Ottawa Family Photography Sessions & Pricing
A Guided Family Photography Experience
Your family, right now, and exactly as you are.
Family sessions in Ottawa for the mom who knows this phase won't last and wants proof that it happened. Real moments, not rehearsed ones.
Right now, your family looks exactly like this. The ages they are, the phase you're in, the chaos and the closeness all tangled together. It won't look like this for long.
That's not meant to make you sad — it's meant to make you want photos of it. Not perfect photos. Real ones. The ones where someone's mid-laugh and someone else is looking the wrong way and it's somehow still the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.
I'm not a "everyone line up and smile" photographer. Yes, we will get the formal picture but I'm much more interested in what happens when you're all just together — walking, chasing, piling on top of each other, doing the thing your family actually does. I'll guide you through it, keep things moving, and find the moments that feel like you. That's what you'll want to frame.
What to Expect
A relaxed, fully guided experience that meets your family exactly where you are. Every session is planned with intention and delivered as a complete gallery — candid moments alongside composed portraits, professionally edited to feel cohesive, warm, and real. No stiff lineups. Just your people, documented properly.
inquiry & booking
Reach out through my booking page or contact form. A signed agreement and retainer confirm your date. Outdoor sessions book quickly in spring and fall — earlier is better.
consultation call
We'll talk location, timing, what your kids are like, and what you actually want to hang on your wall. I'll share outfit guidance and tips for the day so everyone arrives ready — including the ones who said they didn't want photos ;)
your session
I guide the whole experience with prompts that feel natural, not staged. We move between portraits and real interactions — the way your kids pile on each other, the way you laugh together — and I'm capturing all of it. Meltdowns and all. Sometimes especially those.
your gallery
Your professionally edited gallery is delivered to a private online gallery — carefully curated, consistently edited, and ready to download or print. Wall art and print products are available directly through your gallery. Because phones get lost and walls don't.
The Family Experience
A family session should feel like your family — not a version of it cleaned up for the camera. Every session is guided, relaxed, and designed to tell your story at this exact moment in time. From the prep call to your finished gallery, the experience is as considered as the photos themselves.
Every Session Includes:
- Initial consultation call to plan your session with intention
- Personalized preparation & style guide
- Access to the client closet
- In-depth session prep consultation
- Private proofing gallery to select your favourite images
- Full printing rights for all delivered images
- Print credits toward wall art or keepsakes
- Option to add images beyond your collection
- Your choice of location — in-home, outdoor, or studio (studio rental fees apply)
- Referrals to trusted makeup artists
