Welcome! I'm so excited for these quick and easy minis. Here you'll find *hopefully* all the information you need for your upcoming session this weekend. After going through all this info, if you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Rapid Fire Question & Answer
Where am I going?
You will be going to Hometown Style in the heart of downtown Ingersoll. It's located at 155 Thames Street South. You can park on the main road, or in the lot off of King Street and walk over. Sometimes the street parking can fill up quick, so be sure to leave enough time for you to get to the store by your timeslot.
What do I do when I get there?
When you enter the front door (wipe your feet) and then proceed to the back of the store. There will be staff in the store so they may say hello and tell you where to go, but if they're busy, you're going to proceed halfway through the store, and before the ramp to go to the changerooms there's a staircase to your left. You're going to go all the way up those stairs to the landing/waiting area.
I'm in the waiting room, now what?
I hope I'll be running on enough time that I'll be able to greet you, but if not, just wait there in the waiting area at the top of the landing. Hang up your coats and remove shoes if you're not wearing them for photos. Take that time to make any last minute fixes to hair and outfits. There's lots of places to sit and wait here, and as soon as I'm ready for you I'll come get you.
Note: I'm on the other side of the wall, you'll hear me.
How do the timeslots work?
I have clients booked into 10 minute sessions. Most sessions are booked back to back, so it's really important that you're early or on time. 10 minutes doesn't seem like a lot, so be sure to be ready to go so we can use all that time to our advantage.
How soon will I get my photos?
Within a week, I will send you an unedited gallery of the best shots we got. From that gallery you will choose the images you would like to purchase. You'll simply press the heart on the images you'd like and I'll get them in the editing queue.
What's the package again?
Your package is $100 plus hst and will come with 3 of your favourite images. If you're doing a double session, you'll choose 6 images.
Can I buy extras if I want more than 3?
Absolutely. Extras are $15 each (plus tax) or your full gallery (all the ones I put in your proof gallery) for $150 plus tax.
How do I pay you?
The session is $100 + HST ($113.00) you can EMT that to vanwalk.photog@gmail.com and make the security answer Christmas. You can pay on the day of, or once you've chosen your image so you're only sending one transfer.
What do I do after my session?

What should we wear?
Great question. Anything you want. This backdrop is pretty neutral, so it should flatter most colour palettes and outfits. Just make sure kids are comfy in whatever they're wearing and everything fits in a flattering way. Festive wear is perfect for these. Shoot me a message if you want to talk specifics.
Some Helpful Reminders
- Please be on time for your session. It will maximize the amount of time you have for shooting and keep the day running smoothly. If you are running behind or need help with directions please contact me as soon as possible.
- Try to keep your mood happy. I know that getting ready for photos can be stressful and overwhelming. It's important to try to stay positive and calm. These sessions are meant to be quick, so kids won't have as much time to warm up to the situation. Just remember, a calm kiddo will be a happy kiddo!
- Be respectful of the space. The owners work very hard to keep the studio and waiting area clean and tidy. Please make sure children are being gentle with furniture pieces and the space.
