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!!~

Maureen from MODECOR! ~ Ottawa Headshots

Posted on by

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a fun, hilarious, not to mention amazingly talented Interior Decorator from here in Ottawa – Maureen from MODECOR! It was a pretty hot and muggy evening last night and we were both sweating so much by the end of our session. But I definitely think we came away with some great results!! Here are a couple of my favorites from last night’s session!

Boys, boys, boys! ~ Ottawa Children’s Photographer

Posted on by

Don’t let these puppy dog eyes fool you!! He may be cute, but since he’s mine, I can tell you…the cuteness is the ONLY thing that saves his butt most days! :-)

I’ve been saying for several weeks that I’ve wanted to get out and take some photos of my son but with the busyness of Summer, its taken the back burner. Yesterday the weather was perfect though, so we finally went out and did a few…and I’m so glad we did! Everything turned out perfectly! The outfit I had chosen for him tied in with the location perfectly, and the location itself was the best possible place for his session to happen. He is a city boy through and through (much like ME! LOL) so we had to go somewhere urban. And I LOVE Graffiti so this was perfect!

Looking at these pictures while editing them I couldn’t believe how much this boy has changed in the one year we’ve been his parents. He’s almost unrecognizable! I’m not going to lie….adopting an older child has NOT been an easy road by any stretch of the imagination. Those who know me personally know that I have spent many sleepless nights wondering if this was how our life was meant to be and whether or not we’ve made a good decision for our family. Because as many people blindly believe – love makes everything easy and can ‘fix’ all problems in adoption. And I’ll tell you honestly, sometimes that’s not the case. We’ve had two EXTREMELY different experiences with our adoptions. Each have been a joy at times, and each have been hell at times (LOL!) but in the end this is what life has brought us. We may not have taken the ‘easy road’ when it came to adopting an older child, but in the end we know that the issues we have faced can only make us stronger parents, and a stronger family.

He’ll be starting Hip Hop dance classes in the Fall. I’m not sure the world is ready for this boy’s wild dance moves. LOL!
