for the days you wish you could bottle up and keep forever.

 

 

relaxed, natural family & lifestyle photography in Ottawa + surrounding areas for the ones who want photographs that feel like them.

 

remember what this season actually felt like

The messy hair. The tiny hands. The way they run into your arms. The belly laughs and the quiet moments in between. You don't have to know what to do in front of the camera. My sessions are relaxed, playful and completely centered around your family as you are right now. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but most of the time, I’m just there to hang out, notice the little things and photograph them as they naturally unfold. No need for perfect outfits, perfectly behaved kids or a perfectly posed family. You just need to show up as you are.

We absolutely love our experiences with Vanessa! She has such a beautiful eye for capturing natural, genuine moments and her style is absolutely stunning. She makes our family feel so comfortable and the photos always turn out better than we can ever imagine.

We had a mini session with Vanessa, and it was amazing!! My husband hates getting photographed but she made it go so smoothly & quick! Our little one was also a huge fan of V! Bonus- the photos were STUNNING.
