family session | the tans

wedding photographer | engagement photographer | lifestyle photographer

Yesterday, I had the honour of meeting this adorable little family at Watson's Mill in Manotick. Jennifer purchased the LivingSocial deal to do a family session with husband, Mark, and little boy, Andrew. Not a minute before, Jen had told me, "he will be shy for a short while but will open up really soon as he starts to know you." After a few quiet moments of 'what is that black *clicking* square, Andrew was running up to me to see what this camera object was. This little bundle of energy and curiosity just wanted to run around and explore the entire session.

It was hard to get little giggles like this from Andrew.

Little Andrew did not want to sit still for very long!

The rocks were intriguing, so many things to put in his mouth (or not)!

Hanging upside-down with mommy definitely got some smiles out of him.

family session | the mikhaels

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to meet this adorable family. From the moment I arrived, it seemed as if the Mikhaels were just laughing and smiling at each other the whole time. Not was there one fighting moment, it seemed like all of the siblings got along really well. Although being an always-on-the-go family, I managed to squeeze out these cute photos of them all. Enjoy! Check out more of their images here.

First off, how cute is this cat?!

My favourite family shot from the session :)

I adore this shot of all of the ladies in the family!

senior session | a new chapter in my photography

wedding photographer | engagement photographer | lifestyle photographer

So I am extremely interested in trying out some high school or college\university senior sessions. It is becoming a huge fad in the United States and it is definitely a good keepsake to have. I am looking for a couple of high school or college seniors that would like a free senior portrait session in the Ottawa area. Give me a shout via e-mail and we'll talk ;) We could go to a carnival, out with your friends, or maybe just to your favourite spot by the lake. Look forward to meeting some pretty faces!

(I also wouldn't mind doing some prom photography, so if your prom is coming up and you'd like me for free - feel free to e-mail about that too!)

Here are some senior and prom photos that I absolutely would love to emulate:

family | the viau family

wedding photographer | engagement photographer | lifestyle photographer

So a couple of days ago, I met such a pretty and photogenic family. And I mean all of them. So friendly and always joking the whole session. They seem like such a tight knit family that just loves to be around each other all of the time. This cute family jumped on my LivingSocial deal . Check them out!

newborn | presenting little, precious emily

Just the other day I showed you the cutest little sneak peek, little Emily is the new daughter of Lesley & Eric. Only three weeks old, it was so precious to see them still cooing over every little thing she did during the shoot. Feel free to view the whole collection here.

We started out in the courtyard in the ByWard Market.

This is probably one of my favourite's from the session.

It was so precious to see how in awe this man was with his daughter.

We moved over to Major's Hill Park to get some more casual shots.

The sweet new family.

Thanks for giving me the chance to meet you guys, and photograph your new, beautiful family!
