Montreal Family Photographer for Everyday Memories
As a parent, you often want to take photos because your child is changing too quickly, and you want to remember their little feet, their toothless smile, their little mischiefs…
It goes beyond that.
Family photos will last for generations.
Do you remember the photos of your grandmother when she was a child? Just imagine how many years they have been around. They are still an invaluable treasure for you and your child… 🤩
So, as a Montreal family photographer since 2011, I want to provide you memories for today, but especially for tomorrow.
My human approach to family photography
How pride I am when I capture a child’s first steps!
This photo will be a hit in their album and in their adult life. Seeing their parents with their faces in their thirties, witnessing their pride in taking their very first steps…
This photo is real life. No tricks. My photos make sense, they are authentic and represent your family at this moment in your life.
AURORE, YOUR WORK IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT! OUR DAUGHTERS LOOK GORGEOUS, AND THEIR complicity IS SO BEAUTIFULLY HIGHLIGHTED. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR LISTENING, PATIENCE, AND KINDNESS... THE RESULT IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT. THANK YOU... THANK YOU... THANK YOU!!! MEMORIES ARE SO PRECIOUS!
My artistic vision as a Montreal family photographer is:
❤️ A snapshot of your life today
Your photos will reflect this moment in your family’s life so that in 20 years, your child can still remember the kitchen wallpaper or the hair of their parents.
💛 Simple and authentic poses.
No quirky poses, I will capture the moments you experience in all simplicity. With natural colors, tangible emotions, and real moments. We won’t have a perfect pose (or only one at the beginning of the session if you really want some).
💛 Real locations that make sense
The places we choose for your session will make sense in your family life and will be associated with real memories. I won’t take studio-style photos of your family (unless it’s furnished like an apartment and we don’t have any other option).
❤️ Playing to better forget the camera
What if the secret for both adults and children to be authentic in their family photos was to make you play instead of taking pictures? To capture the expression of your child that brightens your eyes every day.
❤️ No retouching, just reality
I sort and post-process the photos I give you. However, this involves only cropping, contrast adjustments, and color correction. I don’t manipulate the pixels of the photo; I don’t want to cheat.
💛 Creating your family heritage
To help bring your photos to life, I offer high-quality prints for you to hang on your walls or beautiful albums that will last for decades.
I AM IMPRESSED BY HOW YOU MANAGED TO CHANNEL THE CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM INTERESTED all along THE SESSION. WELL DONE!! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK!
TOGETHER, WE WILL BUILD YOUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHIC HERITAGE
You will finally be in your photos with your whole family
Remember those childhood moments captured over the years by your parents with their old film camera? It’s amusing to come across those photos, but one of the two parents is often missing, don’t you think?
As a family photographer in Montreal, I promise you an experience where you will finally be in your family photos 🤸.
I offer you more than just a photo session; it’s a quality moment shared together.
Bringing your family photos to life beyond the digital
In addition to your everyday photos taken with your smartphone, you can have a family photo session every year. The advantage of professional photos is that they won’t just sit in the computer: they will live on your walls, in albums, and become your family heritage.
If you want printed photos or a family album made in Canada, it’s possible. And I offer you a whole service. You don’t have to handle the layout or the order, I take care of everything.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU AGAIN!! YOU ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL! WE NEVER HAD SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORK, EVEN DURING THE WEDDINGS OF OUR 4 CHILDREN. I CAN'T WAIT TO ASK YOU TO COME BACK FOR OUR NEXT FAMILY meeting.
Family Specialist Photographer for 13 years
I discovered photography in 2009 and turned it into my profession in 2011.
Thanks to this big experience as a Montreal family photographer, I’ve learned to:
- adapt to all lights and environments
- recognize what will look good and what may not
- capture diverse photos from various angles
- be patient with children and play with them
- build connections with parents as I take care of their children
FAMILY LIFESTYLE PHOTO VS DOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
I offer 2 types of family photography: lifestyle family photography and documentary family photography.
The choice is yours. It will depend on whether you want photos where your family will be enhanced / a slightly more directed improved version, or if you want to see it as it is, with the small details of everyday life.
Most of the photos on the page you are reading are lifestyle photos, meaning that I interfered to achieve this result. In documentary family photography, I do not interfere, I do not give advice.

Hi ! I'm Aurore, family photographer in Montreal.
For me, family is like friends who will never leave you.
I love my friends from the deapest of my heart; they are the family I’ve chosen. But the difference is that with my family, we know each other differently, and even if we don’t always agree, there’s always this very strong bond that connects us.
This strong bond means that even if we have disagreements, we’ll be there for each other in times of difficulty. To listen, to support, to love.
I have a lot of siblings. We’re a big family. We love each other very much, even if we don’t always show or tell it.
But since I’ve been living in Canada, I’ve realized that the moments we spend together are truly quality moments. We appreciate them even more because they are rare.
It’s this strong and yet inexplicable bond that I want to capture in my photos. The “I love you, I hate you” that connects siblings, from childhood to adulthood.

How does a family photo session with me work?
Before the session
1. Email exchanges or discovery call
We’ll discuss how I work, I’ll send you various options for your family session, you can ask any final questions you may have, and feel free to give me a call if you need more information to make your decision.
Let’s coordinate and find a suitable date for your session based on our common availabilities.
2. You book the package of your choice
Thanks to the booking link, you can independently choose the package that suits you best. I require a 50% deposit to secure the date for your session in my calendar. While the deposit is non-refundable, rescheduling the photo session is hassle-free; I’m quite flexible on that.
3. Call to prepare for the photo session
This meeting will give us a chance to get to know each other better, and for you to feel more comfortable on the day of the photo session. It’s also the perfect time to discuss the outfits you might want to wear and decide on the location for the photos.
on The session day
1. The d-day
I’ll meet you at the agreed-upon meeting point. We’ll take a little walk to explore the area, and as soon as I find a spot that inspires me, we’ll stop and start taking photos.
For family documentary sessions at home, I usually arrive the day before to capture small details like the children’s breakfast. It adds a personal touch to the overall story. Looking forward to capturing these moments with you!
2. When I get back home
When I get back home after the session, I immediately transfer the memory cards to my computer, taking care to create two backups (minimum) on different devices. The goal is to eliminate any risk of losing your precious photos – they’re valuable to both of us.
A few days later, allowing me to revisit your session with a fresh perspective, I sort through and process your photos. This is where I add my personal touch, enhancing colors and ensuring a natural look without any Photoshop alterations. 😊
After the session
1. I deliver your gallery
Once I’ve finished processing your photos, I’ll deliver your private gallery promptly. And of course, I’m eager to hear your immediate thoughts on the photos! 🤩
2. You download your photos
You can independently download your photos based on the quantity included in your chosen package.
At this point, you’ll have the opportunity to decide if you’d like more photos or if you want to add extra printed products. The choice is yours!

DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER WORK IN MONTREAL?
Can we pay in installments?
Typically, I suggest a two-payment plan: an initial payment to secure the date and the second payment, at the latest, on the day of the session.
If you need to spread the payments out further, we can discuss it together.
For packages that include multiple sessions, payments are divided without additional charges: an initial payment upon reservation, followed by equal payments for each session.
Where does the session take place ?
There are plenty of possibilities! We can have the session at your home, in the family nest, or choose another location, whether indoors or outdoors.
Outdoor locations work well for both lifestyle and family documentary styles, while indoor settings are more suitable for the authentic, unposed moments of family life captured in a documentary style. What do you think would best suit your vision for the session?
What is the difference between a lifestyle family session and a family documentary session?
With the lifestyle session, I’ll prompt things a bit to capture genuine expressions and, most importantly, joy from your family.
In the family documentary, I won’t prompt anything; I’ll capture what naturally unfolds: tears, genuine parent-child play moments, and everyday details like mealtime.
How long does a family photo session typically last?
The duration varies depending on the package you choose. For an outdoor lifestyle session, it’s typically around 2 hours. For a documentary coverage of your family at home (or elsewhere during your activities), the recommended duration is a minimum of 4 hours.
Is it possible to include our pets in the photo session?
Of course! To me, they’re part of the family and integral to the memories your children will cherish throughout their lives.
What is the timeframe for receiving the photos after the family session?
Typically, I deliver a session within 3 to 4 weeks. If there are any delays beyond that, I will certainly keep you informed. And if I happen to deliver them sooner, well, that would be a delightful surprise! 🤩
What guarantees are in place in case of technical issues or unforeseen events during the photo session?
If we encounter a technical issue during the session, we’ll reschedule.
If, before the session, either you or I cannot participate for reasons beyond our control (such as illness), we’ll reschedule.
If the chosen location doesn’t match our expectations or we feel it won’t work, we’ll change the location.
For anything else, we can discuss it case by case. 🙃
Do you also offer photo albums?
Yes, absolutely. And they are made in Canada! You can choose to add an album either when you book your session or whenever you want.
What happens if it rains on the day of the session?
Usually, for an outdoor session, we reschedule for a day without rain.
Alternatively, we can have a backup plan and do the session indoors if rescheduling isn’t possible.
Or, if your family is up for it, we can still take photos outside and have fun in the rain. We turn it into our ally, not our enemy! 🤩
How far are you willing to travel for a family session?
My travel is included within a 20km radius from my location in Montreal. Beyond that, additional travel fees may apply for your session.
If you’re quite far from Montreal (more than 2 hours), ideally, I wouldn’t travel for a single 2-hour session. It could either be for a documentary coverage of 4 hours or more, or you can discuss with your friends, and if they also want a session, I can make the trip and do several sessions.
The goal is to optimize my time and travel, also reducing my carbon footprint.
Can we bring the grandparents or our children's cousins to the session?
Yes, absolutely. It’s just that the session may be a bit more structured as we’ll have less time focused on your immediate family bubble.
So, shall we plan this family photo session?
I travel anywhere in Canada, with or without additional charges depending on the location and my travel schedule, primarily within a 2-hour radius of Montreal.
For Europe, I frequently visit Lille and Avignon (France). Travel expenses will be billed starting from these two cities and during the periods when I am there.
