To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
- Ansel Adams WHO AM I?I am a freelance photographer in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. From natural to outlandish, I pride myself on creating a cutting edge look to flatter each unique face.I have done many types of photography over the years, though, I can say with certainty my passion for this work comes from people …personalities, moods and feelings. Those powerful and intangible things that elicit emotion and reaction from the viewer. The things that separate snapshots from photographs; things that appeal to more than our sense of sight and encapsulate a feeling to open later and re-experience… to share with loved ones.

The amount of images taken can be anywhere from 60-100 depending upon the session. We do not count exposures but instead, take the time to achieve the imagery you are looking for. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO A BOUDOIR SESSION? 4 to 5 outfits are recommended but there is no limit. You may want to bring additional options to see what works best for you that day. Always bring more than you think you need because you never know what you might decide to wear at the last minute. Remember you can easily accessorize your bra and panty outfit with thigh high tights, garter belts, jewelry, robes, etc. You may want to bring something that belongs to your man: his jersey, dress shirt, ties, favorite hats, hunting attire, what ever he loves would make a wicked addition to your shoot. Remember to bring lots of accessories and sexy shoes to go with some of your outfits. At the start of the session we will go over what you brought and make the selections together. I will bring my experience in styling to assist you in your choices. If you feel that you made awesome choices then we will put them together and make sure we get them all done! Bring something white and strapless if you are uncomfortable topless for the implied nudity shots. WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR FOR A PROTRAIT SESSION? When photographing two or more people in a portrait session, keep the clothing similar in tone, even if the colours are different. This will help with the overall tonality of the portrait and ensure that one of the subjects does not dominate because his or her clothing is lighter. Try to avoid a mix of formal and informal clothing as it is best to keep the clothing similar in style. Choose either formal or casual. Avoid logos on clothing if possible as it is found distracting in a photo. For simplicity, you cannot beat jeans and a white T-shirt. WHAT OTHER KINDS OF SESSIONS DO YOU DO? Engagement Family Cake Smash Maternity New Born Personal Portraits ARE YOU ABLE TO REMOVE IMPERFECTIONS FROM THE IMAGES? It is no problem to remove the superficial spots and scratches that are an everyday occurrence in children's lives. WHO HAS COPYRIGHT TO THE IMAGES, AND CAN I BUY THE PHOTOGRAPHS ON A DISC?
