Ottawa Family Photography

Family sessions can take place either outdoors or in a client’s home. Sessions that take place in your home are in a more candid approach – snuggling together and reading on the couch, jumping and playing in the sheets in a bedroom, baking cookies in the kitchen, or playing a game. Session booked for outside are at a location based on what type of setting you’re looking for. This can be in a lifestyle approach, posed or a lovely mix of both. My goal is for your session to be as stress free for you as possible and filled with fun and laughter. Children can explore our locations and experience the environment around them – this helps reveal the natural flow of your family and real captures of your children as they are. I aim to photograph images of the individual children, siblings together, full family pictures, as well as just the parents.

“We connected with Michele to take family photos in honour of my Dad’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience! Michele gave helpful direction in preparing for the day (i.e., location ideas, wardrobe recommendations) and she was a pleasure to work with! It felt like we were all just enjoying a nice stroll together, with photos interspersed, and they turned out beautifully. Michele was flexible with taking shots of any groupings we requested, and was especially patient with our three dogs, who looked so great in the photos! Michele had a quick turn-around time, too, for sharing the photos and final products with us. We were impressed and really pleased with how everything turned out - thank you Michele!!”
