Why this isn’t “just another mini session”
You can get “quick and cheap” photos anywhere.
This is different.
Our Limited Edition Holiday Portrait Experience is designed for people who:
-
Want elegant, elevated holiday portraits — not cheesy mall backdrops
-
Are tired of stiff group shots and want portraits that feel warm, real, and emotionally true
-
Want to gift something meaningful: a framed portrait, a gift print for parents, or a timeless keepsake for your home
-
Prefer a private, calm, boutique studio instead of rushed lineups and chaos
For 11+ years, I have specialized in photographing real people with care, artistry, and intention. This Black Friday offer is your chance to experience that level of service at a special, limited-time price.
ONE DAY YOUR FAMILY WILL LOOK FOR MEMORIES
What will they find?
Now that I have my own child and family, I find myself going through old photographs trying to find the memories of how we were as children and what our parents looked like.
You know you have done the same and you know the value of portraits when you find that rare, beautiful photograph of your parents and grandparents.
It’s time you give the same gift to your family.

Najia
MOM OF THREE / ★★★★★"Thanks Alishba for the awesome session you have done for our family. You made us all feel so comfortable and got the best shots out of us especially my son who has autism. We all had a great time with you and there is not a single image that we don't like. Thank you again and we can't wait to put up the enlarged canvas print!"
Miss A
/ ★★★★★“My experience was absolutely amazing, Alishba was able to take my vague ideas and turn them into a complete work of art! Her talent, kindness and compassion were so present in my session with her. My hair and makeup was so beautiful and simplistic. I was still able to ‘look like me’ while capturing my inner and outer beauty. My time with Alishba and her team will be one I cherish as a strong motivation for self confidence, inner strength and self love. I love everything about the picture, even down to my freckles! I cannot thank you enough, this entire day and the work you have captured is absolutely incredible!”
Book your BLACK FRIDAY HOLIDAY SESSION
Why This Black Friday Offer Is So Limited
To protect the quality of the artwork and experience, we are only opening a small number of sessions for this Black Friday release.
That means:
-
Once the time slots are filled, no more can be added.
-
The $199 + HST + fine art print combo will not be repeated at this level.
-
This is a one-time, seasonal offer.
If you’re seeing this page, it means there are still a few spots left — but they may not be available for long.
