Welcome!

Thank you so much for being here! I am so deeply grateful that you are interested in having me along for the ride as you invest in an opportunity to celebrate yourself and this season of your life. When I asked a recent client about what inspired her to invest in a portrait session, she responded with some beautiful words:

“I love exploring myself through photography. We all change so much throughout life‘s seasons; I find that creating imagery provides me with a meaningful way to collect feelings and moments for future reflection.”

I hold a strong belief that it is important to document ourselves in all phases of our life. I have a dear friend who sets aside time at the beginning of every month to take a meaningful self portrait, and I think that’s so powerful. To create a visual diary through which you can watch yourself grow and change: it is a form of self love. And you deserve love!

This is about you, your story and your soul.

Rupi Kaur recently released a beautiful poem that perfectly encapsulates exactly why it is so valuable to take time to document yourself in both the big and little moments:

I will never have

this version of me again

let me slow down

and be with her

We are always evolving. Let’s work together to create art that celebrates you exactly as you are in this moment. Because you really are perfect just as you are, and I’m here to help you see that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based?

I am currently based in Aachen, Germany; however, I also spend parts of the year in Halifax, Canada. My current travel dates can be viewed here; if your desired date falls a little bit outside these dates, don’t stress! Just let me know! If your booking is made far enough in advance, there’s a super high chance my travel dates are still flexible.

How does booking and payment work?

When you book me, upon signing the contract, you are required to pay the booking deposit/retainer. Your date is then secure! The only way to secure a date is to pay a deposit and sign a contract. To keep things simple, travel fees are included in the grand total outline in your session contract. Once the deposit is paid, the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to the session date.

Do you have backup gear?

Yes, absolutely! Your images are also backed up to multiple hard drives to keep them safe.

How are the images delivered?

Your images are delivered to you in an online gallery, with both high-resolution and low-resolution jpegs available for download and printing.

When are the images delivered?

Your sneak peek images are delivered first, in gallery format. These are delivered within the first week or two following your session. Your final online gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks following your session.

What’s next?

Take some time to think about what type of session would best suit your needs. I’m happy to chat about it with you if you’re unsure! Once you’ve made your decision, send me an email at hello@sydneymaclennan.com so we can find a date. Once we have a date, I’ll send you the contract to make it official! Then the fun really begins!
