I can't wait for Saturday. My apologies for not getting you this information sooner. This week has been monumentally busy and I've been pulled and stretched in so many different directions.
Rapid Fire Answers
WHERE?
Vanderklooster Christmas Trees
424847 Substation Road,
Burgessville, ON
Where do we park?
We are NOT parking on Substation Road. We are going to be parking on Cedar Line which is the far end of the tree field, far away from the main building. My vehicle will be parked (Black Nissan Rogue) on the side of the road, and we'll walk up through the bottom portion of the field.
What do we do when we get there?
If you're early and ready to go just stay in your vehicle until you see me. If you're early and still have some final stuff to get together, do that while you wait. At your shoot time, exit your car so I'll see you! If you'd like to enter the field just to get the tiny humans warmed up, that's totally fine as well! Just make sure I can find you at your starting time.
Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely! Dogs need to be leashed at all times!
What should we wear?
Whatever it is, make sure it's WARM! Below I'll link the Clothing Prep Guide page if you want to peruse that. Dress for the weather because cold and uncomfortable kids will NOT be happy and these sessions are so quick that there isn't much time for them to adjust to the situation.
What's the session info again?
Sessions are 15 minutes long booked back to back. It comes with 5 of your favourite images from a gallery of all the best shots taken. It's $125 plus hst ($141.25 total) and if you're paying via emt that can be sent to vanwalk.photog@gmail.com
When will the photos be ready?
I am trying to get galleries out as quickly as humanly possible because I know so many people need them for Christmas gifts. I'm roughly 2-3 weeks for finished galleries. If by chance you need them ASAP you can rush the gallery to have them in 48 hours. The rush fee is $150 (no tax) If this is something you'd like to do, reach out or speak to me to let me know.
Will you send previews?
In order to get galleries out as quickly as possible, I won't be doing any previews. I know you're so excited to see them! I need to prioritize sending out finished galleries and previews slow my workflow.
When do I need to pay?
You can pay on the day of the session, or when your gallery is done. It doesn't matter to me either way.
What if I'm late?
Please don't be! It's so much better to be really early, than be late. These sessions are booked right to sunset, so there won't be any light left at the end to do any sessions that get missed. So please please please be early or on time. Some sessions may not need the full 15 minutes for me to get a good gallery to send out, so there's potential for me to run slightly ahead, and if this is the case, if you're early I can stay on track easier.
Please be respectful of the property and my business.
If you're late or not able to make it PLEASE let me know. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed. I'd much prefer knowing you're not coming vs. waiting and worrying about something having happened to you.
The owners of the property have kindly allowed me to rent their space. Be respectful of the area and ensure kids are not being destructive to the trees as that's the farm owners livelihood. The ground is also uneven so to avoid injury be careful we're you're walking.
