolution photos you choose are delivered via email for instant download, sharing options on all social media sites, custom links for easy emailing, affordable printing options, and safe online storage for up to 10 years, as well as a free app for your smart phone where you can show off your gallery anywhere you are!

Me and My Daddy Sessions 2017

daddy and me blog header

Just like the name of this blog says, this session is for kids of all ages and their DADS!

superherophoto

 

Thats true Dad’s! This session is all about you!

(Note* Photos come in colour too. I was trying to be dramatic ;P)

 

lisa-marie-photography-2017-2-3

 

My goal this year is to really reach out to you MEN. All of you who have children. Men who still have their dads around!

 

Bring grandpa too!!

Bring grandpa too!!

 

Every year we get dozens of woman booking Mommy and Me sessions. Single moms, married mom. Moms who bring out their sisters and daughters and mothers. Ive had 4 generations of woman and kids at these sessions.

 

lisa-marie-photography-2017-7425

But the dads are in no way taking this as seriously! I know that your busy.

lisa-marie-photography-2017-1026

I know you hate getting your photo taken without a beer or fish in your hand.

Grab that baby girl and try flowers instead!

Grab that baby girl and try flowers instead!

 

I know that you probably feel like you take enough photos right? Selfies? etc.. You are in a few photos with your kids right??

daddyandmeblog1

Selfies are great in a pinch. But your phone won’t freeze giggles like these. (mostly due to slow shutter speeds, but also because how will you tickle those bellies and hold the phone! See? You need me! :D)

 

No, no, no. This will not DO!

As a Daddies girl myself…. I can tell you hands down, that my photos with my dad are SO important to me.

Like YOU are so important to your kids. Its time to start making these moments a priority.

 

lisa-marie-photography-2017-2432

lisa-marie-photography-2017-1526

There is 5 important kinds of dynamics in a family. There is the entire family together. There is the kids alone. The parents alone, and then Mom n’ kids and Dad n’ kids…

daddyandmeblog8

Each dynamic when broken down is SO unique. Moms, you need to hook the men up in your life and get them in. Grab grandpa and uncles too. This is an amazing opportunity (excuse) to grab some memories that not many get to.

daddyblog7

Only an uncle can get this face!

To all you single dads out there….. (GUESS WHAT???  This is allowed!)

daddyblog11

You dont need a woman to hook you up! You are allowed to book a photographer and get some professional photos done with your kids too! Of course you can!

lisa-marie-photography-2017-4688-2

Families change. Yes thats true.

But that does not make them any less important.

No matter what your situation is.

lisa-marie-photography-2017-0449-2

There are MANY incredible dads who support, care for, and share the responsibility in raising their kids, even single dads who do it all on their own for many different reasons. Dads who are busting their…. buns ;) being mom and dad. There is amazing step dads, and uncles helping to raise nieces and nephews. Grandpas who are still chasing 2 year olds and being amazing roll models.

©lisamariephotography.ca Sun set sessions are on sale right now (just till Sept 15th!) , very few openings left! email: bookings@lisamariephotography.ca

 

Yet for some reasons in all my 6 years being a family photographer,

I have never once had a single dad ever call and book a family session for himself and his kids. Not one time.

lisa-marie-photography-2017-9898-2

Moms do! Married Moms will book their husbands and boyfriends in for Daddy and Me sessions without them even knowing, and send the Dads on their way to me…because they KNOW how special you are to your kids. This is a wake up call guys!

lisa-marie-photography-2017-4190-2

Do you think this guy knows how much he means to that little dude?

The woman book you in becasue they know how much everyone in your family will cherish those images forever…

I’ve even had girlfriends book sessions for their boyfriends and his kids… (#truestory)

But NOT ONE Dad has ever arranged a session for him and his kids on his own. WHY??

lisa-marie-photography-2017-9851

Maybe because of this? (teehee)

THIS STOPS NOW.

I am officially challenging all you single DADS.

Pull up those big boy pants and lets DO THIS!!! I promise you, its not as scary as it seems! You won’t be alone! This is where you get to show up and I do the work!

As I did with the Single Moms, I am offering all Single Dads a 10% off discount. So take advantage of this, and grab those kiddies and let me show you, we got this!

daddyandmeBLOG123

I have spread the sessions over two weekends as I did with the Mommy and Me sessions as I know that alternating weekends happen, so hopefully this works! If you can’t make these dates work, please ask Jennifer at bookings@lisamariephotography.ca about booking a a ‘la cart Daddy ‘n Me for the month of June on a time that works for you. It will cost a little more, but it will be worth it!

When: June 10th & 11th, 17th and Fathers Day the 18th. I have opened up Fathers Day for a few hours in hopes some of you will get your families together and come see me! 

Place to be: We are heading to the Crescent Beach Area. Exact Location will be sent with directions a week prior to your session :)

South Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

Arrival Time: Please arrive only 5-10 mins prior to your shoot time given booking. Late arrivals will cut into your session time. Please note if you do arrive early to be respectful of the clients in session. Kids can be distracted quite easily by on lookers and other children. So a mindful distance is appreciated :)

Session time: 20 mins

Cost $185.00 

Are you a single Super Single Hero? I mean Dad?

I’d like to give a shout out to all my Single Fathers!! Single Dads will receive a 10% discount. Please let Jennifer know when booking!

This is where you can help support another BRO! If you know a single Dad who can’t not afford a session with his kids, I would love to help you sponsor this RAD DUDE! When you are booking, let us know you would like to sponsor another dope Dad, and we will share the cost with you! And if you send us their information we can send them a lovely gift card with a message from you explaining that you have gifted them this session and we can take care of booking them in!

This is on an honour system. No one will have to prove income or single hood. So I ask that when you are booking two sessions for you and your solo daddio, please consider that sessions are limited, and this is not Buy 1, get 1 1/2 off. This is you and I giving a gift. Being a single parent myself, I also have kids who need shoes too, and each session that I gift with you is one session less then I can take on.

Sessions Include: A full viewing gallery of the best photos and your choice of 7 edited images (more images available for purchase when viewing gallery is sent) delivered High Res, via downloadable gallery to your email address, all images are focusing on Dads/Grandfather/children-immediate families only please. Groups of up to 5 members per session. If you are planning to get uncles and cousins involved please inquire as to how you may book back to back sessions. *note, these are NOT Family sessions…. Dad’s only please :)*

 

WAIT, there is MORE??? Heck yeah there is!! I think we can all agree that..
