Frequently Asked Questions

Why family vacation / adventure photography?

 

Family time is the best time. We believe that there is no better place to have significant connections with our kids than in the outdoors and while on vacation. We are more apt to put aside our distractions and focus on one another. These shared adventures are the ones that go down in the family history books, and beautiful photography is a wonderful way to preserve those memories and re-live those stories for many years. Parenting is both challenging and an amazing privledge; what a gift to have photos that celebrate what it means to be part of a family, to have friendship and be loved.

 

 

We don’t really have any outdoor skills but we would love to take our kids / ourselves on an adventure. Do you offer a guiding service?

 

Helping people have a wonderful time in the outdoors is our specialty and our passion. We have a long history (16 years) of providing instruction and guiding services to people of all ages on outdoor adventures. We have also raised our kids on a healthy diet of adventure. We can provide all advice and instruction during your outing if you would like us to. Risk assessment and management are our responsibility – safety is our highest priority. Together, we make sure we have chosen an adventure that is a good match for your goals and skill level. We want your photo adventure to be the highlight of your vacation.

 

 

What are some ideas for an adventure photo shoot?

 

We are brimming with ideas! Contact us for more in-depth info. For now though, here are a few ideas to get you started! Hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, floating the river, chasing waterfalls, campfire & smores, backpacking, biking, camping. Or how about snowshoeing, cross country skiing, tobagganing or skating in the winter?

Snowmobiling, fishing and boating are not sports that we have any expertise in, but if they are your thing, we would love to tag along and photograph you having a blast.

 

 

Are there different options for the length of the photo adventure?

 

2 hour, ½ day, full day, overnight and multi-day wilderness adventures are all possible.

 

 

We are in the area for a few days doing several different activities. Could we spread our photo adventures over a few days?

 

Absolutely! In fact, we would recommend this. Having multiple opportunities to record your stories will be amazing. After all, famous people have their own photographers and tour guides. You could too!

 

 

What can I expect from an adventure photo shoot?

 

Our goal is to document the story of your family in the most beautiful way possible. We want to take your ‘real’ and put a little sprinkle of sugar on the top. We aim to capture those unscripted moments that make your family unique – those little looks, connections with each other and of course, the action and fun. With the backdrop of our beautiful natural environment, we have a winning combination. We will provide some direction or activities to get lots of variety in your photos, but mostly you are just going to be doing your thing and enjoying your time together! Check out our client gallery here.

 

 

Is the service you provide only for families?

 

No! Anyone is welcome to book a photo adventure. We love to work with couples, friend groups or extended families.

 

 

Where are you based?

 

We are based in Fernie, BC, Canada, the home of much fun, beauty and inspiration. We have no shortage of adventures right in our backyard.

 

 

Do you travel?

 

Travelling is one of our all-time favourite things to do so we are glad you asked! Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, we can most likely accommodate an epic photo adventure! Shoot us an email or give us a call. Travel outside the Elk Valley may incur an extra cost.

 

 

What if the weather is bad?

 

We mostly work with what we have got, but if the weather is particularly terrible, we have a little wiggle room to change the time or day of your adventure as our calendar allows. The Photo Adventure Fee is non-refundable once the booking is completed.

 

 

How long does it take for our images to be ready? Then what?

 

If you are in Fernie for a few days we will aim to have your photos ready for viewing at our studio before you leave town. We will select the best images (how many will depend on how long your adventure was), edit them and prepare them for you to see. At the photo viewing, you can make decisions about what to do with your photos. We have heirloom quality albums and beautiful photo clusters that can grace the wall of your home. Or you may want some framed prints. The choice is yours. We take all the hard work out of it for you. You select your favourite pictures and we do the rest!

If you left town or weren’t in Fernie in the first place, we will do the photo viewing session together on-line within about 14 days.

 

 

Why do we recommend getting your artwork printed?

 

We all have a gazillion photos that we have the best intentions of doing something with (other than sitting on our phones or hard drives). It is one of those things that we just never seem to get around to. Let’s create something that you, your children and grandchildren in generations to come can enjoy. The professional labs that we use, yield a high quality of print that are a tangible representation of who you are at this moment in time. Our clients tell us that is priceless.

 

 

Can I have the digital files?

 

Yes, of course! Digital files are available for purchase.
