Whether you’re chasing your kids through golden-hour fields, soaking in a slow morning with your newborn, or saying your vows in an intimate, quiet place, I'm here for it. The real stuff. The messy, magical, honest moments that make up your story.

I photograph lifestyle family sessions and small, heartfelt weddings across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. My focus is always on connection, emotion, and mood, not perfect poses, but how it felt in that moment.

Based just outside Ottawa, you’ll often find me wandering through nature or curled up in cozy homes, documenting the quiet beauty of everyday life.

Let’s make photographs that feel like poetry: honest, a little imperfect, and completely you.

Your wedding deserves to be felt, not performed.

Candid outdoor wedding photography in Ottawa by Peggy Skof.

You do not need to be perfect.
You do not need to perform for the camera.

You deserve to move through your day with ease, knowing the meaningful moments are being documented as they naturally unfold. The big celebrations, the in-between glances, and the quiet pauses that often matter most.

As an Ottawa wedding photographer with over a decade of experience, I approach each wedding with calm guidance and thoughtful observation, creating images that feel timeless rather than staged.

This chapter is about more than a growing belly, it's the beginning of your motherhood story. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, these sessions offer a quiet pause, a chance to breathe and honour everything you're becoming. There's a stillness to this time, a kind of love that already lives in your bones, even before your baby arrives.

Alongside maternity sessions, I also offer newborn and early motherhood sessions for those who want to capture this full, fleeting season.

Peggy was an amazing photographer! She was our photographer for our engagement and wedding ceremony photos and captured great moments. She was excellent to work with and we will definitely work with her again for future projects. I highly recommend her for any occasion! :)

Peggy is amazing! She photographed our wedding in Sept 2024 and the photos turned out even better than we imagined. We’re not used to being in front of the camera, but she made us feel comfortable and captured beautiful candid moments. Our guests loved her too. She’s professional, creative, and so lovely to work with.
Highly recommend!

Peggy's beautiful work speaks for itself. Peggy was very patient, kind, and great at directing us and them. She kept us all smiling, and was able to get our boys engaged, feeling special, and having fun for the camera. She took her time with us, and expertly captured the sweetest candid moments. I'm so happy I chose her above others! We will 100% be hiring her again!

Peggy has photographed three of our major milestones: our engagement, wedding and 2 week old baby.
She is absolutely lovely to work with; she is clear, reliable and kind. AND her photos are absolutely stunning. Peggy has a knack for capturing special moments and the composition and lighting of her work is also beautiful.
We have received so many compliments on our wedding and baby shoot; friends and have family have been so impressed by how well Peggy captured us.
We highly recommend her as a lifestyle photographer! She’s the best!
