Natural family photography in the Ottawa area by Peggy Skof.

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.

 

As an Ottawa family photographer, 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 the Ottawa Valley are relaxed and unhurried. They’re focused on documenting your family just as you are, with warmth, intention, and meaning.

Every family has its own story. Some days feel calm and easy, others are full of chaos and laughter. However your days look, they’re worth remembering exactly as they are.

What to Expect from Your Ottawa Family Photography Session

OTTAWA FAMILY  PHOTOGRAPHER

Family photos don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. In fact, the silly moments usually end up being the ones you’ll treasure most. My goal is to capture that joy, that energy, and those real smiles that happen when you’re simply having fun together.

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 photos. It’s about remembering the way your toddler’s hair curled at the back, the way your child reached for you without thinking, and the small moments that make your family yours.

Life moves fast. My job is to give you a set of images that lets you pause it for a second, so you can remember not just how it looked, but how it felt to be in it.
