Family Photography in the Rocky Mountains

Lifestyle Family Photography Sessions in Canmore, Alberta

Family photos in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with a Focus on Candid, Natural images

I am a Canmore family photographer who works with a blend of 35mm film and digital imagery to create candid photos for families in Canmore, Alberta.

My family photo sessions are designed to be comfortable. Many of my past clients say it felt more like spending time with a good friend. I will guide you through your session to create candid, natural photos of your family.

Canmore is the perfect place for your family photos, with its mountain views, easy access, and quiet trails. Whether you are local to the area or visiting from abroad, your session includes recommendations for mountain locations. For family sessions in Canmore, I love to work at Quarry Lake, Three Sisters Viewpoint, or along the Bow River. We can also meet in Banff or Calgary for your session.

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.

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.”
