Let's Document Your Story

Been in business since 2007. Started in BC in 2007 and moved to Alberta is 2010 I have used both indoor studio set ups and natural outdoors. I prefer outdoors as that is where you look your best.

Unwatermarked, digital files. Photographer chooses which image(s) are included in the package. Commercial & Product packages are different. Mini or Themed sessions will always outline what you get in that package. How many digital files depends on your chosen package.

The parties agree to cheerful cooperation & communication for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment, the photographer is not responsible if key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during photography sessions or for missed images due to details not revealed to photographer. The photographer cannot be responsible for unusable images due to distractions from other parties, eyes being closed and other circumstances beyond the photographers control.

I will not show, distribute or sell any unedited, raw images that do not make the cut for your package. I, the photographer, decide which images taken will be printed or delivered to you.

Please note I do respect people’s privacy and I have a lot of work that I don’t share as per clients requests.

I do not want to pressure a child into cooperation or smiles, I take my cues from them. A child’s innocence of smiles & the odd frown are what make lifestyle photography so unique that I cannot guarantee smiles or cooperation on the child’s part. What we capture will be your photos. Please ensure that you the parent are present during the entire shoot and to encourage & discipline your child if need be.

Any damage of equipment belonging to Heather Palmer or belonging to the location vendor caused by you or a member of your family will be an expense you the client will cover.

Please also take into consideration that Heather Palmer will not break or bend laws, rules or bylaws to accommodate a specific photo for the client.

Commercial, product &/or Branding sessions will be priced differently and we will talk about that in our initial consult. Contact the studio directly to get this conversation started.

Don’t worry. I got you covered. Depending on the overall theme of your session will dictate outfit & color choices. We will go over all this before we get together.

The where is always a concern. I have many secret gem locations. Mostly outdoors as you look your best in natural light. But I am no stranger to your living room or a make shift studio. Some spaces, both indoors & out may require a permit &/or licensing fees. Those will be discussed before we commit.

I have shot it all. Rain, snow, freezing temps & sunny skies. I have done boudoir in both summer & winter outdoors. Family photos are great in the winter too. Hello Fairy Tale Vibes. And don’t worry about that “golden hour” that photographers seem to love. We will make any time of day in any weather work for you. #trusttheprocess
