Calgary Family PHotography Sessions:

Calgary + Area Outdoor Sessions

Depending on the current season and where you live, there are many local locations that I love to work at. Some of these include Nose Hill Park, Fish Creek Provincial Park, or urban neighbourhoods such as Inglewood or the East Village.

In-Home Family Sessions

The best location for super personalized family photos in your home. Doing your family photos in your home adds a cozy vibe to your photos, and documents your space as it changes along with your family.

Family Photos in the Mountains

If you are feeling more adventurous, we can meet in Banff or anywhere in the mountains for your family photos.

From others:

“Jena has a way of making you and your family feel at ease as though you’re just hanging out with a good friend. She has a terrific eye for candid moments. We are thankful we chose to have her capture these special moments we will never get back.”

“Jena is like a kind fairy godmother, extremely calming during a chaotic teenager, toddler and newborn photoshoot. I instantly relaxed and knew that we were in great hands.”

“My family had a blast, and it was very emotional seeing the photos afterwards. She captured each of my kids’ personalities perfectly. The session was so us.”

My family photography sessions are designed to feel like intentional time together, not a performance for the camera. I provide guidance as needed, with no pressure to be perfect. We will curate your session around your family’s rituals and personality. The focus on creating sincere and meaningful moments that tell your story. After our time together, you will have printed and digital heirlooms for your family archives.

I photograph families in a way that prioritizes connection. That means letting moments unfold instead of directing every detail, giving your kids room to be themselves, and paying attention to the quiet moments just as much as the big ones. Final galleries are a blend of classic portraits and candid moments.

This style of family photography is for those who value a creative approach and a commitment to legacy.

Collections range from $3500 to $5000 for half- and full-day sessions, which is absolutely the best way to document your family. The more time we have together, the better the results. Smaller collections begin at $1400 for a classic one-hour session.

You can find more detailed information about the experience and collections here.

My 35-minute Slow Roll sessions are offered yearly, every once in a while.

Advanced booking is recommended so that we have time to plan an experience that suits your family. I am based in Golden, BC, Canada, but family sessions are available anywhere. Please reach out for custom quotes and to confirm availability.

You love your kids, and they love you. And if we give everyone space to be themselves and show that love in their own way, I am ready with my camera to catch the moment. When your family photography session is spent playing and laughing, the results will be real moments and smiles.

Fall Family Photos at Nose Hill Park — Calgary, ALberta

We originally had to reschedule this family photo session. And since the Fall is such a popular time for photos, the only time we could make work was a weekday morning. The universe smiled on our decision to show up to school and work a little bit late, and gave us the most beautifully sunny Fall morning we could have asked for.
