Springtime Magic: Family Portrait Session

There is something completely magical about spring portrait sessions, and this recent family session was absolutely no exception! We were blessed with the most perfect backdrop nature could offer—vibrant, blooming lilacs filling the air with their sweet scent and fresh, crisp greenery everywhere you looked. As the sun began to lower, it bathed the entire location in that dreamy, golden-hour light that photographers live for. But the real magic? It wasn’t just the scenery; it was the pure joy, laughter, and the sweetest smiles from this incredible family. Every single element came together so effortlessly to create truly stunning, timeless photos that I am so excited to share. ( Event date : 2026 May 30th )

Capturing the Spirit of Kyudo in Ottawa

It has been my absolute honour to serve as the official photographer for the Ottawa Kyudo Association’s recent event! Going into the event, I knew I was there to photograph archery. But what I witnessed was so much more than a sport—it was a moving meditation. I was deeply inspired by the participants’ immense passion, razor-sharp focus, and unwavering dedication to this beautiful Japanese martial art.

In Kyudo, the focus isn’t just hitting a target; it’s about the purity of the process, the harmony of movement, and the refinement of the mind. Looking through the lens, I could feel the intense stillness in the room right before an arrow was released. Capturing that precise moment—where supreme focus meets explosive action—was both a technical challenge and a profound artistic joy.

To the organizers and all the participants of the event: thank you so much for welcoming me into your space and trusting me to capture your art. Your warmth and dedication made this an unforgettable experience. (Event day : 2026 May 16 and 17 )

Graduation photo session – 2026 May

I had a wonderful time reconnecting with these two ambitious graduates last week! Having met them during a previous school session, it was an absolute honor to be invited back to document such a significant milestone in their lives. 

We spent the afternoon capturing the joy of their achievements, and I couldn’t be prouder of the hard work they’ve put in. The light at Tabaret of OttawaU was perfect. I really enjoyed hearing the cheers from bystanders and drivers while the session. Despite the challenge of navigating the stairs in long dresses and heels, these two made looking effortless seem easy, even if we had a few giggles along the way !

Congratulations to  both—I hope these photos serve as a lifelong reminder of your success! (Event day : 2026 May 2 )

Vessels for Spring

I had the absolute pleasure of capturing the Ottawa Guild of Potters‘ Pop-Up Art Show at Scrims Florist!

It was a true honour to be selected as the official photographer for this event—a vibrant celebration where the earthy craft of pottery met the delicate beauty of nature. This unique showcase was a collaborative effort, featuring the works of Ottawa’s most talented potters alongside exquisite floral arrangements curated by the Scrims staff.

The synergy between the textured ceramics and the graceful blooms was seamless, creating an atmosphere of pure elegance and creativity. I am incredibly grateful to have played a part in documenting this creative journey!

Business Portrait Session

I recently photographed a business portrait session for this wonderful voiceover artist and audiobook narrator. Even though his work happens behind the microphone, having strong professional images is an important part of building his personal brand.

The goal of this session was to create portraits that feel natural, confident, and approachable—images that can be used across casting platforms, websites, and social media. We kept the setup clean and simple, focusing on expressions and subtle variations to reflect both personality and professionalism. I truly hope these images help him connect with clients and audiences. For more about him, check here: https://www.instagram.com/luke_oldham_vo/

A Festive Session Full of Joy and Heart

The holiday season is usually a whirlwind of deadlines and decorations, but every once in a while, I have a session that reminds me exactly why I love being a photographer. This day’s shoot with the Scrims Florist team was exactly that.

From the moment I walked into the space, the energy was electric. It’s rare to see a team so deeply connected to what they create. As they prepped their latest products for the holiday rush, I wasn’t just capturing items on a shelf; I was capturing the care, detail, and pride that goes into every single piece they produce.

When a team cares this much about their products, it makes my job easy—the quality speaks for itself through the lens.

This session reminded me that the best brands are built by people who actually enjoy working together. Thank you to Scrims Florist for letting me document your hard work and super joyful holiday cheer !!

University of Ottawa – CDI

Session date : 2025 November 3rd

I had an incredible opportunity to work with the executive team of CDI, Le Comité sur la diversité et l’inclusion de la Section de droit civil de l’Université d’Ottawa.

For their session, we selected the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) building in the university. Between the soaring glass structures and the lush, stunning five-story wall, the backdrop was as sophisticated as the team itself. It was the perfect environment to capture their collective professional spirit as they gear up for their upcoming initiatives.

I feel truly privileged to have been entrusted with capturing the CDI executive team’s vision. I was deeply impressed by the drive and collective spirit of every member I met. I hope the images are useful for their new activities !

A Magical Winter Session with a Gentle Giant

Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of heading out into this winter wonderland for a portrait session that is truly magical. I want to give a huge thanks to my wonderful clients for braving the biting cold and drifts—it wasn’t just a photo shoot; it was an adventure!

The star of the show was a magnificent “gentle giant”. Seeing his massive paws kick up fresh powder while he stayed perfectly attuned to his owner’s side was breathtaking. 

In the freezing air, I saw the warmth of their bond. Whether it was a quiet lean against a leg or a snowy nose-nudge, these are the moments that make winter sessions so rewarding.

Thank you for trusting me to capture these memories. It was cold, yes, but the results are nothing short of magical.

Tradition, Love, and Lifelong Bonds – Wedding Portrait

What an absolute honour it was to capture this Japanese wedding session!

This celebration was incredibly close to my heart. Since the groom’s mother is a long-time friend of mine, I have actually known him since he was a baby! Transitioning from watching him grow up to capturing the moment he started his own family was a truly personal and emotional experience.

The day was a stunning blend of heritage and new beginnings. From the intricate details of their attire to the way they looked at one another, every moment felt like a masterpiece.

Huge congratulations to the happy couple! I hope these gorgeous photos become cherished memories as you begin your beautiful new life together.
