FAQ
How do I book?
Please email us at hellojoiphoto@gmail.com ! A credit card number will be required to hold your appointment time, but will not be charged unless you miss your appointment.
What is the address to the Mutt Hutt?
7-320 Jessop Ave (back building)
How long will my shoot take?
This totally depends on your pooch! Some dogs will nail their shots in the first five minutes and others will take longer. Plan for approximately 15-20 minutes. Keep in mind — sometimes these shoots get better results when ‘Mom & Dad’ wait just out of sight.
What should I bring?
Bring your dog’s favourite treat or toy!
Can I be in the photos too?
Sorry! For this event it’s pups only — though both Memories By Mandy & Joi Photography offer lifestyle sessions with pets.
Is there an option to purchase digital files on their own?
We strongly believe prints are the way to go, but understand the value of owning digital negatives. If you would prefer to forgo the package options listed and just purchase digital files they are $80 each.
What types of payment do you take?
Debit & Credit will be onsite!
How soon until I see my photos?
Right away! We’re set up so you can view your photos and decide on which package you’d like only 10 minutes after your dog’s shoot!
What if I need to Cancel?
Please give us 48 hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment.

FAQ
What do we wear?
-We suggest wearing festive clothing. (However, no big logos or busy patterns! Plain always looks best) Feel free to dress up in your pretty Christmas outfits or come in your Christmas PJ’s. It’s up to you! (As long as it matches Red, as our set has just the right amount of pops of red!)
Is the session fee just $60? What does that include?
-Our session fee for the mini’s is just $60 and that includes your 15 minute session. Digital files and Christmas cards are additional.
When do I place my order for my preferred package?
-Orders can be placed before the big day (to get your images quicker), or on the day of your session.
What type of payment do you accept?
-We accept Cash, cheque, email money transfers, Visa & Mastercard (Credit cards must be swiped in person).
What do you require to hold our day/time?
-We require the $60 session fee as your non refundable retainer. If something comes up and you aren’t able to make it, your session fee is transferable.
Can the parents be in the images too? Or is this just limited to children?
-The whole family is welcome! Depending on the ages of the kids, we suggest the sessions for families of 5 or less due to the size of the set. If the kids are too large for your lap, the set will be too small for your family, sorry. Please ask if you have a special situation!
Can I get a different Christmas Card? Or change the text?
-Our cards come as seen in the image above. The only like that we can change is the line that says: "Love, the Gray Family" in the sample above.
Do you have examples of your work from previous mini sessions?
-Yes! You can take a peek at last year's mini sessions HERE.
Someone in my family is in a wheelchair. Is your studio wheelchair accessible?
-Sorry, our studio is upstairs without elevator access.
How do I book?
-You can book your session by emailing us at: memoriesbymandy@shaw.ca , or through our website: memoriesbymandy.ca.
I think that covers it! If you have any other questions, please contact us through email: memoriesbymandy@shaw.ca! Cheers!
As are are busy planning this year's Christmas Mini sessions at our Saskatoon Photography studio in the north end of town, we thought it would be fun to reminisce about last year's minis. We had so many wonderful people come through. Here is just a small highlight of what our Mini's from last year looked like. This year, we will have a much different, but equally as cute and rustic set. Check back for more details!!!

With summer, comes anniversaries! This beautiful couple celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this summer!!! 65 years!!!!!! Isn't that amazing?! I always try to ask our eldest couples what the secret is to a long lasting marriage. Her advice? Always have fun! This family was nothing short of just that. It was obvious it wasn't this families first time in front of a camera... everyone was so relaxed off the hop, and one family even brought props!!! The day of the session the entire family had traveled from all over the province to celebrate 65 years of marriage.
Below is a great example of what our extended family sessions look like. This one was a 1 hour session, originally planned to be outdoors, but due to crazy weather had to move it indoors, as rescheduling sometimes just isn't an option! Needless to say, our simple studio made a perfect backdrop! And can I just point out the clothing?!!! Nailed it!!!
It was an absolute pleasure to capture this beautiful family! Congrats, again, on 65 years!!!!
