Fortin Photography Hey, I'm Jelayne! I'm an Edmonton family and couples photographer, with a passion for capturing the beauty in everyday life. I’m most active on Instagram!

I think photos should be fun, relaxed, and affordable. Follow me there

Hi! That’s me, with a toque too small for my head and a hundred memory cards full of images I’ve never posted 😅

I’ve been wanting to come on here for a while to give an update about where I’m taking my photography business - but the truth is, I have absolutely no idea! None. Zero. Zilch. I genuinely thought I would’ve figured it out by now, being the obsessive planner I am.

Here’s the thing - I love photography, I love taking photos of my amazing clients, I love traveling and seeing the world through my viewfinder. But your girl is busy! And tired. Omg so tired.

With two little kids at home, a full time corporate job (mat leave for now), and a totally unknown future, I’m taking a little pause for now. I won’t be booking anything for 2027 (unless you have the coolest idea for a wedding the please reach out anyway!) until I feel a bit more settled.

With all that said - do you think I should keep posting? If you want to see the work of a photographer who is taking a BREAK let me know 😆

Miss you all - and I so appreciate all the messages 🤍

I love collaborating with other photographers and learning how they work & see the world! decided to stack a couple rocks for this ring shot and I absolutely LOVED it. Something I never would have thought of on my own!

How much time should you allocate to “getting ready” photos?

60-90 minutes is the sweet spot for brides!

This allows time to capture:
💍Details (dress, shoes, rings, invite, perfume, etc.)
👯‍♀️Candid moments with the girls
💄Makeup/hair touch-ups and finishing touches
👗Getting into the dress (this alone can take 15–30 minutes)
👰‍♀️A few portraits of the bride once dressed
👀First look with bridesmaids or parents (if planned)

Grooms usually only take about 30 minutes and are done before/after the bride or at the same time with a second photographer. TIP Have the groom get mostly dressed, but leave off the suit jacket, tie, cuff links and shoes.

OR skip getting ready photos altogether if it isn’t your vibe.

A favourite B&W throwback to this Calgary Zoo wedding while I rebuild my office upstairs.

Let’s just say I’m very glad I never leave my cameras on the floor!
