Maui session - Saskatoon Photographers

I had the most incredible time shooting on the beaches of Maui last February!  Our wonderful clients and friends happened to be in Maui as the same time as us, so we did their family photos this year in the tropics!  I'm so in love with everything about this session!  I wish I could shoot here half the year (I think you know what half I'm talking about, haha).     

Grade 12 grad models wanted - Saskatoon Photographers

We are looking for a couple of Grade 12 students (1 male, 1 female) to model for us in their graduation attire for our Mentorship program. Applicants must fit the following criteria:

-Must be in grade 12, graduating this spring.
-We are looking for females in their grad dresses AND males dressed casual in new or like new plain clothing.  No logos or patterns.  (check out old navy or gap.)   
-Must be OK with us using their images for our portfolio/student portfolio (this includes online). Parents must sign model release for those under 18 years of age.
-Must be available between 1-3:30 on Sunday, May 20.
-Any comfort level in front of the camera welcome!
-All sizes/looks encouraged to apply!

This is much different than what a normal session with us looks like, as there will be a lot of teaching the other photographers how to pose and shoot grad's. Please email us a photo of you in your grad attire to apply! (memoriesbymandy@shaw.ca). Please forward to a grad who might be interested!

Familiar faces - Saskatoon family photographers

It's always a pleasure to see some familiar faces.  I photographed their wedding and they since welcomed this little beauty!  She is just as sweet as her parents.

Unicorns - Saskatoon Studio photographer

Spring mini sessions - Saskatoon Photographers

We are so excited to launch our brand new limited edition spring mini sessions!!! Sessions take place at our Saskatoon Photography Studio in the north end of Saskatoon on Saturday, April 28, 2018.  This is what our limited edition set will look like (outfits are from Carters/oshkosh)....

FAQ

What do we wear? 

-As always, we can't stress how important clothing is for your session!  Wearing plain clothing, with no busy patterns or big logos look best and allow the child to be the focus instead of the clothing.  Buying new clothing for your session is highly suggested.  Any type of wear in the clothing can show up more drastic in your images, so purchasing new is ideal.   We suggest wearing your favorite dressy clothing for our Spring Mini Sessions and have created a 'what to wear' for your spring mini shoot with us.  Pastels/neutrals will look fantastic on this set!  All of these outfits can be found at Old Navy, Gap, and Etsy.

*Not our images. 

Is the session fee just $39?  What does that include?

-Our session fee for the mini’s is just $39 and that includes your 10 minute session.  Digital files are additional.

Digital files come in two packages:

The GARDEN PACKAGE - $329 - 10 digital files.

The SPRING FLOWERS - $179 - 5 digital files.

Who chooses the files we receive? 

-The photographer will choose the images based on the package you choose. 

How long until I receive my images?

-Images will be available 2-3 weeks from the session date via digital download.  Add your images to a  custom crystal Memories by Mandy USB for an additional $29.   

When do I place my order for my preferred package?

-Orders are placed on the day you book your session. 

What type of payment do you accept?

-We accept Cash, cheque, email money transfers, Visa & Mastercard.

What do you require to hold our day/time?

-We require the full payment 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?

-Due to the size of our set, our spring mini sessions are limited to children only.  We suggest no more than 3 children on the set at one time. 

If I would like prints can we order those as well?

-Of course!  You can order prints/products at anytime after your session. 

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.  

Can't make it on the day of our minis?  For the month of April, add this set to any regular priced studio session absolutely free! 

I think that covers it!  If you have any other questions, please contact us through email:  memoriesbymandy@shaw.ca!  Cheers!

Meet our retoucher!!!

It's embarrassing how long it's taken me to write this blog post, but better late than never, right?  Meet Bryanna! She has been working with us for almost a year now, taking care of most of our editing/retouching. If you have had a session with us in the last year or so, this wonderful gal likely retouched your images! Mandy and Bryanna first met 10 years ago working at a photo lab, that has since closed, and have kept in touch ever since. We are thrilled to introduce Bryanna to all of wonderful clients!!!  

Saskatoon family photographer

This session was full of energy and full of fun!  It's always a good time when this crew comes to see us for their family portraits.  They needed some updated images of their littlest girl to add to their canvas wall collage at grandmas house, so I was thrilled to see them at our Saskatoon photography studio.  It's so hard to pick just a few from their session:). 

New wall at the studio - Saskatoon photography studio

I am so in love with the new wall at our Saskatoon photography studio!!!  It's the perfect addition to our space! 

With spring right around the corner comes fresh new ideas and exciting things in the works!  In the meantime, I hope to blog a bit more and post some adorable images of some adorable children. 

Happy Holidays!

From our family to yours, happy holidays! 

Holiday hours:  Closed December 23-December 27.  Back in the office on December 28.
