Ottawa Spring Engagement Session: Krysten + Jon

Beaver-Pond-Engagement-Session-Ottawa-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-ringI often get asked by our couples if I just go around town looking for interesting locations – and the answer is yes, yes I do.

Ottawa Winter Maternity Session: Marie-France + Jonathan, Sneak Peek

Ottawa-Maternity-Session-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-Winter-pregnancy-trees-forestMarie-France + Jonathan were one of our absolutely amazing 2016 wedding couples. Their wedding day was beautiful and was, without a doubt, an absolute blast for everyone – including us! And right after they got their wedding photos, they let me know that I would hopefully be hearing from them in the next year or so as they started their family – and less than a year later, that’s exactly what happened!
