daina + corey | first anniversary session at pinhey's point at sunset

How has it already been a YEAR?!

Daina and Corey are celebrating their first anniversary in style, literally. We popped champagne in the sunset and took some really lovely images at Pinhey's Point last week. I adore an anniversary session! Especially with a couple this fun and willing to do whatever it takes for a cute pic:

kayla + henchey | cottage engagement session with canoe at sunset

I've never been so happy for the rain.

Kayla, Henchey, and I had plans to shoot on a Wednesday evening, but the forecast made us rethink it. Instead of our city location, we opted for a Saturday night at the Dinardo family cottage. (Recognize the last name? Kayla is Brittany's sister!)

This shoot has everything. From the beautiful forest, to the cozy hammock and s'mores at the bonfire... it seems too perfect to be true. But it gets even better. Start your scroll now because you're about to fall in love with how we ended the shoot in a canoe at sunset.

I can't handle this one. It's such an honour to capture this amazing couple, in their sweet, endearing, devoted nature. Never have two people seemed to fit together so effortlessly.

diana + chris | tented wedding at the cottage on big rideau lake

Diana and Chris were married by the water on a private residence (the family cottage!) in August. Every little detail was absolutely perfect, from the dress to the tent to the boats that passed by to watch the ceremony from the dock.

Shoutouts to Wedecor & Dish Catering for bringing the celebration to life!

Enjoy!

taylor sargent | branding photography and headshots in ottawa

At this stage in my business, I so rarely get the chance to squeeze in a day of mini sessions! But this weekend was just the ticket -- I got to work with some truly inspiring local business women to capture some fresh photos for social media.

Each session had a unique take based on their industry, and I love how Taylor incorporated some pieces to show off her work as a branding and design specialist!

claire + mark | cottage engagement session near val des monts

My heart can't handle this one...

Up to this point I had only talked to Claire & Mark over the phone in preparation for their 2021 wedding -- but last week I got the opportunity to see their sweet, smiling faces, hear their laughs, and teach them how to rock a few key poses for their engagement session.

And the result? I'm obsessed. This cottage engagement shoot for Claire & Mark is a gorge mix of the forest and the lake. Take a peek and get ready to fall in love with them!

emily + brian + mason | ottawa lifestyle family session at the cottage

Emily and Brian were married in 2015; the same year my daughter was born. Their wedding was actually the very first wedding I shot after Jillian's birth! They were so gracious, so kind, so thoughtful, and had the utmost faith in my ability to pull it off.

What a treat to join them now, 5 years later, to document a little family session moment with their little guy, Mason! I adored my time with this fam at their cottage just outside of Ottawa.
