Portrait photography for kimono, family, pets, dogs, cats, kids, Japanese, traditional, and events
I had a wonderful time photographing a recent Tai Chi lesson led by an instructor from the Aging Gracefully Ottawa. Tai Chi is such a powerful practice for building physical strength and mental clarity—a perfect combination for those of us in golden years. The Aging Gracefully Ottawa did a fantastic lesson; I found myself feeling a deep sense of calmness just by being in the room!
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!
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/
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 !!

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 !

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.

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.

On the beautiful autumn evening, I had a wonderful time of capturing this energetic team ADTE, Association du droit du travail et de l’emploi de l’Université d’Ottawa
The historic Rideau Canal served as a timeless setting for this professional portrait session, perfectly framing their dynamic spirit and bright ambition of the law students. Even a few friendly ducks joined the scene, enhancing the already picturesque setting! The sunset of this autumn evening added superb lighting for every shot.
I am sincerely honoured that this esteemed association entrusted me with this important project. Here’s to the 2025-2026 Executive Team—may this be your most impactful and successful year yet!
