Seasonal & Family Photography
Timeless Photos for the Moments That Matter Most
Family photos aren’t just for now — they’re for ten, twenty, fifty years from now. They’re the images your kids will grow up seeing on the wall. The ones that get pulled out at holidays. The ones that quietly become part of your family history.
Shot by Sheldon offers seasonal and family photography in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert, creating natural, relaxed images that feel genuine — not stiff or overly posed.
Whether it’s fall colors in the River Valley, snowy winter portraits, spring blossoms, or summer golden hour sessions, I focus on capturing connection first, perfection second.
Seasonal & Family Photography Services
Every family is different. Sessions are designed to reflect your dynamic, your energy, and your story.
​
1. Family Portrait Sessions
Classic and candid images that capture the personalities within your family.
- Immediate family or extended family sessions
- Outdoor lifestyle portraits or in-home sessions
- Guided posing that still feels natural
- A mix of group shots and individual portraits
I provide gentle direction so you never feel awkward, while still leaving room for authentic moments.
2. Seasonal Mini Sessions
Perfect for updated holiday cards or yearly keepsakes.
- Fall foliage sessions
- Winter snow portraits
- Spring blossom sessions
- Summer sunset shoots
These shorter sessions are efficient and ideal for families with young children.
​
3. Holiday-Themed Photos
Capture the warmth of the season with:
- Christmas card portraits
- Cozy indoor holiday sessions
- Tree farm or festive outdoor settings
- Styled seasonal setups
Images are delivered in time for printing and sharing.
4. Milestone Family Moments
Life moves quickly. Preserve the chapters that matter.
- Anniversaries, Celebrations, etc.
- “Just because” sessions (no special occasion required)
You don’t need a milestone to book a session — sometimes the season of life you’re in right now is reason enough.

What to Expect
Family sessions should feel relaxed, not stressful.

Natural Direction
I guide you into flattering positions, but I also capture in-between moments — laughter, movement, connection.

Each final image is carefully edited for color consistency, lighting balance, and subtle retouching where needed.
