two little cousins at Christmas

These adorable little fellas are first cousins and only two months apart. There is nothing like holding and cuddling an adorable little one before Christmas and I got to hold and cuddle two of them! They were both so happy and content.

Merry Christmas!

I am sorry but I LOVE his expression in this one! "What the heck is that and why is my shirt off???"

Such a sound, tolerant little sleeper.

Just a few

of the beautiful people who are stuck with me.
My sister in law (aka sister) who can do anything when she puts her mind to it.
She is my favourite line partner in ballhockey (the rest of the ladies are awesome too!) - we just know where the other is, if that makes sense.


My little brother who is still a pain in the butt... Just kidding. He is an awesome brother and father and uncle.

And last but not least the littles. My sweet little nephew and niece who we love being around.
All together now:


Excuse me while I catch-up in my posts ...

There is just enough time to get in another batch of Christmas cards using photos from your session. I just received a batch in the mail and I have to say they are AWESOME! Give me a shout ASAP if you are interested.

New things happening

I am a wee bit behind on blog posts but it is all for good reasons. There are some changes going to be happening around here: a new website, re-jigged packages, baby and wedding shower registry specials, and a whole other branch to our business, among other things. Anyways, enough boring marketing .... onto the visuals!

Just one from earlier this year. My, how they grow.

Sweet Fall!

Enjoying the Fall

Such a sweet, happy, little girl with such adoring parents...

I got to photograph the most adorable little girl this past weekend. I used to babysit her mom when she was a child. It is so nice to see her as a mother and a wife.

This session was such a hoot. Amanda and Chris - you are such good sports! We even had some sweet little kiddos to sneak into the photos. I am looking forward to the wedding next year!

Fall minis are next weekend! Ottawa Family Photographer

The Fall mini-sessions are next week. There is one more time slot available so give me a call if you want it.

Please check-out the song on my website. Kim Beggs, a very talented canadian artist, has been kind enough to allow me to use it. Her website is http://kimbeggs.com.
More to come on her.

location, location ... ~ Ottawa Portrait Photographer

What an amazingly volatile sky we have had this week. I keep walking outside without my camera and kicking myself that I didn't bring it!
We went out to enjoy that sky one day this week. It was an average cloudy day but we could see huge clouds looming on the other side of the water - it was pouring out there. Then the clouds rolled-in and drenched us!

Mini-sessions are coming-up and this is a VERY small taste of the location (before we ran out of there!). There are two more spots left.
