About Photography From The Soul | Wedding & Family Photographer in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario

1. Where are you located? Do you travel?

I’m based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, and I serve clients throughout Southern Ontario—including Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford, Hamilton, and the GTA.
Yes! I’m always happy to travel farther for weddings, elopements, or longer sessions. A small travel fee may apply for locations 40+ minutes outside KW.

2. What types of photography do you offer?

I offer a bit of everything but focus mostly in wedding, elopement, and family photography. This includes:

  • Full wedding days (6, 8, or 10-hour packages)

  • Elopements/ small weddings

  • Engagement sessions

  • Maternity and newborn photography

  • Family portraits

  • In-home lifestyle sessions
    I also offer seasonal mini sessions!

3. How do I book a session with you?

Start by filling out the inquiry form on my website: www.photographyfromthesoul.ca
Once I receive your message, I’ll send you more information, pricing details, and booking instructions. A signed agreement and retainer are required to secure your date.

4. How far in advance should we book?

  • Weddings: I recommend booking 12–18 months in advance, especially for summer and fall dates.

  • Family or portrait sessions: Booking 1–2 months ahead is ideal, especially during peak seasons (May–October).

5. What should we wear for our engagement or family session?

Once you book, I’ll send a full Session Prep Guide including outfit tips and colour palette inspiration. I also offer curated PDFs with seasonal wardrobe advice—like warm neutrals for summer or cozy layers for fall. Most importantly, wear something that feels like you and allows you to move comfortably.

6. Do you photograph indoor or outdoor sessions?

Both! I adore natural light and often shoot in parks, fields, conservation areas, or by the water.
But I also offer in-home lifestyle sessions for families, maternity, or newborns, and I have access to local studio spaces if preferred (studio rental fees are extra).

7. Do you offer gift certificates?

Yes! Gift certificates are available for any type of session and make a beautiful gift for baby showers, birthdays, or anniversaries.

8. Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. For weddings and larger sessions, I offer flexible payment schedules to help make the process easier. Just ask!

9. What’s your editing style?

I aim for timeless, true-to-life edits with soft warmth and natural tones. I don’t overly retouch or alter your appearance—I focus on highlighting real connection and beauty as it is. I also offer a subtle film-look edit upon request.

10. Do you deliver RAW (unedited) images?

No, I don’t deliver RAW files. Part of my artistry includes curation and editing to deliver a polished final gallery.

11. How many images will I receive?

  • Weddings: On average, you’ll receive 50–75 images per hour of coverage.

  • Family sessions: Full 1 hour sessions include 35 images, with the option to purchase more. Minis include 10.
