2023 Cozy Cuddles Holiday Prep Info — Montreal Natural Light Maternity and Baby Photographer

Are you ready for some cozy vibes?

This page here is going to have all of the information you need to prep, plan and enjoy your cozy cuddles session with me this year! So keep scrolling to see our address, my tips on what to wear and more!

Location, location, location!

Our Studio is located in Ville Émard, in the Sud-Ouest of Montreal

7139 Rue Briand, H4E 3L8

Parking: We have plenty of street parking in front of our studio!

Timing: Please arrive for the time of your actual session. Please do not be early as we do not have a waiting room, please try not to be late. If you are late we will try to accommodate that, but if it interferes with another client’s session we will have to cut your session short.

What to Expect: We will begin with the family portion of the session, this tends to get the kiddos calm and understanding of what we are doing. It is a bit easier on them to be in your arms and safe when we start the session. Then we will move on to the portraits on your little one. We have two set ups, and you will see me working quickly but patiently to capture their sweet little cozy vibes.

Working with little ones: This is something I truly pride myself in being able to do, but I will need your help to make this work super well in what little time we have. It is a good idea, if your child is old enough to understand, to tell them about what we will be doing in the session. Let them know you trust me and that we will be going into a safe space in Miss Reina’s studio. When you arrive it is good to let me know if you have a shy or sensitive one as we will adjust the approach to getting their portraits done.

Reminder on Pricing

Your Session includes a half hour of photography and 10 full resolution digital images of your choice for $350

Tips on What to Wear

Y’all are gorgeous folks who know how to dress yourselves, but just in case I can help ease the stress of choosing clothing, here are some tips I use.

First things first, for cozy vibes, I wouldn’t dress up too much. And honestly the cutest and funnest sessions have been when people lean into the whole matching holiday pyjamas vibe! So FUN! Also with my pretty understated holiday decorations, it brings the festive attention directly onto you beautiful people.

But if Holiday PJs aren’t your vibe, that is totally cool! Wear clothing that is comfortable to sit in, as our family photo portion will be set up on the bed. So a nice comfy dress for Mom, jeans and button up shirts or logo free t-shirts for Dad, and a cute casual outfit for the kiddos will do perfectly. The colours we are using are very much in the earthtones palette. I will add a few palettes below for your reference, so that you can wear clothing that compliments these colours.

What not to wear: Dress up clothes. The vibe is very much cozy chill holiday vibes, so don’t wear holiday party clothes, as you may feel a bit over dressed.

After the Session

We will be meeting on zoom once your photos are completely edited. We will look at your entire gallery, and you will let me know if you wish to choose your 10 favourite digital images, or go for the upgrade and get the full gallery. If you choose to narrow down to your 10 faves, we will be doing that together on that same zoom call, and I will share with you my tips and tricks on narrowing down your images. Following this call you will receive your images via digital download, and you will have access to your gallery for 12 months (yes even if you only choose 10 digitals! You will not be able to download the images you did not choose from the gallery, but if you wish to print them you have 12 months to do so!)

Speaking of printing! We now offer a 45% off discount for the first three weeks with your gallery that applies to any print products we offer.

For your Holiday Cards, I will design those for our meeting, but we can discuss what images you would prefer to have, and if you would like to have a special message on it.
