Meet the MBDW Family | Barrhaven Photographer

This session is a little more sentimental to me because these lovely people are part of the family I married into and I am proud to consider them my own. I am especially honoured that they chose me to capture these important moments. We took advantage of the gorgeous fall season this year and adventured through Hogs Back Falls to

Newborn Baby Romy – 2 weeks new

Baby Romy came to visit the portrait studio for her newborn photography session at 2 weeks new, 16 days new to be exact. We were able to get her into three different setups for her petite newborn session because she slept the entire time (in a diaper that she filled as soon as I had wrapped her up, go figure!). And

Meet the McKellar Haynes Family | Barrhaven Photographer

I was introduced to this lovely family by a dear friend of mine, and I am so happy she did! I had a blast working with these three, and even though their little guy really made me work for those smiles, I was smiling the entire time. Acting like a blubbering fool has its perks! This location is a go-to

Newborn Baby Aleena – 3 weeks new

Baby Aleena came to visit the portrait studio for her newborn photography session at 3 weeks new, exactly at 21 days.

Thankfully, I have exactly the perfect solution for them that simply goes by a different name: “The Petite”. Let me explain. Mini Sessions Mini sessions are great for

Now Booking Roadside Sessions for 2021 | Ottawa Family Photographer

What is a Roadside Session? A roadside session is exactly what it sounds like: a short & sweet photo session just off the main road. I can’t tell you how many times I have driven past beautiful scenery that would look amazing as the background for a family photo, but could not justify having a full session there (full sessions

Meet the Jenkinson Family | Ottawa Photographer

Most families who choose me to capture their family photos have no idea where they want them taken, just that they want something beautiful, and maybe they have a few preferences like neutrals-only or fall colours or near water. Ironically, this session took place at a park that had all three of those things, and the reason I bring it

Meet the Dionne Family | Orleans Photographer

When a family chooses you over and over to capture their portraits, it is the biggest compliment a photographer can receive, and for that I am forever grateful. It has been a genuinely fun and enjoyable experience working with this trio for over a year now, and to capture their special journey through parenthood. We adventured through the Mer Bleu

Baby Marie-Krystel – 3 weeks new | Outdoor Newborn Photos

Little miss Marie-Krystel came to visit the outdoor studio for her wrapped-baby newborn photography session at just under 3 weeks new.  I was very pleased that the weather cooperated for us this spring, because with the studio being closed during the pandemic, outdoor sessions have been our only option for a while. For a newborn session to take place, it has
