Pontiac & Ottawa Valley Family Photographer

Real life • Real connection • Beautiffuly remembered

Family photos without the fuss.

No stiff poses or perfectly behaved kids required. We’ll wander, play laugh and let everyone be themselves. I’ll guide you when you need it and leave room for the little moments that happen naturally because those are usually the photographs you’ll love most.

Why Work With Me

Relaxed

You don’t need to know how to pose and your kids don’t need to behave perfectly. I’ll keep things easy, give you just enough direction, and let the real moments happen.

Experienced

I’ve been photographing people for more than 20 years. I know when to guide, when to wait, and how to find the little moments you might not even notice happening.

A Place to Wander

Come to my farm in Bristol, where we can photograph your family among the fields, gardens and changing seasons; with plenty of room for kids to move, explore and just be themselves.

Come to the Farm

Family Sessions can take place right here on my farm in Bristol, with fields, woods and gardens that change throughout the seasons. It’s relaxed, private and gives kids plenty of room to wander, play and be themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your session includes our time together, help choosing a location and preparing for your session, and a gallery of professionally edited high-resolution images. You’ll be able to download your favourites, share them with family and print them wherever you like.

Most family sessions last around an hour, but I don’t watch the clock too closely. Some families need a little more time to warm up and others are finished sooner. The goal is to give us enough time that nobody feels rushed.

Sessions can take place here at my farm in Bristol, Quebec, where we have fields, woods and gardens that change throughout the seasons, or at another favourite location around the Pontiac. I’m also happy to travel to Ottawa and beyond but additional fees will apply.

Wear something that feels like you. I generally recommend coordiating rather than matching and choosing colors and textures that work well togther without everyone wearing the same thing. Once your session is booked, I’m happy to help with clothing choices.

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too. Just let me know ahead of time so we can choose a location and plan the session with them in mind.

We’ll keep an eye on the forecast as your session approaches. If the weather isn’t going to cooperate, we’ll make the call together and reschedule if necessary. A little cloud or imperfect weather doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t make beautiful photographs.

Your finished photographs will be delivered in a private online gallery where you can view, download and share them. Galleries are normally delivered within 2 to 3 weeks.

Yes! Grandparents, cousins and the whole crew are welcome. Larger extended-family sessions may require additional time and are priced accordingly, so send me a message with the size of your group and I’ll put together a custom quote.

Send me a message through the contact form and tell me a little about your family and what you’re envisioning. We’ll choose a date and location and I’ll take care of the rest.
