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 Ornamental Gardens Lifestyle Maternity Session: Mariam + Ramy

I’m throwing it way back with this blog post as Mariam and Ramy’s maternity session was photographed all the way back in 2021. It is one of the few blog posts that I have in my backlog that aren’t there because of our own pregnancy (and then the craziness that happens in those first couple years). Mariam and Ramy had asked that I not post their maternity photos until after their little one had arrived, but since I have photographed his newborn and first year photos and he is even bigger than that now, I think I could knock this one off my ‘to blog’ list safely now.

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.

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.
