Enchanted Forest

We had an amazing experience at the Enchanted Forest. From the beginning when Shelley opened the door dressed as a fairy. She was so good at explaining to the kids what they should do in a playful way and the assistant helped to keep the kids happy! We were so happy when we left. 

We just saw the presentation of all the pictures, and I was in tears because they are all so beautiful and magical. Shelley is doing a great job. It is so obvious that it really is a passion from the heart, not just a job.

Ancient Castle

When your children come for a session in the magical castle, they choose their favourite princess dress, complete with head piece. For the boys there are knights and kings with swords. We capture gorgeous portraits as they look out the castle window or walk down the staircase. These heirloom portraits will be treasured for years and your children will tell their children or grandchildren "That is what I looked like when I was your age"

Down by the Pond

Bring your children in for a fishing experience! They will walk through the "forest" and find the pond. Get the worms out of the can and put them on the "hook" and with luck, they will catch a fish or two. Once they fill their fishing basket its back home for a "fish fry"! And the children believe every moment is real! Your family receives beautiful portraits created during the session.

Winter Wonderland

Who would have thought another amazing session & another tough decision to make. The winter wonderland was so much fun & the photos turned out amazing! I cam in for one image & will likely be leaving with a collection. I just love bring Jax in for the Storybook Sessions and being awed by how the images turn out. I can't wait to see them after touch-ups and editing to send to our family in the Christmas Cards. I enjoy these sessions & everyone who gets photos with Shelley loves their end results. I am so happy we did this session while Jax is still young and small.
