The lovely couple met in Ireland while Caitlyn was visiting a friend. They live in Ireland for now, but got engaged over their Christmas break in Ottawa while visiting Caitlyn's family, and asked me to shoot their engagement photos before returning back home. Thank you guys so much for braving the cold with me, Ross, just wait until it is -40 ;)


It was so frigid, lots of cuddles required to stay warm.

Ross is from Ireland, and Caitlyn from here...I had to bring along my vintage globes and suitcases.

They will be getting married here in Ottawa next May!

Thanks so much C&R!!

They asked if I would be interested in doing a spread for their Spring 2012 Issue! Yes, please! I got together a group of my cousins and friends and we had a day full of shooting and fun. I have to say a huge thank you to my mom Nancy and sister Bianca for helping me style the shoot, and to everyone who came out to model for me for being so awesome!

Since it was still the middle of winter and not the least bit Spring-like, I decided to have the kids inside and shoot through the window to give a 'store fashion window display' feel, with the kids looking like perfect mannequins.

Thank you to Bella Child Magazine for the amazing opportunity!

Please check out the magazine online here!

Below are a few of the images :)

That's my nephew in there! I was so excited to shoot my brother and sister in laws maternity session. The location was a dream and we had a perfect day.

 

Shanna is a teacher, so the apples fit perfectly. Plus, they were delicious!

And introducing, my newphew...Dane! He was such an angel for the entire shoot.

Of course with an auntie that is a photographer, he will have a full model portfolio by the time he is two! Can't wait for many, many more sessions with my favourite little guy.

I am so looking forward to their wedding in July! Many more laughs and tons of fun to come :)

 

They definitely share a deep love for the Ottawa Senators...so we had to incorporate hockey into a few photos :)

You guys are too adroable!

The proposal...so unique and special! The back had a heartfelt letter...

The perfect fall day!

In this shoot I had the opportunity to incorporate a few of my favourite things, babies, balloons, sunlight and an open field. Amelia was such a pleasure to shoot, with her beautiful big eyes and girlie-ness.
