Family Photography in Guelph, Ontario
Also serving Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Fergus, Elora, Burlington, Hamilton, St Jacobs, and more.
My Approach
My photo session vibe is: your family is all polished up for a fun family hangout, and your artsy friend (that’s me!) is tagging along making the kids laugh and taking photos of everyone living in the moment together.
I would describe my family photo style as casual, authentic, timeless, and soft. During shoots, especially with little ones, I’m very go with the flow, and prioritize keeping the kids engaged and happy.
Rather than stiff poses and forced smiles, I’ll guide you through prompts, games, and ways to explore your environment together so we capture those real life family moments.
I have over 12 years of experience working with young children and 5 years of experience in family photography. I'm not afraid to look silly by singing children's songs, playing fun games with them, or using my imagination to create a memorable experience!
Happy Clients
Process At A Glance
Inquiry Form
Click the ‘I’M READY TO INQUIRE’ button above and fill out the inquiry form in 3-5 minutes.
After I answer any questions you may have, I will send over a proposal. The proposal includes a contract and the invoice for the session fee payment ($249+HST). Once the proposal is submitted, your session is officially locked in my calendar!
Review and submit the Proposal
Leading up to the photo session, we will iron out any details we haven’t decided on yet like location, timing, wardrobe compositions, and everything in between!
Prep and Plan
I’ll guide you through prompts for your photoshoot. I love movement in my photos, so please don’t feel stuck in the poses I instruct. You are always welcome to hug, kiss, look around, play, hold hands, or change your position in anyway - in fact it’s encouraged!
Photoshoot
Within 2 weeks of your photoshoot date, I will email you your online gallery. It will include all the edited digital photos (typically about 35-50). After reviewing your photos, you can decide on your investment (10 for $169+HST, 20 for $195+HST, or all for $249+HST).
Gallery Delivery
The online gallery has a built in shop for ordering prints and other keepsakes directly to your home. I also work with a print lab and offer custom framing and heirloom albums.

Client Testimonial
I’ve worked with Holly at Glass Rose Productions 3 times and each time was just as lovely as the last. She has captured some of the most magical and important moments in my family’s life. From my engagement photos to wedding photos to my baby’s first birthday, Holly was always attentive to detail and super professional. I would recommend Holly if you’re looking for a photographer to capture the most magical moments in your life!

I keep my pricing simple and flexible so it works for every family.
There are two payments made throughout the process:
1. Session Fee
$295+HST
Reserves your spot in the books
Studio fee and/or travel fees
Photographing the session

Delivering your online gallery
2. Purchase Photos
Once you see your photos, you can choose the collection that feels right for you - 10 photos, 20 photos, or the whole gallery.
10 for $169+HST
20 for $195+HST
All Photos (typically 35-50 edited photos) for $249+HST
This pricing system allows me to serve all my clients - the ones who want every single image (because the kids were adorable and how do you even choose??) and the clients who prefer a more budget-friendly option and just want their favourite 10 photos to remember this stage of life.
You get control, clarity, and zero surprises. Just pick what you love!

General

Absolutely - I love including your fur family! For outdoor sessions, I find it helpful to bring a friend or family member as a 'handler' to help with holding your dog during the photos they aren’t in. They are also welcome in studio sessions at Wildfield Studio or Park Hill Studio because they are pet-friendly.
