Sessions

Of Wild Dawn

Outdoor adventure sessions are definitely my most popular sessions to book! Often sold out within hours of release, outdoor family sessions are the foundation of my business (and are just SO much fun!)

Check out my process and what you can expect from me below

Every session is our own little adventure. 

If you choose a mini session your session will be at a set location in Ottawa and will be at a set time. Mini sessions are perfect for 2-7 people and include 10 images of your choice.

If you choose a full session we will creativly collaborate on a unique location for your session and plan the all the details together. Full sessions are for an any amount of people and is 30 mins to 1 hour long and includes all images.

When you book your session, you will pay a 50% deposit to secure your date. An invoice will be automatically be sent to you a week prior to your session for the remaining balance. The remaining balance is due 2 days prior to your session.

Choose whether you are interested in a full family session or a mini session. I offer a handful of full sessions a month (sundays and wednesdays) and 1 mini session day per month.

Crystal has photographed my family several times and we could not be happier with both the process and the outcome. She was amazing with my kids and they had an absolute blast and it shows in the photos. We have them all over our house and get compliments every time. She is so passionate about what she does and I look forward to many more sessions with her. I would recommend her a million times over!

She is so passionate about what she does

Crystal is an AMAZING photographer! I’ve had multiple sessions with her and I’m always so happy with our family photos. She’s great at capturing those sweet and sometimes silly family moments. She is great with my girls, very sweet and calm energy which makes you feel comfortable I would 110% recommend her for your family photos.
