This pair of high school sweethearts met way back in 2012, and from their first date, she was smitten. Andrea describes it this way: “as cliche as it sounds, I knew it was him from the start!” After dating for seven years, Mark surprised her with an unexpected proposal back in 2019 on a Caribbean cruise. Both sides of their families booked a trip together and had the best time, but little did Andrea know that it was just going to get better! {READ MORE}

Read MoreJosee and Jean have been together for a decade, so their wedding is even more reason for a party. After meeting ten years ago, they moved to B.C. together. They have been engaged for six years after getting engaged in Hawaii (the most unexpected surprise in the most romantic location!). {READ MORE}
Read MoreThis spot is a hidden gem, only 30 minutes outside of Ottawa. We took advantage of the diverse backdrops offered for this Mill of Kintail photo session, from trails to fields to streams! There is even an old wooden shed that offers a rustic setting. The Kims looked perfect surrounded by all of the fields, with golden sunlight peeking through the trees. I loved their summer-y and classy outfits, including baby boy’s darling overalls!
Read MoreTessa and Jordan are the epitome of down-to-earth. They met in college seven years ago and have been inseparable ever since! The pair thrive off of spontaneity and the simple joys in life, like laughing with friends and enjoying the outdoors. They are a pair of old souls who simply love to be together—and it’s easy to tell that this is the case by their engagement sesh! {READ MORE}
Read MoreThere are so many things to love about this Brockville engagement photo session! I am particularly picky about location in the autumn when I want to show off the beautiful foliage, and the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area in Brockville was an absolute hidden gem. It was my first time shooting in the area and absolutely won’t be my last! {READ MORE!}
Read MoreThese 3 were so incredible to work with! Landsowne is such a great place to just hang out and the energy was relaxed and carefree. It’s so easy to tell that they are both best friends and in love! The weather and lighting were gorgeous; the sun set right behind them on the walkways. This downtown Ottawa engagement session was my final shoot for 2020 and the absolute perfect way to close out the year! {READ MORE}
Read MoreBetween engagements, holiday portrait sessions and weddings, my fall seasons are always packed as an Ottawa engagement photographer. Autumn is one of the most-requested times for photo sessions here in Ottawa, and after looking at this Barrhaven engagement session, it is easy to see why! {READ MORE!}
Read MoreSabrina 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}
Read MoreWhile getting to know Katie and Matt better during our shoot, I learned that they love to travel, go on walks, and their ideal date or outing is to hit up a patio for a drink (or four!) and then go to a cafe for a coffee. I love the connection they have and definitely resonate with their connection over quality time spent together.
Read MoreThe first year of your marriage goes by in such a blur. Most couples get the typical engagements taken prior to the wedding, and often a bridal/formal shoot or two, then the wedding day, and then that’s it. Your love story doesn’t end after the honeymoon! Documenting your continuing love in an anniversary session is a special way to capture your lasting relationship so you can reflect back years later and remember the happiness of that special time.
Read MoreWe decided on a campsite for Mev and Adam’s engagement photos before they had even chosen a wedding date or venue! Priorities people! These two had their hearts set on an outdoorsy shoot, in Ottawa, and it turned out so beautifully. I love it when my couples make their photos unique and personal! Then, to put the icing on the cake, the session ended up happening on Mev’s birthday. What better reason to get all dressed up and celebrate than engagement photos with the love of your life on your birthday?!
Read MoreLike so many couples this year, Katie and Ron postponed their wedding due to Covid. But, they still wanted to get married, so they eloped! The elopement took place in Nova Scotia where they had a little ceremony on the beach. However, they still wanted to take engagement photos! I love to see how couples have really made the best of a crazy situation, and Ron and Katie are no exception!
Read MoreThis 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!
Read MoreWould you look at this field of sunflowers?! Talk about a dream location to shoot at! This adorable couple in this amazing sunflower field is Jenn + Scott. They originally wanted to have their session at the experimental farms, but after a little bit of research, we found this sunflower field in Ashton, ON and we all knew we had to shoot here! Oh, we are so glad we did!
Read MoreThis location is just as classic as it gets! It's full of trails, trees, bridges, and so many more hidden gems. Every time I photograph here I found a new treasure that is perfect for a photoshoot <3
Read MoreOne of my favourite moments was their first look since they also privately shared their wedding vows together. I loved that idea because it was such a beautiful moment between these two and allowed for a tears + giggles alone! {READ MORE}
