A great big happy family! ~ Ottawa Family Photographer

Posted on by

This lovely Family contacted me back in July to book a session in celebration of their parents (the kiddo’s grandparent’s) 40th wedding anniversary. And of course I was excited to capture some special memories for them at this exciting time! I mean, its not every day that you hear about people celebrating 40th wedding anniversaries! Definitely a perfect opportunity to update the family photos!

The weather this past weekend, unfortunately, wasn’t on our side. So this session was shot at two separate times – Saturday evening and Sunday morning. For the location, they chose a park that has special meaning to them. Cathy and Nicole (the two sisters) both decided they wanted to live in this area and raise their families to be close with each other. So with 6 adults and 4 children, we all met down at Brantwood park in Old Ottawa East and captured a few group shots as well as some candids of the kids just having a good time at the play structures. I’m not gonna lie…these 4 little cuties gave me a run for my money! But I did manage to get some lovely shots of each of them, some shots of the individual families as well a couple of great group shots of everyone.

Thank you SO much for choosing me to capture these memories for your families! And a BIG happy 40th wedding anniversary to Paul and Millie!

P.S. You’ll notice that a few of my more recent blog posts are getting longer…and that I’m blogging MORE images. The reason is simple – it’s cause I just really love blogging. ;) And I especially love being able to showcase to my prospective clients more of what a whole session looks like so that they have a better idea of what they can expect. So what you’ll likely start seeing won’t be entire sessions, but usually just a larger number of my own personal favorites from each. :)

P.P.S. I only have a handful of session dates left for Fall 2011 sessions!! If you had been thinking about booking a session for your family, please contact me sooner rather than later to reserve your date!

Mike, Robin and sweet Mayanne ~ Ottawa Family Photographers

Posted on by

This past weekend I had such a fun time with this sweet family. In some of our initial conversations Robin had told me that she loved the Fall, and wanted a location that was “simple but compelling” for her family photos. So I jumped at the opportunity to suggest that we do our session at a local apple orchard…and I was thrilled that they were up for it! So we met down at Mountain Apple Orchard and had some fun. The unfortunate part is that due to a hail storm that was experienced here in August, most of the apples were damaged and what was left was almost completely picked through or was no longer on the trees. So we couldn’t do a whole lot of picking. THANKFULLY though, the orchard itself has tons of beautiful property and green space and I was able to capture some fun, natural moments with this family. Little Mayanne was just awesome too. Just a genuinely sweet, inquisitive, free-spirited little girl. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with them!

Thank you SO much for choosing me to document your family Mike, Robin and Mayanne! I’m so pleased with how your images show that beautiful connection you share with your daughter – Enjoy!

Finding the Beauty ~ Ottawa Photographers

Posted on by

After my first Junking expedition with my friend Christine back in April of this year, I’ve had a hankering to go back in the worst way. Not necessarily to buy anything. But to just be there. Amongst the beautiful treasures, snapping away, being totally in my element. The inspiration that places like these hold for me isn’t easily put into words. I could spend hours upon hours just imagining, just creating, just reveling in the beauty. So this past weekend I brought my Mother in Law with me and hit up the junk yards once again. The best part? I saw things in a completely different way than I did before. I’m not sure it was that any of the junk itself had changed. But as I grow as a person and as a photographer, I’m learning to see things differently. I’m learning to see beauty in new ways.

Next time I won’t wait so long to go back. I will make the time in my schedule to do it for me. :)

Ottawa Business Headshots ~ Kim

Posted on by

I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with Kim of Kim Larocque Virtual Assistant Service to do some headshots for her business! Kim is not only super gorgeous and SO photogenic (as you’ll see below), but she is also very sweet, personable and no doubt a phenomenal person to work with professionally. If you are a business owner who needs a helping hand, I’d definitely suggest taking a look at some of the services that Kim offers!

Here are a few of my own personal favorites from our session! It was a pleasure meeting you – Thanks so much Kim!

**If you are a professional or entrepreneur in the Ottawa area and are looking for modern headshots, I’d love to hear from you! There are a limited number of spaces available for Fall 2011 so please book early to avoid disappointment!**

First Day of School! ~ Ottawa Childrens Photographer

Posted on by

Its 5:50am and as usual I am awoken by the sound of two chubby little feet running down the hall to our room. My eyes are barely open when I see her mass of tangled ponytail land on the pillow next to me. “Baby girl, today is your first day of school…” and her eyes light up. She really has been looking forward to this for a long time. There were no arguments getting her dressed this morning, no troubles getting her to sit and eat her breakfast either. Today she was a big girl. And Mama was just going to have to face the fact that her baby really is.

We walked into the class room and she hung her bag up on her assigned hook. She took out her lunch bag, her indoor shoes and proceeded to put them on. Her smile was one of the biggest I had ever seen. She was so proud. And I was proud of her. As I got ready to leave the classroom she pulled me down and whispered softly “Its okay Mama, you’ll always be my Mama“. I fought back tears, just as I am fighting them back typing this. I’m not sure where she found it in her to say that to me. But that’s one of the things I admire about her. She often knows the right things to say at the right times. Somewhere inside of me I do think there is a fear that my influence as her Mama will be replaced by that of her teachers and school mates. I’ve never shared this fear with her for obvious reasons. I think she must have sensed it anyway.

My sweet baby girl. You have so many people in this world who know that there are big, BIG things in store for you. Every single day I am grateful and proud to be Mama to such a smart, funny, caring, confident and beautiful little princess. Today you get to share these wonderful qualities with the rest of the world. For that I am so happy. I can’t wait to see your heart sing.
