Cherishing Summer Memories: An Gorgeous Family Session in Ottawa
As December settles in and we embrace the coziness of the holiday season, I find myself looking back at the warmth and beauty of summer. While I’ve been busy with festive Christmas sessions, I’m thrilled to finally share highlights from a gorgeous family session this past summer, set in the natural beauty of Ottawa.
This session was a perfect reminder of why family photography is so meaningful. Families often tell me how much they cherish their photos when their children are little, but as kids grow older—and life grows busier—it can feel harder to prioritize these moments. Yet, as this family proved, it’s every bit as important to capture the essence of your family at every stage.
We spent the session surrounded by vibrant greenery, golden light filtering through the trees, and laughter that echoed in the air. Whether it was a playful sibling moment, a quiet snuggle, or a candid smile exchanged between parents, the love and connection were undeniable. These are the memories that become treasures.
Even when kids grow older and sometimes resist the idea of photos (I get it—teens and tweens can be tough critics!), these sessions are still so valuable. Years from now, you’ll be glad you took the time to document this chapter. Capturing the personality, quirks, and bonds of a family in this way creates a gift that only grows more meaningful as time passes.
To this wonderful family: thank you for trusting me with your memories. I hope these photos remind you of the joy and beauty of your summer days together. And to anyone considering a family session, I encourage you to make it a priority—even if your kids are a little older or life feels hectic. You won’t regret having these moments preserved.
