Portraits
Google Maps is great. We spent an afternoon location scouting here in Ottawa and while trying to find a forest, we stumbled upon something way cooler. A mysterious beige blob. When we showed up we were super surprised to find out it was actually sand dunes. In the middle of the forest. No lake to be found.
Also a super cool tree.
At the end of October we got together with Daria and Jared to take some maternity photos.
We ended the session assuming it would be another month till we got together again to take some photos of their new baby girl. Boy were we all wrong! Four days later - their little girl was ready to see the world! Here are some of the photos from their newborn session.
Today it snowed for the first time this year in Ottawa. I had some gear in the back seat of my car so we pulled over onto a side street on our way to Pho (the best thing to have on a wintery day) . We were starving so we didn't want to take long. I quickly threw a flash onto a stand and put a bag over it to keep it dry using the elastic from Katriina's hair to keep the bag on. I set the flash up behind Katriina to light the snow and used a low aperture to get the snow to make the snow light up in little balls of out of focus light (Bokeh).
