In this session day, we’re diving into the joy of Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three)! This significant Japanese ritual of passage, celebrating the health and growth of three and seven-year-old girls and five-year-old boys, is always a beautiful event. I feel incredibly privileged and honoured to have been asked to document this family’s happiness. To see such a cherished tradition from Japan celebrated with such elegance and meaning here in Canada makes the moment even more magical. My sincerest hope is that this day is wonderfully memorable and provides the whole family with treasured photos for years to come.

What a fantastic day it was at the University of Ottawa’s iconic Tabaret Hall! We had an absolute blast capturing the new professional profile photos for the incredible team ADIUO, Association de droit immobilier de l’Université d’Ottawa.

The setting was simply magical—that beautiful architecture and the perfect stream of natural light created a splendid backdrop. I’m genuinely thrilled with how sharp and confident these images turned out, and I’m certain they will give a huge boost to all of their 2025–2026 initiatives.

A massive thank you to the association for choosing me for this exciting project. Let’s make 2025-2026 their best year yet! Learn more about this dynamic team here: https://www.instagram.com/adiuo.dcivil/

What a joy and privilege it was to photograph this lovely family celebrating the beautiful Japanese rite of passage, Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three).

For those unfamiliar, Shichi-Go-San is celebrated every November to honour the health and continued happiness of young children. It is a time for families to visit a shrine to give thanks and pray for their children’s bright futures—specifically for girls at ages three and seven, and for boys at age five.

Seeing little ones dressed in their traditional, vibrant kimono added such a profound sense of tradition and elegance to the session. Watching them embrace their cultural heritage on this milestone day makes it truly unforgettable.

Thank you for trusting me to document this day. I am truly grateful to be part of such meaningful milestones. These images will serve as a cherished reminder of their growth, their culture, and their beautiful family bond for years to come.

This past August, I had the pleasure of capturing the spirit and determination of the leaders in a series of portraits.

As the academic year kicks into high gear, AED, Association des étudiants.es en droit civil Université d’Ottawa, the Ottawa University’s leaders of Law Student Organization continues to be a vibrant hub for connection, learning, and advocacy within the university. At the heart of their group’s success are the dedicated and passionate individuals who lead them.

Each of these individuals brings a unique perspective and an unwavering commitment to enriching the law student experience. Their hard work, vision, and tireless efforts are what make the organization the dynamic force it is.
