Armed with Poles Race Day - Ottawa Event Photographer

I was honoured to head Downtown last night to photograph Armed with Poles in their final minutes before the Race began.  Energy was good, weather was nice and smiles were all around.  Congratulations to the team! Thank you for letting me share in your Race Day with you.

A Day at the Arboretum - Ottawa Family Photographer

We had a wonderful family photo session at the Arboretum last weekend.  We couldn't ask for better weather, not too hot, not too cool, just perfect.  The children ran and played and we got more than a few gorgeous photos to share.

Here is a sneak peek at our wonderful time.

We even had the opportunity to get Auntie in on the action with her neices.  You can see in their smiles just how much they love spending time with her.

Thank you M Family for allowing me to capture your family.

Mother's Day Winner - Ottawa Family Photographer

Together with Kids in the Capital, we had a Mother's Day Giveaway. And on Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the winner.  What a wonderful family, Dad was with us, but only to help.  In the spirit of the giveaway, our winner decided that it was just a time for Mom and the kids to have their photos taken together.  And it worked out quite well. 

The weather had just taken a turn on us, going from bright and sunny to cloudy and windy and the wind off the water at Andrew Hayden was quite cool.  We found a few spots that the wind was blocked and tried our best to keep warm.  Mostly concerned for the kids as us Moms we are tough.

Here is a sneak peek at this gorgeous family.  I am truly blessed to be able to capture these wonderful moments together and to meet such wonderful people.  Thank you.

Armed with Poles - Ottawa Event Photographer

Let me introduce to you Armed with Poles.  Armed with Poles is a Nordic walking team who have come together to raise money in the fight against cancer.  They are gearing up for Ottawa's Race Weekend where they will be Nordic Walking the 10K, this is the second year that Armed with Poles has participated in the Ottawa Race Weekend. 

I had the pleasure of photographing them while they were receiving their bright orange jerseys and heading out for a training walk of the course.  What a wonderful group of athletes.  The smiles were bright, the energy was amazing and I was only sorry I didn't have some poles to join them in their walk.

Best wishes for Race Day!

EM Ottawa May 12th Event - Ottawa Event Photographer

The Entrepreneurial Mom's May Event was held at Milkface on Bank Street.  Britt Pegan shared with us her journey from Mom to Entrepreneur.  Britt started her online company back in 2001 and now has two storefronts in Ottawa as well as the online store.  And to top that off Milkface is working towards becoming a franchise.  We had a wonderful evening and I still find it amazing each month to meet more and more amazing talented Women in Ottawa.

Thank you Britt for sharing both your store and your story with us on Wednesday, you are such an inspiration.

Sweet Addison - Ottawa Newborn Photographer

A sneak peek of sweet Addison.  What a beautiful baby, so sweet tempered and gorgeous.  She sure didn't want to curl up and sleep for me, but we managed a few snuggly shots.

Just look at those gorgeous eyes.  Thank you Jamie and Din for letting me share in this beautiful time with you.
