Beautiful Haylee! ~ Ottawa Child and Family Photographers

A daughter is one of the most beautiful gifts this world has to give. ~ Laurel Atherton

And what a beautiful little thing 9 month old Haylee is!! Oh my goodness, the chubby cheeks and that smiley little face! SO adorable! And the best part – it didn’t take much to get a smile out of her! Easy peasy! Well…except for the odd cry. But really, can you blame her? Its tough work being this cute. ;-)

Thank you guys for the pleasure it was to meet you and your beautiful little girl yesterday! Here are a couple of my favorites from your session. Enjoy your Sneak Peek!!

Ottawa African Festival! ~ Ottawa Photographer

With having adopted children of African descent, our family is always on the lookout for cool things happening in and around Ottawa that allow us to celebrate the different cultures, sights, sounds and smells of Africa. Of course, we like to participate in any kind of festival, but we feel personally connected to Africa so when I heard that there was going to be an entire festival, in our own back yard, we grabbed the kids, I grabbed the camera and headed out the door!

We didn’t stay for the the entire festival. We had hoped to, but with a 3 and 5 year old, their attention spans were limited and the heat was making them cranky. We did, however, catch an AMAZING performance by the Burundi Drummers of Burundi, East Africa and WOW…I mean, WOW were they amazing!! I could have watched them dance and drum all day!! The way they moved, the beautiful music they were creating was so awesome. Needless to day, my attention, and my camera, stayed focused on them for a while!

Can’t wait to hit up the Ottawa African Festival next year. This festival is still in its infancy so I imagine it can only get better from here!

Ottawa Photographer ~ The R Family

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I have the most gorgeous clients!! Seriously! And they were such troopers! Despite the chilly wind in the air, they put up with me long enough to get a few good pictures. ;-)

Thanks so much guys! While I finish editing I wanted to post a couple of my favorites from the session as a little sneak peek!



 

SUPER COOL SPRING MINI SESSIONS!!! ~ Ottawa Photographers

So many of you have been saying over those long winter months “I REALLY need to get my butt in gear and book a session with you Danielle…“. Well my friends, the excuses are over and your chance has come!!! ITS SPRING!! The weather has been beautiful, the birds are singing in the trees, and whether you want to admit it or not, those family pictures you had done at the department store 4 years ago look dusty and horribly outdated! So why not use this opportunity to replace them!?

Some creative ideas on how to make the most of your Spring Mini Session:


~ Treat your teenage daughter or son to a photo shoot that’s all about them! Awesome for self-esteem building or even just because!

~ Surprise the heck out of your wife, husband, fiance or significant other with the long over due portrait session that you’ve been putting off!

~ Give the walls of your home a total face lift and book a session for your family! Kids grow so fast Moms and Dads! Capture it while you can!

~ How about a Mother Daughter session to capture that special relationship?

~ Have a birthday, anniversary or another big milestone coming up? Mark the occasion with custom photos!!
