FAQ

What types of photography services do you offer?

I offer a wide range of photography services, including Graduation, Portraiture for Families and Couples, Branding photography and more. I specialize in capturing meaningful moments and creating stunning visual stories that are authentically unique. Later into 2026 I will be offering packages for Micro Weddings as well.

How do I book a session with you?

Booking a session is easy. Simply reach out to me through my contact page, after our initial conversation a questionnaire will be emailed to curate your session down to the finest detail, this will let me know your vision for your shoot. After session details are ironed out i will guide you through the process of planning outfits, discuss your any other requirements you may need, and find a convenient date and time for your session.

Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?

Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, i am open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you.

How long does a typical photo session last?

The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project. Portrait sessions typically range from 1 to 2 hours, while events and weddings can span several hours. I always try to leave some wiggle room to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required, that being said within the first 5 to 8 days after your session a Sneak Peak will be delivered, so make sure to keep an eye on your email!

Can I print my photos anywhere?

Yes! Your gallery includes personal download and printing rights so you can either print at your favorite shop, or use the built in printing feature attached to your gallery. What’s not included is advertising, resale or commercial purposes, that requires a separate license.

What if the weather isn’t cooperating?

Safety is of up most importances, if the weather isn’t favorable for an outdoor or to treacherous for traveling to your indoor session we’ll simply reschedule! However the rain can make for a romantic experience.

Storytelling & PORTRAITURE  

“ photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” - Dorothea Lange


hi, im Vanessa,

I’m a Southwestern Ontario photographer based in Chatham. My love for photography started at a young age with landscapes, but over time i began to feel that something was missing. My landscapes portraits always felt empty, and that need for change is what inspired me to start Vanessa In Focus. My main purpose is to blend the rugged beauty of Ontario with the tender moments between my subjects.
