Below You'll find (hopefully) all the information you need for these Flowery filled FAMILY SESSIONS. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL YOUR HAPPY FACES.
These sessions will be held at Brantwood Farms, in Brantford, ON. The address is 251 Powerline Road, Brantford. It was really easy to get to with the navigation on my phone. It was 35 minutes from my front door to the location.
Please leave with plenty of time for travel. Remembering that sometimes traffic on the 403 can be slow. The location will be closed by the time your sessions take place, so the parking lot behind the building shouldn't be too busy. When you enter into the parking lot you'll see a wooden building (That's the market, closes at 5pm) to the right of it you'll see a driveway, head in that direction. Directly behind that is a large parking lot. Park somewhere in there. When I get there early on Sunday, I'll send out a message to you with the field we'll be in, but the parking situation shouldn't change.
(YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR ENTRANCE INTO THE FIELD - I HAVE COVERED THIS COST - there is NO need to check in anywhere. If a staff member happens to approach you, you can let them know you're there for a photoshoot in the apple fields)
Please Please Please be on time, or better yet EARLY for your session. Because they're only 20 minutes long, you're going to want to utilize all that time. Leave early. Grab a coffee on your way and hang out until your session time. If you're running late please reach out to me to let me know. There is a 5 minute buffer between sessions but beyond that I can't extend your session to make up that time and I can't go over my allotted time that I've paid for in the space so please be on time!
You will be picking apples during your session. It looks like the apples currently ready for picking are Ambrosia and Crimson Crisp, but it's going to depend on which field works better for the lighting. You'll be taking 5lbs of apples home with you so be prepared for that! The session will be a mixture of candid shots with some formal posed shots as well.

General Info
Terrain & Local Inhabitants
Wear good shoes &don't hurt bees
This is a field on a farm. The ground is uneven and rustic. Please wear appropriate footwear and make me aware of any mobility concerns. There are bugs, and lots of honey bees. Please make me aware of any allerigies.
Come with a happy heart
& Remember to smile
These sessions will be quick, so leave any stress in the car and be ready to have some fun. If kiddos need some time to warm up, be sure to come early to give them a chance to warm up to their surroundings.
Please limit Sampling
Don't waste the apples
I'll 100% have the kids bite into juicy apples and have fun, but avoiding needless picking, snacking, and disposing will be respectful of the space we're in.
Quick Questions
What do we do if it rains?
I only had this weekend available for the apple picking, so if it's raining we could potentially reschedule to a weekday evening, or I can pop you into another fall mini session.
When do I pay for my session?
You can pay for it anytime really. You can pre-pay so you don't forget. You can pay on the day of the session (before or after) or you can pay when the images are done in case you want to grab a few extras. It really doesn't matter to me, and I keep track of who owes me what so I won't let you forget.
How long will my photos take?
Right now my turnaround time is 4-5 weeks. I always try to deliver in less time than that. If you need the photos sooner than that there is an optional rush fee of $150 (No hst) and you'll have your gallery within 48 hours from when you pay the fee to rush them!
How many photos come with the package again?
Five of your favourites. I'll edit the best ones and you'll choose your favourite 10 from that gallery.
Can I buy more photos?
Yep! Additional images are $15.00 each or you can upgrade your gallery for $150.00 (+ HST) But theres no pressure at all to do so.
What's the address again?
Brantwood Farms
251 Powerline Rd, Brantford, ON
N3T 5L8
I'm going to be late, who do I call?
You can text me 519 6083487. I left a buffer of 5 minutes between sessions so beyond that I won't be able to add time to your session if you're late. But we will make it work. I can shoot pretty fast!
Someone in my house is sick!
Honestly unless they're at deaths door and absolutely miserable I'd still bring them. The sessions are quick and I find that outside always perks kids up. Plus I'm also getting over a cold as well. So you're in good company.
I'm stressing about outfits!!
Shoot me a message and we can troubleshoot together. It's not supposed to be stressful, it's supposed to be fun!
Are there Bathrooms?
I'm pretty sure there's a porta potty somewhere nearby but don't quote me on that.
Do I have to pay to get in?
Nope! I've covered that fee for you! If an employee asks what you're up to, just say you're there for a photoshoot back in the apple field.
Can we bring our dog?
Unfortunately dogs aren't allowed in the apple field.
