Why Choosing an Acreage Photo Session Changes the Entire Experience | Lamont County photographer

When it comes to family or motherhood photos, the location sets the tone. And while parks or downtown spots have their charm, there’s something incredibly special about taking your session out to the country — more specifically, to my acreage just outside of Edmonton in Lamont County.

No, it’s not a private garden (yet but my wildflower garden will be ready in August!) or a hidden forest. Most of the time, we’re just steps away from my home, on a simple dirt road or in a field. But when the sun starts to dip and golden hour rolls in? It transforms everything.

Golden Hour Just Hits Different Out Here

That rich, warm light pours over the open landscape with no buildings or city noise to distract us. It wraps around you and your little ones like honey — soft, glowing, and pure magic. It's the kind of light that makes skin glow, hair shimmer, and every photo feel like a moment straight out of a memory.

The Space to Just Be

Kids can run. You can breathe. We’re not watching the clock or dodging crowds. Out here, things feel slower — more intentional. Whether we’re chasing the last bit of sunlight or just hanging out barefoot in the grass, it gives families a chance to relax into the moment.

And that’s when the best photos happen — when no one feels rushed or self-conscious, and the connection just unfolds naturally.

Styled Without the Stress

My client closet is always available, but when you come to me, you get access to everything — not just a few pieces I pre-select and pack. You can try things on, mix and match, and find what makes you feel amazing before your session even begins. That alone can take so much stress off your shoulders.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a client light up when they find “the one” — that dress that moves just right in the breeze or that outfit that makes them feel effortlessly beautiful.

And Yes, There’s a Discount

I offer a $100 discount and 5 extra images for sessions held on my property in Lamont County. Not only does it keep things simple for both of us, but you get all the beauty of a countryside session without paying extra for a fancy location.

If you’re craving a slower-paced, golden-lit photo session that feels like a breath of fresh air — this is your sign. Come spend the evening with me on the acreage, and let’s capture something beautiful.
