I have always had a passion for photography, from a very young age I was the girl with the camera snapping shots of my family and friends. My parents encouraged this passion and enrolled me in my first photography course at the local college when I was still in high school. I fell even more in love with photography and the ability to capture those special moments in life. After completing the Environmental Engineering program at Carleton University, I continued my photographic education at Algonquin College by completing the Digital Photography certificate program. My photographic style is environmental photojournalism. I love getting those special candid moments during an event, I feel they capture the real personality of my subjects and the true feeling of the day. I pride myself in my professional yet comfortable approach to photography and my ability to deliver high quality images you and your family will cherish for years to come.

I must admit, I love our repeat clients. That probably seems like a pretty obvious statement, I mean, of course I love repeat clients that’s just basic business-sense, duh! But what I mean by this is that I LOVE our repeat clients because they are just the best people ever! They are all just so wonderful to spend time with and it has been a real honour to capture their family’s over the years. And I can think of no better example than Chandra + Yan, and their now two adorable little ones Josie + Felix!

Outdoor + In-Home Lifestyle Maternity Session: Bridget + Matt

The end of March is not a very pretty time of the year when it comes to the great outdoors. The ground is pretty muddy, the skies are often dull and gray, and the trees are basically empty. And for a lot of sessions I typically give people the option of waiting until the weather is a little nicer, but when it comes to time sensitive things, like maternity sessions, there really isn’t any waiting because once that little one decides to make their entrance a maternity session isn’t really an option anymore, haha!

But luckily Bridget + Matt were completely on board for their late March session and we were able to mix in some outdoor and in-home photos to give some more range to their photos.

Ottawa Studio Newborn Session: Simon

For years I have gathered things and held onto them. Not so much in a hoarding way, more of a ‘I’m going to craft something with this later’ kind of way. ⁠For example, when we had to cut down the lilac tree in our backyard (it had died for some unknown reason), I had Dave cut me some long branches for a project I had in mind. About 7 or so years later, and the branches are now called sticks and they are still in a corner in my craft room. I mean, I will eventually get around to that project … maybe.

Ottawa 100 Days Studio Milestone Session: Leo

I love milestone sessions! Not only do I get to hang out with wee babes just that little bit more before they grow up, I get to watch and document them as they do it!

Little Baby Leo came with his entire family and entourage for his 100 Days Milestone Session and it was so nice to be able to see his loved ones rally around him to celebrate this moment in his life. 100 Days is an important milestone in the Chinese culture as it represents the wish that the baby will live 100 years and reaches longevity, and it was such an honour to be able to capture this special day for this wonderful family!
