There Is A Voice Inside Of You, That Whispers All Day Long,

I Feel That This Is Right For Me, I Know That This Is Wrong.

No Teacher, Preacher, Parent, Friend, Or Wise Man Can Decide What’s Right For You

Just Listen To The Voice That Speaks Inside. Shel Silverstein

Welcome to the world little one. You are beautiful. You are precious. You are full of promise and you are the future. You are loved, unconditionally.

I believe that there is a place in a heart reserved just for loving children. Just when you think your heart understands love, you look into the eyes of your newborn baby, and you feel something that is greater than anything you have ever felt before…and the moment your eyes lock, you just know that you are forever changed…Embrace that feeling ….take it all in.

I can’t tell you what an honour it is to photograph life, to physically capture an emotion, a moment in time. My photography journey affords me the ability to be witness to this – the beauty of life and all the emotions that go along with it. I know in my heart that I am creating these wonderful memories for my clients, but what they don’t know is that I always come away from a session with renewed sense of how precious life is. Its in the small details…the way a couple looks at each other or the way daddy-to-be hugs and kisses the belly… it can be a different detail every time, however, it always comes back to the same thing – to me, it is the tangibility of love and of life…

Thank you for that precious gift you give me.

This year I have met some wonderful people of all ages. I am very blessed to have such amazing clients who trust me to come into their homes to capture their memories. I am also blessed to have gotten to know these wonderful people - sharing laughter and exchanging stories. Life is a gift. To me, life is also art.

In 2009, I met some beautiful souls – I look forward to all the beautiful souls I will meet in 2010.

You may remember this couple, well their little one has finally arrived to a home full of love and warmness. It was amazing to see this new family together, so comfortable in their new roles as mommy and daddy. It was such a pleasure to see Ann Marie and Philip again along with their new bundle of joy. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable in your home as well as for the opportunity to be a part of the beginning of your amazing journey with “E”.

Family Reunion | Ottawa Family Photographer

There is a running joke in Ottawa – if you don’t like the weather just wait a minute – it will change. That seemed to be the theme the weekend I was to photograph this wonderful family. They were coming in from different parts to see me in Ottawa, and seeing that I really wanted to take advantage of the beautiful fall season here, I was watching the weather channel 2 weeks before we were scheduled to meet. Originally, we scheduled for the Saturday but that was a really yucky day so we switched it to the Sunday. Mother nature was good to us – gave us some wonderful sunshine!

I had such an amazing time with this family. Grandmother, grandfather, mom, dad, son, and aunty! Lots of hugging and kissing and “family reunion” posing. Little “A” was such a joy and we got along just wonderfully! Verna and family, enjoy your sneak peek! Thank you for such a great sunny Sunday session!

I love this series…they knew how to work the camera.

I meet Julie about 15 years ago (yep, Jules, its been that long! , and as life would have it, we both got busy and lost touch. Recently, we reconnected and I was thrilled. I was so happy to have an opportunity to see her, Derek, and the kids once again.

Last time I saw “D” was 7 years ago! Now she is a beautiful pre-teen, who I know is going to break some hearts in the future. Look at those GORGEOUS eyes!!!!!!

I have a great photo of “C” from 7 years ago, holding my daughter who was about 1-2 months old at the time. I remember he asked his mom at the time to have “another one”. I think he was smitten with my baby girl. Now, he is a pre-teen as well, and this photo I just love. Just look at the wonderful expression.

So here we are all having a great time and I say, lets get some of dad and son. Derek, Dad, heads into his room and comes out with this wig….well, I was laughing so hard I could hardly control myself….so “C” got in on the fun …doesn’t this look like a great portrait for the wall….I can see it now…a 20×24 canvas!

…seriously we were all cracking up…it was so funny!!

…caught Julie laughing too….

Ok so this is more like it….great father / son moment.

…and mother / daughter moment…

They live on this great property with tons of tress and space! I just knew we would have to go out and get some photos in the woods!

It was such a gorgeous fall day….

Julie and Derek, enjoy your sneak peek. I had a great time and I am so happy I got to see you guys again – its been far too long!

I had the pleasure of meeting mommy-to-be a few weeks before I did her maternity session. The first thing I noticed about her, other than being really beautiful, was that she was absolutely radiant and glowing. We chatted for a few minutes about the upcoming session and the more we talked the more I knew I couldn’t wait for this maternity session.

I met her again this past weekend for the actual maternity session. Daddy-to-be was there for a bit to capture some moments, and then left the girls alone to do the rest. We had such a pleasant time – we had on the “spa” music playing in the background while we chatted about ourselves, our experiences, and our lives. It was so laid back and relaxed. The more she spoke of her little angel on the way, the more I could feel the love and excitement in her voice. It was very obvious to me that this little baby is truly loved.

Ann-Marie and Philip, enjoy your sneak peek and thank you for such a wonderful time.
