Ottawa Family Lifestyle Sessions

Everyday moments, tenderly preserved

There’s something deeply meaningful about preserving the everyday: the quiet rhythm of family life as it is right now. Not staged or polished, but real. Honest. Full of connection.

 

Family photos aren’t just for remembering what this season looked like, but for remembering how it felt. These images become part of your family’s story — the ones you’ll return to when the years start to blur, when little voices change and routines shift.

My sessions are relaxed, unhurried, and focused on capturing that story, just as you are.

As a lifestyle family photographer based near Ottawa, I create images that reflect your family’s unique energy and emotion. These aren’t just photos of what this season looked like, they’re a way to remember how it felt. These images become part of your family’s story, grounding you in a time that can so easily blur as little voices change and routines shift.

My family photography sessions across Ottawa and Lanark County are relaxed and unhurried. They’re focused on documenting your family just as you are, with warmth, intention, and meaning.

What to Expect from Your Ottawa Family Photography Session

What to Expect from Your Ottawa Family Photography Session

Yes, you’ll walk away with beautiful images of your family, the kind that make you stop and stare every time you pass them on the wall. But just as important to me is that the whole experience feels effortless for you.

From the moment you reach out, I’ll guide you through everything! From choosing a location and figuring out what to wear, to helping your partner or kids feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if they’re not usually into photos). I’ve spent years fine-tuning how I do this, and it matters to me that you feel taken care of every step of the way.

Because this isn’t just about photographs. It’s about remembering the way your toddler’s curls caught the light, how your child clung to you when no one was looking, or the way your family moved together, with all your quirks and love and joy wrapped into one ordinary, unforgettable afternoon.

These moments slip by quickly. My job is to help you hold onto them ~ not just what it looked like, but how it felt.

What to Expect from Your Ottawa Family Photography Session

These are the slow hours of family life. The quiet wonders. The parts you’ll wish you could return to.

Your family session includes a relaxed one-hour shoot, either in the comfort of your home or at a location we choose together. Afterward, you'll receive a full gallery of carefully edited, high-resolution images delivered in a private online gallery, perfect for downloading, sharing, or printing. There’s no need to choose your favourites as you’ll get all the best images, because your full story deserves to be told. And if you’d like a little help with outfits or location ideas, I’m always happy to offer guidance along the way.

If you’re expecting, you may want to check out my maternity photography in Ottawa. Those quiet, in-between moments before baby arrives are just as meaningful.
