Engaged – Ottawa Wedding Photographer

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

I was contacted late last Summer to photograph the Spring wedding of Monica and John. As we were winding up one of my favorite seasons and heading into Winter, we decided that we should wait for Spring for the Engagement session, since all of us already had a very busy Fall planned with school, training and work. And I am so happy we waited. We had such a beautiful day, even if it was a tad bit chilly. They sun was out and shining on us and we had lots of fun traipsing through the Market.

John is in the Military so we decided to start out at the National Peace Keeping Monument. A lovely spot to photograph as well as reflect. This shoot was all about them and the fact that their wedding is just a few short weeks away now. I find that when you ask the Groom -to-be if they are excited about the upcoming wedding, most of the time, they play it down even if you can see the excitement in their eyes. Not John, he was right there declaring how excited he was to marry Monica, a man very much in love.

The plans are all coming together nicely, Monica and I have met a few times now and I have to say that she is one of the calmest Brides-to-be that I have ever met. I think it is safe to say that Monica and John are very well matched and I am looking forward to their Wedding Day very much.

As we were walking through the market, I kept looking for the perfect patio to borrow. In my mind I could see Monica and John sitting at a patio chatting and having a lovely time together. We chose the Heart & Crown, mostly because it was easily accessible. They were talking and laughing and I was far away from them getting some fabulous shots. After we were finished there was a little bit of a debate going on. Was this where they first met? or was it further down the street? Monica was sure that it was Heart & Crown, John not so much. But as the details unraveled it would appear that Monica was right and they did indeed meet outside the Heart & Crown, not far from where they were sitting on the patio. John was quick to admit that Monica was indeed right, once the details were all remembered. I was so thrilled that we happened to pick the spot that they first met for part of our shoot, it brought out some smiles and stories and is now documented for them and will now always be remembered.

Monica and John, thank you for choosing me to be your Wedding Photographer, it is an honor for me and I look forward to capturing your day and all of its details for you both. I truly enjoyed meeting with you and seeing just how much in love you are. Your love radiates from both of you and I look forward to capturing it on your Wedding Day.

There are still a few dates left for 2012 and am also booking into 2013. Please feel free to contact me for your Wedding Photography.

Jennifer of Hart and Galla – Ottawa Headshot Photography

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Jennifer and I have been working together for almost a year now. Although her company, Hart and Galla, is based out of Toronto, her work brings her to Ottawa quite often. We talk all the time about how people should look like themselves in their avatars or on their webpages. It is great to have fun shots of yourself on a beach or at a party, but only if you are not a business. In the case of Jennifer, she did have a pretty great photo of herself, however, it was an older photo and it wasn’t done professionally, you could tell. Jennifer has been working out and running and now looks a bit different than she did when that last photo was taken. It was time for an update.

Thanks to some really fabulous weather we had in Ottawa last week, we were able to meet for our session in short sleeves and light breezes, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. I am so pleased to present to you Jennifer of Hart and Galla as you would see her. This is the Jennifer you would be meeting and working with, her bright smile and sunny disposition is exactly how she is in business and I am so pleased that we were able to capture that.

Thank you Jennifer, for having me capture you and your beautiful smile. It was a such an honor for me, I have enjoyed working with you over this past year and I look forward to doing it again very soon.

If you are in business don’t leave your headshots in the hands of your iPhone, trust a professional to take care of this for you, and put your best face forward. Contact me today to book a headshot session of your own. I look forward to capturing your great smile and presenting you to your clients as they would and should see you.

Baby Isla – Ottawa Newborn Photographer

Sunday, March 25th, 2012

I feel so blessed when I get the opportunity to photograph a precious Newborn. The sweet smell of a new baby, so tiny and new. Isla was a treasure to photograph, she was already nine days old here but so teeny compared to my own two children, to me there is something so beautiful and special about a tiny new life. Bringing with her so much joy to her parents and the entire family. Babies change so quickly that before you know it Isla will be rolling and sitting up and then, walking.

I couldn’t resist capturing her tiny hands, feet and lips, so beautiful and perfect as perfect can be.

We had to be sure to capture the whole family, pup included. Such a well mannered member of the family, she made sure I was worthy of being allowed to meet Isla, then stuck close by just in case I needed a reminder.

Mom is originally from Winnipeg, so it was only fitting that Isla be sent her first Winnipeg Jets Hockey Jersey. And although a little bit big for her, I think she will be a happy hockey fan as she grows up, although she may have to cheer a little loud to be heard over the cheers from Dad for the Maple Leafs.

Thank you to Charnelle and Jim for welcoming me into your home and capturing your beautiful Isla. I was honored to have the privilege and I look forward to seeing her grow in the years to come.

If you or someone you know is pregnant and would like to book a newborn session, please contact me as soon as possible so we can fit you in the schedule.

Baby Makes Three – Smiths Falls Maternity Photographer

Friday, March 9th, 2012

I am so excited to share these photos with you! This lovely couple are expecting their first baby and I kind of feel like I am part of the family, I wanted to say “surrogate Grandma” but that would just make me sound much older than I am. You see I had the amazing opportunity to photograph their wedding back in June of 2009. And what a gorgeous wedding it was. I lovingly show potential Brides and Grooms the album from their special day and I have a rather large canvas up on my studio wall, a little something to remind me of how amazing their day was.

Well the time has arrived that they are growing their family. Not much has changed, they are still such a lovely and loving couple and now they are ready to share that love with a tiny new person. It was such a joy to get the call to come over and capture them before their newest arrival makes his appearance.

I am so honoured, thank you both for having me into your home and I look forward to meeting the newest member of your family!
