Sabrina + Zach Maternity || Britannia Beach, Ottawa

Sabrina and Zach met in 2019 and were lucky enough to quickly become pregnant with their sweet son, Andrea, in the summer of 2020. Because this was their first pregnancy, they were very eager to have a maternity photography session in Ottawa. We quickly got to planning and decided on the beach as the perfect backdrop for their romantic and relaxed maternity shoot! {READ MORE}

Matt + Ashely Duchene Maternity Session || Pinhey’s Trails, Ottawa

This beautiful, happy, expecting family is the Duchene family. I don't do maternity sessions very often, so when Ashley reached out to me to shoot some portraits in Ottawa of her, her husband Matt, and their puppers Paisley, plus a little one on the way, I was so excited and happily obliged!

Ashley was eight months pregnant when she contacted me to do her maternity photoshoot. Doesn’t she look amazing?! She was hoping for a snowy, wintery, maternity session with her husband. They were expecting their first child, a baby boy, in January and wanted her first pregnancy documented. With Matt playing in the NHL, their schedules were super tight. It was really tricky finding a time that worked for us to meet, but I was SO happy that we were able to find a date that worked!
