Ottawa Family Photographer
My most popular Ottawa Family Photography Sessions, delivered straight to your inbox
Did you know when I press the button on my camera it takes anywhere from 1/160th of a second to 1/1200th of a second for me to take a photo?
That means that no matter how much your children move or how quickly their mood changes, I always get amazing photos from sessions. My family photo sessions focus on taking modern, joyful portraits of families like mine: I am not Pinterest perfect and I don’t expect you to be either
I have been an Ottawa Family Photographer for over 15 years. As a parent I know how important your children and your memories of them are. At the same time I understand how the pressures that come with school, travel, work, and after school activities can make it difficult for you to make a photography session a priority. I am here to guide you every step of the way: from choosing the best session for your family, planning what to wear, deciding what types of photos you want us to take, to choosing your images after your session. My customer service is all offered online so you don’t have to worry about making additional appointments to plan your session or choose your images.
Because all Ottawa families have different visions for their photography sessions, each session I photograph is unique and planned around a family's needs and priorities. One of the things my clients tell me again and again is how much they appreciate that I listen to their requests and preferences. I am incredibly grateful to clients who travel from all over Ottawa for their session with me: from Riverside South, Kanata, Barrhaven, and even Stittsville.
As a mom of three and former therapist, I pride myself on connecting quickly and easily with my clients. Clients tell me that one of their biggest concerns is how their children will react during a session. Thanks to my client preparation process, I help parents prepare their children for the session and I am ready on the day of our session with a bag of tricks (quite literally) up my sleeves. I am good friends with the whole Paw Patrol gang and I even have tried and true methods for tweens and teens who are determined not to have fun during the session (don’t worry, they always do). My clients are reassured that no matter what their child’s mood or temperament, they will have beautiful memories of their family from our time together.
