Birthday Photography Packages for Markham Clients
These are our current individual portrait packages, with prices in Canadian dollars. Choose by session length, setting and the number of finished photographs you need.
| Package | Included |
|---|---|
| Mini — $189 | 30 minutes; 5 edited photos |
| Outdoor — $200 | 1 hour; 7 edited photos |
| Studio — $259 | 1 hour; 7 edited photos, with colour and black-and-white versions |
Outdoor and studio packages allow two outfit changes and include posing guidance. Additional time is $100 per hour and extra edited photographs are $10 each. A $50 deposit secures the booking, with the balance due on the session day. Selected images are typically delivered within 3–5 business days after you choose your favourites.
Review the full birthday package inclusions and booking terms before reserving. Full party coverage, large groups, cake-smash sessions, elaborate décor and special venue requirements should be discussed separately; the $200 outdoor portrait package is not a blanket price for every birthday event. Our birthday photography cost guide explains the main pricing considerations.
Choose the Right Birthday Session
Kids and Family Birthday Photography
For children, a familiar setting and a manageable schedule matter more than a long list of poses. Plan around naps, meals and the child’s comfort. We can begin with simple portraits, include family combinations and leave room for movement and natural expressions. Tell us how many people will join so we can allow enough time. For a first birthday or cake smash, confirm the setup, cake arrangements and suitable package in advance. See our kids birthday photography guide for more preparation advice.
Adult and Milestone Birthday Portraits
A birthday portrait can be understated, colourful or fashion-inspired. Start with the mood you want rather than copying a complete setup: a clean backdrop, one statement outfit, flowers or a small balloon arrangement may be enough. We guide your posture, hands and expression throughout the shoot. If your package allows multiple looks, choose outfits that offer a genuine change in style. Browse our adult birthday photoshoot ideas for inspiration.
At-Home Sessions and Birthday Party Coverage
Home visits can work well when young children, grandparents or several family members are involved. Before booking, share the room size, available light, décor and access details. A short portrait session is different from documenting an entire party. For event coverage, send the venue, guest count and schedule, including cake cutting or speeches, so we can quote the time and deliverables appropriately.
Planning a Birthday Photoshoot Location in Markham
Choose one practical location rather than spending your session travelling between several stops. We can discuss options around Unionville, Cornell, Downtown Markham, Berczy Village and surrounding neighbourhoods based on your preferred background, walking comfort and date. A nearby home or approved venue may be more suitable than a busy landmark.
Toogood Pond and Main Street Unionville
Consider the Unionville area if you like greenery, pond views or a heritage-street setting. These are different shooting environments, so agree on a meeting point and a short route first. Check current access, path conditions and scheduled activities before committing to a backdrop. The City lists Toogood Pond and Main Street Unionville among its reserved photography locations; confirm whether your planned session needs permission through the City of Markham photography information. Do not assume every portrait session has the same permit requirements as a wedding.
Milne Dam Conservation Park
Milne Dam is an option to discuss for a park-based session, subject to seasonal access and your planned date. The City publishes operating dates, park rules and admission information on its Milne Dam Conservation Park page. Admission can apply on weekends and statutory holidays, and reserving a picnic area is separate from arranging photography. Confirm any park or booking costs before finalizing the location.
Richmond Hill Studio or an Indoor Backup
For controlled lighting and a weather-independent portrait session, our Richmond Hill studio is an alternative for Markham clients. Confirm the studio appointment and setup before travelling. For outdoor bookings, discuss a rain plan early; moving indoors or changing the date depends on availability and the applicable booking terms.
What to Prepare Before Your Session
- Outfits: choose comfortable, well-fitting clothing and coordinate colours if others will join.
- Props: tell us about cakes, balloons or flowers in advance; do not assume rentals or elaborate décor are included.
- Timing: leave time for parking and preparation. For children, prioritize a time when they are normally rested.
- Location details: share walking limitations, stairs, room size or venue restrictions before booking.
