"We had headshots and a modelling portfolio done by Genevieve. She was very easy to work with, made my son feel comfortable and had a great grasp of what was needed. Then she went over and above! We are thrilled with the results and will now use Genevieve for every project that comes up."Kate Smith
"4 years ago my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and Gen offered to do a family photoshoot for us. We had the most wonderful day and Gen was amazing. She was so flexible and great at directing us to get some amazing shots. My Dad was howling with laughter and we all had so much fun. Dad was hospitalized later that week and Gen made sure she got the photos edited and printed so my Dad could enjoy them before he passed away. She even came and delivered the photos to the hospital for us since we were very busy caring for Dad. Those photos are some of my most cherished memories."Garth Hellgar
"Genevieve helped us again 2 years later when I was getting married during the pandemic. Even with all the difficulties that came along with the rules and restrictions she still managed to come through for us to document our special day. I am so grateful for Genevieve. She has such an amazingly big heart and a passion for photography. The photos she has done for us really capture the spirit of my family and some of the most important moments of my life."Garth Hellgar
"I would definitely recommend Genevieve to do any kind of photo shoot for you. She recently did my baby announcement pictures and they turned out incredible! This was my first ever photo shoot and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and come up with some great shots and great ideas when I had no clue what I really wanted. Not only did we get some photos to treasure forever but we got a fun, easy going and professional experience that will always be memorable. I will be going back for her to do photos in the future and I can't wait!"Cassie Nelson
"She was so amazing with my soon to be 1 year old at the time and was very patient with us all. She listened to my ideas and applied them. I can't wait to get more pictures done with my family! So so so PATIENT AND KIND! The pictures turned out better then I could've imagined!!"Karlissa Thirdd
I adore all children and know how to build relationships with them to help them feel comfortable in front of my camera.
I'll work with you to design a session that works for your child (or children!) and gets you the beautiful memories you're looking for.
Nothing is out of the ordinary for me—I've seen it all!
Your family is unique and deserves to be celebrated!
I'm an inclusive photographer that believes all people belong, all people are beautiful, and love is love. And yes, pets are welcome!
I'll capture your group, in all its wonderful glory.
Our lives don't always go as planned, but we still want to remember.
I'll meet you where you're at—sometimes at a moment's notice and with little planning—to capture memories for you.
I've photographed people in hospitals or palliative care, stillbirths, and funerals.
I'll come to you and be respectful of your situation and surroundings.
I'm Genevieve Godin, the photographer behind Spirited Shutter.
With Spirited Shutter, I've combined my love for exceptional people (all people) with my love for photography.
Life is full of twists and turns. I understand that chaotic and messy can also be beautiful. And I know how important it is to preserve precious moments.
I've worked with many individuals who have autism, and people with developmental issues and anxiety. I understand the many challenges that come with participating in a photo session—sometimes just getting out the door is the hardest part! If your situation is difficult, or you need a specific environment or accommodation, no problem.
I'll work with you to do everything we can to make sure your session goes smoothly. And if it doesn't? That's okay too—we'll roll with the punches.
I enjoy a good challenge, am willing to try anything, and I'll bring out your best.












These are my standard packages but I'd be happy to provide pricing for sessions that don't fit the norm
Additional hours: $250 per session hour, includes an additional 15 photos
Additional photos: $25 per photo, or $100 for 5 photos
People often require specific location accommodations or have difficulty transitioning from one location to another. I suggest locations suitable for the people I'm working with and can come to you if that's easiest.
Absolutely – I love to travel! I do charge $50 per travel hour for locations outside of London, Ontario, in addition to any travel expenses (which I'll research and have you approve in advance).
There's no limit to the number of people you can include in your group session but please realize the more people you include, the more complicated the shoot becomes. A larger group will most likely require more coordination time (vs. photography time) so you might want to extend the length of the photo session to account for this.
The number of high resolution print quality digital photos you'll receive varies with the package you purchase (please refer to the Prices section of the website to see what's included in each package). I'll share all photographer-approved photos with you in an online proof gallery and you'll select the photos you'd like included in your package. If you'd like additional high resolution print quality digital photos, these can be purchased for $25 / photo or $100 / 5 photos. For events, all photographer-approved photos are shared with you as high resolution print quality digital photos on a USB flash drive.
First and foremost, make sure you're comfortable – If you're uncomfortable, this will show in the photos. After comfort, I suggest wearing clothing in solid colours, and avoid patterns (eg. checks, stripes) if you can.
You might want to consider bringing water and snacks (clean snacks) to keep everyone happy. If you'd like to include specific items in your photos, bring those along too!
Yes, each additional hour is $250 and includes 15 additional high resolution print quality digital photos.
Yes, all photographer-approved photos will be individually edited for composition, white balance, exposure, contrast, and colour prior to being shared with you. But please don't worry, we won't over-edit – our intent is for the photos to look as natural and true to life as possible.
I'll edit and send out your photos as quickly as possible after the photo session. Believe it or not, I'm as excited to see them as you are! On average, it takes about a week to get photos delivered to you.
Yes! I'd be happy to provide you with pricing for getting your digital photos printed. Please contact me for more information.
After the photo shoot, your photos will be backed up on a physical hard drive and also on a cloud server. While I'd love to keep digital copies of your photos forever, I can't guarantee this will be the case. Once I deliver them to you, storage of the photos becomes your responsibility so please ensure you've also stored them in multiple places.
In Canada, we dress in layers! Or we move indoors if needed! But if we really can't make a photo session work due to weather, we can rebook your session.
You'll pay a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure your session date. The balance will be due the date of the session.
Please send me your question and I'll answer asap!
