Thanks for finding us!! We are so grateful to you for checking us out. We hope you like what you see, and will come back and visit us often. Hopefully, you will want to join us and see your own family's smiles here!
A little about us- Geoff is a photographer that has a soft spot for textural photos and landscapes. He has his photography certificate from Niagara College. He is also a dad, and uses his children as his first (and favorite) models and test subjects.
Anita is the image designer, who loves working with the models and families, to try and get what is in her head into the image. She is also a mom to two wonderful kids. It is her role as mom, particularily to her 10 year-old son, who has been diagnosed with Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that moved her towards a new adventure in photo taking.So, what are we trying to do?
We want to provide special needs families with an environment and experience that is specifically catered to them. To do that, we want to integrate a few special things:
- You get a "Bad Day Pass". This means is that if within the first 15 minutes of the photo shoot, you feel that your child is having a bad day, and it's not going well, we will re-schedule the shoot, with no charge to you.
- We will come to you. Whether that is your home, or a park, or wherever you think your child is most comfortable, or has meaning to you, we will go there. As long as it is reasonable (as much as I would like to go to Mexico, that's not gonna happen! ) No sitting in a studio, worried that the family waiting next is going to hear the screaming and fussing.
- We will book the appointment to include “getting to know you time”. We aren’t going to start shooting right away. We would like to take some time to let your family and kids get used to us. We are different and out of the their ordinary routine. So, I will sit and chat with you, about what they like, what works, while my husband gets set up and ready. That way, by the time we are ready to shoot, they will be ready for us and be more relaxed (fingers crossed!). If not- see “Bad day pass”!
- We will do a combination of candid moments and posed shots. We would rather capture the easy natural smiles of your kids and family playing together and having fun.
- We will work around whatever your child needs. If your photos need to have their favorite car/ book/ toy, etc in it, we are cool with that. We are ASD parents too, so we get it.
Anita and Geoff
