FAQ
Where do sessions take place?
I offer outdoor sessions throughout Elora, Fergus, Kitchener-Waterloo, and surrounding areas, with locations chosen to fit your family’s style and the feeling you want captured.
I also offer relaxed in-home newborn lifestyle sessions, where we can document those early days in the comfort of your own space.
If you have a special location in mind, I’d love to hear your ideas! I’m also happy to provide personalized location recommendations and help choose a setting that feels natural and meaningful for your family.
Do you offer studio sessions?
Yes! Studio sessions are available for families who prefer a beautiful indoor setting or a more timeless, controlled environment.
Studio sessions can be added to any package. The studio rental fee is added separately at cost and will vary depending on the studio selected. I’m happy to help you choose a space that fits your vision and create a seamless experience from start to finish.
Do you charge a travel fee?
Sessions within Elora, Fergus, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, and surrounding areas are included with no additional travel fee.
For locations outside of my standard service area, a travel fee may apply. Travel fees help cover additional time and mileage required to reach your chosen location.
If you have a specific location in mind, feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to confirm availability and any applicable fees.
When should I book my session?
I recommend booking your session as early as possible to ensure availability, especially for newborn sessions.
For maternity sessions, many families choose to book during the second or early third trimester, typically around 28–34 weeks.
For newborn sessions, I recommend reaching out during your pregnancy. I’ll reserve your due date on my calendar, and once your baby arrives, we’ll adjust your session date based on when your little one is born. Newborn sessions are typically best captured within the first few weeks after birth, but I believe every baby and family is unique, so we’ll choose a time that feels right for you.
For family and milestone sessions, booking 4–6 weeks in advance is recommended, especially during busy seasons like fall.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I believe preserving your family’s memories should feel exciting—not stressful. That’s why I offer flexible, interest-free payment plans for all sessions and collections.
A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date, and the remaining balance can be split into manageable payments leading up to your session. If you’d like to set up a custom payment schedule, just let me know—I’m happy to work with you to find an option that fits your family’s budget.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
Life happens, especially with little ones! If you or someone in your family is feeling unwell, please let me know as soon as possible. I’m always happy to reschedule your session to ensure everyone is healthy and comfortable.
Your non-refundable retainer reserves your session date and is therefore non-refundable. However, if you need to reschedule, your retainer can be transferred to a new date within 6 months, subject to availability.
If I need to reschedule due to severe weather, illness, or an unexpected emergency, your retainer will be transferred to a new date at no additional cost.
Please note that cancellations without rescheduling or no-shows will result in the forfeiture of the retainer.
What should we wear to our session?
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable. I recommend choosing outfits that reflect your family’s style while keeping the focus on connection and the moments we’re capturing together.
Soft, neutral tones, textures, and coordinating colours tend to photograph beautifully and create a timeless look. I recommend avoiding large logos, bold patterns, or anything that feels uncomfortable or distracting.
Before your session, I’ll provide styling guidance and help with outfit ideas so you feel confident and prepared. My goal is for your photos to feel natural, authentic, and true to your family.
Do you offer sneak peeks?
Yes! I love sharing a few sneak peeks whenever possible so you have a little glimpse into your session while you wait for your full gallery.
Sneak peeks are typically shared within 1 week of your session and are selected at my discretion. While I do my best to share them, sneak peeks are not guaranteed and do not replace your full gallery delivery.
When will I receive my photos?
Your gallery will be delivered within 3–4 weeks of your session date. Once your images are ready, you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos with family and friends.
Can I print my photos?
Yes! Every session includes a personal print release, allowing you to print and share your images for personal use. You’re welcome to print your photos wherever you’d like, and your online gallery makes it easy to download your high-resolution images.
Can I share my photos online?
Absolutely! I love when families share their images. When sharing online, I kindly ask that you tag Jess Robyn Photography so I can celebrate these memories with you.
Please do not apply filters, edit, or alter the images in any way, as they are delivered with my completed artistic editing.
Do I own the copyright to my photos?
As the photographer, I retain the copyright to the images I create. This allows me to protect my original artwork and continue using my images for my portfolio, website, and marketing (unless you request otherwise).
Your session includes a personal print release, which gives you permission to download, print, and share your images for personal use. This means you can enjoy your photos without needing to purchase additional files or ask for permission to print.

Family session
"We welcomed Jess to our home, to capture family photos to commemorate our 60th Birthdays. Jess was able to capture the true essence of our relationship as a couple. Friends commenting on the photos posted “so much expressed, so beautiful”. We were very happy with the timely availability of photos via an easy to use portal. We would recommend Jess to family and friends and look forward to her capturing more milestones as we journey through this adventure we all call LIFE."

Maternity session
"Jess was such a professional and directed the session with such ease. Our shoot was an hour away at a gorgeous vineyard which she booked for us and she worked with the venue to coordinate the whole thing which we were not expecting! Her passion clearly shined through every step of the way with her guidance through the shoot. We were so thrilled with the finished results and will definitely be booking again in the future!"
