Celebration of Life
You Don't Have to Know What to Say
You don't need to come to me knowing exactly what you want or even what you want it to say.
Just come tell me about them.
Tell me about the things they loved, the places they went and the little stories everyone remembers. We'll use their photographs, stories and those little details to create something that feels like them.
You bring me their story. I'll help you tell it.
Why I Offer This
After losing both of my parents, I realized just how important photographs and stories become. They're part of how we remember someone and the life they lived.
I've been photographing families in Miramichi for over 20 years, and I wanted to offer something that could make this part a little easier for families.
Whether you come to me with everything planned out or you're not quite sure where to start, I'll work with you one-on-one to create something meaningful for your family.
A Portrait for Later
It might feel a little strange to plan ahead, but I've had many people tell me, “This will probably be my funeral photo.” And there's actually something really nice about choosing that photograph for yourself.
We'll create a simple, flattering portrait that looks like you, something your family can use for an obituary, funeral or celebration of life when the time comes.
$25 Booking Fee
After your session, we'll view the images together and you can choose exactly what you'd like to purchase.
Digital images: $25 each
Prints are also available.
