The Night Before Christmas Session
Annika had a magical time with Santa! An hour-long session where she ate milk and cookies with Santa, painted toys, read the bible, found Santa’s home on the globe, had magic sprinkled into her hands and so much more. I was worried she would be afraid but Santa was so gentle and kind that she laughed, smiled, and engaged with him the entire session! It was a special memory that I will cherish always .

The Art of Portraiture offers different Storybook Themes throughout the year in my studio located in Calgary, Alberta. These are limited edition sessions available to just ten families per year. Your child(ren)'s faces will light up as they select their outfit and enter the three-dimensional set filled with engaging props. They will be guided through a unique experience filled with fun while we create stunning, heirloom portraits for your home and storybooks your children will ask you to read to them again and again.
Children don't stay little long, but they stay in our hearts forever.

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."

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 came in for one image & will likely be leaving with a collection. I just love bringing 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."
