Lady & Anthony's Winter Shoot at Major's Hill Park

I first met Lady while shooting Kristina & John's wedding back in August, where she was one of Kristina's bridesmaids. I was excited to hear from her again and her idea of capturing engagement photos from each of the four seasons. This month, she was hoping to complete a "winter wonderland" shoot before the impending spring weather took effect.  Not only was the couple a lot of fun to work with, but it was a great opportunity to create some crisp and clean images that highlighted the recent snowfall in Ottawa.

The couple is currently looking forward to their spring and summer photo session. I hope this shoot builds upon their theme nicely!


Baby Theo's First Portrait Session

It seems like we've hit the point in our lives where a good number of our friends are welcoming the arrival of their first child....us included!  It's always super exciting and we greatly enjoy meeting the new bundles of joy.

So, when we got word a couple of weeks ago that our friends Uyen and Matt had given birth to their precious baby boy Theo, I was delighted to hear that they wanted me to capture his first photos. The shoot was a lot of fun and it's always interesting trying to time the photos just right so that the newborns cooperate with our gentle prods to get them posed. ;) Below are some super cute snaps of the little "air bender" - hope our little one will be as photogenic when it arrives in May!

 


Headshots with the talented John Dapaah

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting head shots for John, a professional pianist and music teacher whose wedding I also covered last summer (see Kristina & John's Tabaret Hall wedding). The shoot was located at the Steinway showroom in Ottawa, where John was able to use one of their impressive grand pianos for both his portraits and video recordings. In addition to shots of John, we were also able to include two of his students in the photos- budding protegees!  Here are a few excerpts from our shoot:.
