Ottawa Parliament Proposal: Helen + Yale, Sneak Peek

Ottawa-Proposal-Engagement-Parliament-Hill-Stephanie-Beach-PhotographyEvery December I sit down with a good old pen and paper and make a list of goals for my business. It is full of things I think I can accomplish and things I want to accomplish. I definitely put things on it that I know will get done (as it is always nice to check things off a list), but I also put a bunch of items on it that are going to be challenging for me. Some are even designed to push me out of my comfort zone.

Last December when I sat down to make my list for 2017 I wanted to include Shoot a Proposal on it, but I ended up taking it off the list because I really didn’t know how to even go about marketing such a thing.

Engagement Session at Pleasure Park Campground: Tara + Daryl

As I mentioned in Tara + Daryl’s first sneak peek, it was a long drive from Ottawa to Pleasure Park Campground and RV Resort, but the drive was not only scenic, but 100% worth it!! The session with Tara + Daryl was fantastic and we were able to get some amazing shots!! And to make things even better, we were able to knock off a couple shots from my ever-growing ‘to shoot’ list, like the one from their second sneak peek.

But the thing that made this session so great, was how fun these two were throughout the entire evening and even more so, how much they clearly love each other. I can’t wait to cover their wedding next May, I know it is going to be just as amazing and they are going to be even more breathtaking than they are in the below photos (seriously – these guys rocked this shoot)!
