Ottawa Family Portraits - Would you like a good cupcake or coffee?

Valerie & Ed got married in 2004 and I was the chosen photographer. They were referred to me by Valerie's brother.

Since their wedding they've come back for family portraits when they have their first son Ethan and now it was time to add Owen. Those 2 boys are smart and full of energy. Not a dull moment. They kept me on my toes!!!

Their 3rd son Aiden is on it's way so we took advantage of the session to capture Valerie's pregnancy glow.

Valerie is the owner of Emma's Cupcake and specializes in allergy free baking. She's offers a variety of cupcakes from Plane Jane to La Dolce Vita. You can visit her website at http://www.emmascupcake.com/.

Ed is the owner of the Second Cup at the St. Laurent Shopping Center. Pop by to savour one of his delicious coffee or smoothies and tell him his favourite photographer sent you!!

Many thanks to the Quan family. Looking forward in capturing little Aiden.

Ottawa Baby Photographer - Hats & Tutus

I was recently approached by a nice lady named Heather Brown who is one of the partners in a business called Shauna's Bowtique. They sell handmande, high quality hair bows and accessories.

Heather brought me a couple of items to try out in my photo shoots such as the tutu, woven hat and crochet headband. I found them to be fun and good quality and would not hesitate to recommend her items to anyone who is looking for cute accessories for their child.

Ottawa Portrait Photographer - Kim and Logan

I met Kim in 2001 at her sister Terri's wedding which was held at the Lodge at Strathmere.

Kim wanted photos with her son Logan. We went to Petrie Island on a Saturday morning and created beautiful images and later did another session in the studio and created other beautiful images making Kim's selection very difficult.

The images from Petrie Island were my favourite as they were more relax and candid. Logan ran around and did some climbing.

Thank you Kim and Logan for making this a fun experience!

Ottawa Portrait Photographer - 3 generations

Last year I had the opportunity to photograph Sophie and Morgan's wedding at Chateau Montebello. It was a beautiful wedding and the warmest weekend of the summer!!

Sophie wanted to offer a Mother's Gift to her mom by bringing her to the studio to have a 3 generation portrait done. We did all kinds of poses from traditional to candid, grandma hidding behind the backdrops and making funny faces so Olivia would smile. The selection of photos was interesting.

This photo is my favourite!!!

Ottawa Baby Photographer - Cute Frog!

Maxime is one of the babies who voluntered for my baby project.

He was referred to me by his Aunt Janelle who's wedding I photographed 5 years ago at Ste. Marie in Orleans.

Maxime was 12 days old at the time of the session. He's a very handsome little man and a very good model.

This photo will definitely make it into my portfolio.

Un gros merci Dominique, Benoit & Maxime.

Ottawa Baby Photographer - Petit Cadeau!

France and Françis came to see me 2 years ago to photograph their wedding held at Stanley's Farm. What a beautiful wedding!

Now they are back with their gorgeous baby daughter Mélia which was born on April 19. Her mom is very creative. She had brought in all sorts of props so Mélia could have personnalized photos.

This is one of my favourite. She's a beautiful gift from God.

Ottawa Baby Photographer - Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn's parents brought her in so I could document her first year anniversary. The last time I saw her she weighed less than 10 pounds and slept throughout the whole session. She sure has grown into a beautiful young baby.

We played with dresses, tutus, hats, chairs, did some family portraits making the selection for her parents very difficult.

She's quite the model!!!!
