Baby M - Ottawa Newborn Photographer

There is nothing sweeter than a brand new baby.  At just five days old, I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful little girl and her gorgeous parents.  Baby M was an absolute dream to work with, fell asleep for me very quickly and allowed me to move her without barely an eye opened.

Baby M
So beautiful and such a great sleeper, I hope she keeps it up for Mom and Dad.
Baby M
Love the light from this window.  It gave us perfect light to shine on Baby M.

'Tis the Season for a Fall Special - Ottawa Portrait Photographer

'Tis the Season

As the cooler breezes blow and leaves start to change colour it is a sure sign that Fall is arriving tomorrow.  And as sure as Fall arrives, Winter and the holidays are just around the corner.

Those of us that send out holiday cards, know that sometimes it is hard to pick that perfect photo of the family. Let me help you with that.  As an added bonus if you book a Fall Portrait Session before October 31st (if you have already booked your session you are automatically included in this Fall Special) you will receive 25 Holiday Cards for no additional cost.  And have the option to purchase additional sets of 25 for $25.00 each.

Here are the five options available to choose from.  These cards are 5x5 inches and are professionally printed on card stock and come with white envelopes.

Tweethaven - Ottawa Event Photographer

Thursday night saw a crowd gather at Boston Pizza Barrhaven for the first Tweethaven event.  Organized by Chris @NachosatMidnight Marissa @PRMarissa and Gloria @TrueBlissCoach.  And it didn't disappoint.

Tweethaven

I couldn't even begin to list all the people that attended, some of which I had met before others whom I had only met on Twitter.  And of course some I met for the first time.

Tweethaven
 It was such a wonderful turn out and the prizes that were donated were fabulous, 67's tickets, stylus' for smartphones, gift certificates and more.  Oh yes, and a Blackberry thanks to Marc from Wireless Merchant @WrlessMerchant!

Tweethaven

A fabulous night all around, I think it is safe to say that everyone had a great time. A huge thank you to Boston Pizza Barrhaven @BPBarrhaven for allowing us to take over your bar area and supplying us with munchies (love the new chips!) and great service.

Looking forward to the next event already!

Fuchsia Factory - Ottawa Event Photographer

Fushia Factory

On Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of attending the September Fuchsia Factory Event held at Station Dental.  Fuchsia Factory is speed networking for Women started by Tina Yelle here in Ottawa and now branched out to Calgary and Toronto. Think speed dating, but you are sharing your business information.

Fushia Factory

Everyone is seated across from each other at a table and you have 60 seconds each to share as much info as possible about you and your business in that time. When the two minutes is up you move over a seat as do the opposite side, when you end up where you started you had the opportunity to share and meet everyone in the room.

Fushia Factory

It was a fabulous evening. Although I am great talking and sharing, when put on the spot my mind somehow shuts down and I have trouble thinking of what I need to say.  This was a wonderful opportunity for me to work on my speaking on the spot while getting to know some fabulous women and their businesses. I loved that we could all share and find out how we can work together, the possibilities were endless.

The delicious cupcakes were from Little Cakes, we were all so polite we waited until the end to try them and they were so worth the wait.

Thank you Tina for inviting me to your event and thank you to all the wonderful ladies I met on Tuesday, I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.

Family Day at Black Rapids - Ottawa Family Photographer

Today, September 11th is a day to hold your loved ones close and remember the events of nine years ago.  It seemed fitting that today, I would have the opportunity to spend some time with a truly fabulous family. 

Gorgeous both inside and out, we had a wonderful time at Black Rapids capturing moments together.

After a week of cooler temperatures and lots of rain, the gorgeous sunshine and warmth was welcome. We couldn't have picked a more perfect day or location for this family shoot.

Three boys, so sweet and loving.  They were a charm to work with.

Jody and Luc are Married - Ottawa Wedding Photographer

I had a wonderful opportunity to shoot second for CL Buchanan Photography on Saturday.  It wasn't the most perfect day weather wise, but everything else about it couldn't have been better.  Despite the chilly wind everyone was happy not to get rained on and not to be sweating in the heat that was hovering over us for the week before.

Jody and Luc were married in Embrum and had their reception at Stanley's Olde Maple Lane Farm, two beautiful locations.

If you would like to see more photos from this special day please head over to CL Buchanan Photography and view the slide show she put together. It was a truly magical day.  Congratulations and thank you to Jody and Luc for allowing us to share in your special day.
