It’s SPRING! ~ Ottawa Photographer

Posted on by

First of all – I know I’m a bad blogger! I’ve been so wrapped up in all of the excitement of Spring that I’ve completely forgotten to update the blog! Spring is an exciting time for me and my business. Its when the weather is nice and when most Ottawa folks tend to want to book family photos. This means its ‘brain storming’ season for me! Its when my brain goes into over-drive with all kinds of ideas and thoughts about upcoming sessions and sessions yet to be booked! In fact, I bought a new journal last week specifically for this reason. I want to be able to record my ideas, make prop lists etc. so that I’ll have something to refer back to through out the Spring, Summer and Fall. Looking forward to seeing some (if not all!) of those visions coming to life! And of course, sharing them all with you here!

To update everyone on my availability, I am currently booked through the month of May this year (wowzers!) and am now taking bookings for June and beyond (book NOW to reserve your Spring/Summer date!). May will be a busy month for me with the Graffiti Wall Mini Sessions (which I am SO EXCITED for!), a couple of regular sessions, as well as my daughter’s 4th birthday and a visit from a friend and fellow photographer Jen from Naturally Beautiful Photography in Brampton, Ontario! I imagine the blog will be hoppin’ in the coming weeks/months!

As for what we’ve been up to…we’re just enjoying the beauty of Spring! Spring is SO refreshing for me. I seem to just slump through winter every year. I dislike it more than almost anything. So when the sun finally starts to shine again, I’m THRILLED! The other day I took my girl to the park for a walk. She’s very much into collecting things at the moment. Rocks, sticks, pine cones – basically whatever she can find that will fit into her pocket and into a little box she keeps on her dresser. She calls this her “Beelection”. She can’t actually say the word Collection properly. And that’s perfectly fine with me. My baby is starting school in 6 short months…so I’m savoring the last little bits of baby-ness before they are gone forever.

I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful spring weather as much as we are! I’d love to hear how you and your family are making the most of it!

Snow & Snuggles ~ Ottawa Child Photographers

Posted on by

We got a whole ton of snow on Monday. I really wanted to get outside and get some fun snowy images of my girl (my son insisted he go to school despite the buses being canceled!) but it just wasn’t going to happen. She wanted no part of it. Instead, she made the firm request that we go to bed, snuggle and read. And how could I argue with that? So up we went with a pile of books…and my camera of course. :)

If truth be told, I am SO ready for winter to be over. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed it and had a blast with my kids this year. And I LOVE sessions with clients in the winter. But yeah…I’m dying for some warm summery sunshine. I’m dying to wear sandals and I’m dying to enjoy barbecued dinners in the back yard again with my family. Who’s with me?!

In the mean time, I’m trying to narrow down which of these I want to have done on a LARGE canvas (or two?) for my home. It’ll be one (or two?) of the last 3 for sure. Would love to hear your input in the comments section!!~

Ten Days ~ Ottawa Photography

Posted on by

Next Wednesday I will be taking a trip without my children and husband, to the African country of Ethiopia. I’ve been planning this trip for more than a year now, but it was one of those things that seemed so far away for so long that I didn’t really clue in how close the trip was until about a week ago. Ten days is how long I’ll be gone. Ten days away from my home, my doggies, away from my husband, my son and my sweet Princess. She is the one I will think most about on this trip. Her sweet, gentle, emotional self who I know will ask about me several times a day and wonder where her story-reader, peanut butter-and-jelly-maker, toe-nail polisher, bed tucker-inner is. But she is the reason I am taking this trip. The information and experiences I will gain on this journey will be so valuable to her throughout her life, and I feel so honored and grateful that I am able to give this gift to her.

After much debate, I have decided that I will be bringing my 5D Mark II camera (yes, the same giant camera you see my lugging around at our sessions!). The real reason for this trip is not specifically to take photos, however, I hope, and will definitely be seeking out lots of opportunities to take some to bring back and share here!! I will be away from the office (with limited to no internet access) from January 11th to the 24th inclusive. So if you need to reach me to book a session or for any other reason, send me an email and I will reply when I return! I’ll be looking forward to finally getting back into the swing of things for 2011!! I know it’s going to be an amazing year!!

Rainy Tuesday ~ Ottawa Children’s Photographer

Posted on by

Today was a yucky, rainy day in Ottawa. So yucky in fact that my girl and I didn’t even leave the house. We made some sushi, watched some movies, and in between I even managed to get some work done! So yucky weather aside – it was actually a pretty great day!

As she sat and watched her movie this afternoon, I noticed that the light from our big living room window looked so beautiful on her face. So I grabbed my camera! Lately I’ve been thinking that  haven’t been spending enough time capturing my kids in some of their spontaneous moments.  Its these little moments that I cherish most about my kids – yet they are the moments that I haven’t captured nearly enough of! I’m not the Mom (or I TRY not to be the Mom) who always lets her kids watch tons of TV. I love when she sits quietly for a movie though. Time and time again I catch myself sitting and staring at her in total amazement. I am one lucky Mama!!!
