The Magic of Adventure Sessions
(and Why Black Friday Is the Best Time to Book One)
When I think back on my favourite moments with families, they’re never the ones where everyone is perfectly lined up and smiling. They’re the moments in between: the laugh that escapes unexpectedly, the kid who takes off running, the parents who soften into each other because—for once—there’s nothing to do but be together.
That’s the heart of an Adventure Session.
These sessions aren’t about perfection. They’re about connection, movement, play, curiosity, and everything that makes your family uniquely yours. They’re about capturing what it feels like to love each other in this moment of your life. And that’s why they remain some of my most cherished sessions to create.
As you’re thinking ahead to what kind of session you want in 2026, here are a few reasons why an Adventure Session might be the best gift you give your family this Black Friday.
1. You’re not rushed — which means everyone relaxed
When families are given time and space to settle in, the magic just happens.
No pressure. No rigid timeline. No “smile at the camera!”
Just an experience that lets your real connections show up naturally.
2. You get to choose a meaningful location
An Adventure Session isn’t limited for location in the same way that a portrait session can be.
You can choose:
the mountains
your home
your favourite place in the city
The location becomes part of the story you’re telling—and it lets your family feel grounded, comfortable, and authentically you.
3. The best light of the day is actually available
Golden hour truly is as magical as everyone says.
But it’s nearly impossible to schedule during busy seasons when you’re juggling school, sports, work, and bedtime.
When we choose a date intentionally, separate from the chaos, we can lean into that gorgeous, flattering light.
4. We pick an activity — and the story unfolds from there
Every Adventure Session is built around something your family loves.
It could be:
blowing bubbles in the park,
exploring a trail,
baking cookies at home,
wandering downtown, or
taking the family boat out for a spin at the cabin.
The activity becomes the heartbeat of the session, and I document everything that unfolds around it.
This is what makes your gallery feel alive, honest, and full of personality.
5. Your kids’ personalities change fast — these sessions hold onto who they are right now
The way they tuck themselves into your side.
The way they skip instead of walk.
The stuffy they refuse to leave behind.
The giggle that still sounds a little like the toddler they used to be.
An Adventure Session is made to capture the tiny details you’ll want to remember later — the ones that so often slip away.
6. Black Friday is the ONLY time these sessions go on sale
If you’ve been thinking about doing something meaningful next year, this is the moment to say yes.
Black Friday offers my deepest discount of the year — and it won’t return until next November.
There’s no “right” way to capture your family
If you prefer a more traditional session, I’m always happy to create whatever fits your vision.
But if you’re craving something relaxed, meaningful, and full of heart—an Adventure Session might be exactly what you’re looking for.
