Almonte Farm Lifestyle Newborn + Family Session: The Kealeys

I don’t even have words for how special it has been watching this family grow over the last few years. Not only are Mariah and Benjamin the sweetest people (and funny too), but their little ones are so freaking adorable!!⁠ I got to meet Bennet on their wedding day, and have seen Milo grow since he was a wee newborn (and his adorable cake smash). Now their sweet little girl Eloise is here and I loved getting to see her with her two big brothers because boy-oh-boy do they ever love her!!

Ottawa Hog’s Back Park Lifestyle Family Session: The Roses

My best friend growing up had four younger siblings on her mom’s side and whenever I would visit I always wondered how her mom did it. It seemed like it would be so tiring to keep them all entertained throughout the day, and completely overwhelming to go anywhere with all of the kids in tow. But she did, and she did it wonderfully. And The Roses are doing it wonderfully too. Their four kids are seriously some of the best listeners I have worked with. Every time I have had them in front of my camera they have done so well.

Ottawa Outdoor Lifestyle Newborn Session: Madelyn

I do a lot of lifestyle newborn session indoors, specifically in the family’s home, so when Courtney + Scott asked if we could do their newborn session in a park I was super on board! I just loved the idea of changing things up a bit and of course the summer time is a great chance to get everyone outdoors.

In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session: Mackenzie

You really never know what you’re going to be greeted with when it comes to big siblings. Sometimes they are super keen on being a part of the session and other times they want nothing to do with it. Every once in a while you find yourself somewhere in between (for example, a grumpy toddler who will be in the photos but not be happy about it, haha!), but more often than not, it’s one extreme or another. I am just oh so happy (and lucky) that when it came to Baby Mackenzie’s session, Big Sister Aubrey was the former and was absolutely thrilled that is was photo day!

Ottawa In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session: Archer

So, Mother Nature was kind of uncooperative for a couple weekends in October. Which of course meant we had to reschedule this session because of the rain. I think we were all a little nervous and worried that due to the delays we would miss the great fall colours, but luckily for all of us that definitely didn’t happen as their backyard was still stunning! Seriously, this place looked like it was plucked straight of a magazine! But what was even better than that was this adorable family, particularly sweet Little Archer!
