Ottawa Family Photographer | Wandering through the Neighborhood

October 25, 2011

I’ve said it many times on my blog, but I’ll keep repeating it – I love having clients that become regulars! I first met Tara, Darren, Keegan and Finn last year for this shoot. This time, they requested a (fully clothed) session that captured them wandering through their neighborhood. Tara’s parents also joined us. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon – we got to wander and chat, stop and take photos, play around on scooters and have crawling races. This family is so much fun to be with – I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to hang out with them and capture their connection.

Darren and Tara – thank you so much for having me back to capture your family. I enjoy chatting travel and running with you (I finally got a “runner’s wave” this weekend!). Keegan and Finn are such sweet, fun loving and adventurous boys. I was especially touched by what a sweet big brother Keegan is – I can tell that Finn adores him too! They have a special bond and I hope I get to continue following them as they grow up! Enjoy your sneak peek! I’ll be in touch very soon with your gallery!

Darren Cates posted the following on October 25, 2011 at 10:58 pm.

Seeing as I am the father of these two wonderful boys and the lucky husband of the beautiful woman in the one photo, I am a bit biased. However, Jenn has a magical ability to capture true emotions in a fun way. Having our photos taken byu her is a blast and the results are trult incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (and thanks everyone else for your kind comments about our family). Jenn – you rock!

Tara posted the following on October 25, 2011 at 11:04 pm.

You know when you have those days, the logistics may be different, but the feelings are the same… Today, I was traveling, awake in the hotel at 5:30am, challenging customer meeting, missed flight home, back in Ottawa office to take a late night video conference, chastised at work, oldest son is working hard; but feels he is falling behind, baby is teething, husband out of town, wonderful mother and father probably sick of looking after their near 40 year old daughter, I cannot find my internal compass… and then I see these, with tears in my eyes… my family, my reason for working, even more importantly, my reason for being, the essence of why I am at peace, and Jenn captures what is best in my life with such clarity. Jenn, I thank you for the gift of remembering why….

Ottawa Family Photographer | Beautiful Fall Light

October 19, 2011

I knew when Janet and I finally met we were going to get along. She contacted me back in August to book a fall family session because it is her favourite time of year. I had so much fun planning out the details with her of where we would go and what they would wear (she did an awesome job dressing her family!). We booked the session for the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend – not knowing that this was going to be a REALLY warm fall and the leaves would not have turned in all of my favourite spots. We didn’t want green!

The night before our shoot I went on a little reconnaissance mission to find us some fall colours and I stumbled upon this place. The lighting was so gorgeous and the colours were perfect! I was so excited to find this perfect spot for their family session. We had so much fun during this session – tickling, giggling, throwing leaves, pushing jogging strollers through makeshift trails and attempting to feed birds. Lauren was adorable and didn’t need any direction for posing for the camera and sweet little Ethan was content to sit in a pile of leaves and explore!

Thank you Janet and Marc for having me out to capture your family at this beautiful time of year! I’m thrilled with what we have created! Enjoy your sneak peek – I’ll be in touch with your gallery soon!

Sarah posted the following on October 19, 2011 at 11:48 pm.

Ottawa Newborn Photographer | Very girly

October 15, 2011

I love getting the call from past clients that they are expecting again! Karl, Miranda, Ben and I had a great time 2 years ago at Ben’s newborn session (in fact, Ben was the poster child for Jennifer Boggett Photography for a while!). His session can be found here.

Kate is the newest addition to this wonderful family and I can already see some personality traits coming out! She is squeaky just like her brother – when I changed her position she would let out a little squeak and then settle down again. She was also quite assertive ( a trait I love!) – she let me know very calmly which poses she would and wouldn’t be put into. If I curled her up and she didn’t like it, she would calmly uncurl and settle down. It wouldn’t matter how many times I tried! When she was comfy – she would stay put as long as I needed her too. She is a sweet, snuggly little thing and I enjoyed our morning together so much!

Chatting with Karl and Miranda and playing outside with Ben added even more enjoyment to my morning. This is a fun, interesting family with a wonderful sense of humour. There were lots of laughs! The session ended with a good giggle about the “girly” piddle that was left on the blanket by Kate. Heart shaped, how sweet is that?

Thank you Karl and Miranda for having me over again! I always enjoy our conversations and your sense of humour! Enjoy your sneak peek! I’ll be in touch with the rest of your gallery soon.

Ottawa Baby Photographer| Pink Exercise Balls and Flowers

September 17, 2011

I met little Jake and his parents the day that he turned one month. As most photographers will tell you, it’s hard to predict what a session with a one month old will be like as they aren’t quite as “bendy” and they are starting to be more alert. Jake’s parents and I agreed that we would just follow his lead and see what we got! I love that we focused mostly on captures with Jake and his parents in these as these are always my favourites from a session.

I was introduced to the magic pink exercise ball this session. At one point during the session it was obvious that Jake was tired but he was having a difficult time getting to sleep. His Mom scooped him up, snuggled him and sat and bounced on the ball. Almost immediately he calmed down and closed his eyes. Something that puts your child to sleep while giving you a workout?! I’ll take two!

The other little story that stands out from this session happened while I was taking photos of Jake and his mother. I went to the window to arrange the curtains and peeked in the backyard. Jake’s dad was back there, with a vase, picking flowers. Apparently he does this often. I thought about what a sweet model this was for Jake as he grows up. Even during busy, somewhat chaotic times (as it can be with a new baby in the house), it’s important to take part in little tasks that we enjoy. When we arrived back downstairs, this was sitting on the table (love the colours!):

Thank you Jake, Aimy and Ian for the wonderful morning. I have enjoyed getting to know you and I can’t wait for you to see your full gallery! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sarah posted the following on September 17, 2011 at 8:58 am.

As you know I was a little nervous as we were discussing doing more interactive shots with us and Jake and about being too critical on the pictures with me in it since I’m still carrying quite a bit of extra weight (for me) from the pregnancy but all that goes out the window when I see these intimate shots with my little man I’m so so happy to have these…

We can’t wait to see the rest of our gallary… thank you in advance for your work, you were so great to work with, you made it smooth and easy for us and you’ve given us a gift that we are sure to cherish for a lifetime

Merrickville Wedding Photographer | Surrounded

September 10, 2011

After the initial meeting with Steve and Deb I knew I REALLY wanted to shoot this wedding. It was on a relaxed Monday afternoon and only a few people knew about it. Their plan was to surprise their friends and colleagues once they returned home from their “holidays”. When we discussed what they wanted with their photography, they said “We trust you to do your thing. Capture the wedding as it happens”. I was excited!

When I sit down to write my blog posts I pick a detail or moment that sticks out in my mind. If I didn’t limit myself, I’d be writing novels for blog posts. The thing that struck me most about Deb and Steve were just how surrounded by love they were. There were less than 20 people at this wedding, and they all contributed little details to make the day memorable. Two “attachments” to their getaway car, large “congratulations” signs placed outside their house and on their balcony, a special guest book and a fireworks show – these were all put together (with minimal planning time!) by their friends. Love and friendship was the focus of the day and I felt so honoured to be a part of it.

Deb and Steve – I have enjoyed all of the time we have spent together discussing the details, planning the album and hearing your honeymoon stories. I hope we get the chance to work together again in the future! You two are lucky to have each other and I am so happy we met. I hope you enjoy your blog post (finally!).

Deb and Steve posted the following on September 10, 2011 at 10:26 pm.

It was such a joy to share our day with you, Jennifer. Thank you for capturing our special day so well! You are a star and we are thrilled to have met you. We have received many compliments about your photographs, but most important is that we love the treasures you have given us.
You are an amazing photographer and have a wonderful spirit.

Warmest regards and appreciation,
Deb and Steve

Ottawa Graduation Photographer | Friendships and New Beginnings

August 20, 2011

We live for the nights we’ll never forget with the friends we’ll always remember – Author Unknown

This shoot made me nostalgic!

I was asked to photograph a pre-prom graduation party so the families could relax and enjoy the awesome spread that they put on. This was a GOOD LOOKING bunch who were full of energy and had put a lot of work into making this evening unforgettable – gorgeous dresses, beautiful flowers, wish balloons, a massive limo/bus, impeccable hairstyles etc etc. The details were fun to capture, but my favourite part of the assignment was capturing the friendships. These girls have a special bond, and it was an honour to be there to capture it.

Sarah, Melissa and Breanna – thank you so much for having me over to capture this special time. I hope you look back at these photos 50 years from now and remember the laughs and great memories. Good luck to all of you as you start your next adventures!

Tiffany Bender posted the following on August 20, 2011 at 12:39 am.

Kemptville Newborn Photographer | My new business partner

July 21, 2011

I’m hoping that little Ava is going to be my new business partner. She’s going to teach me exactly what tricks worked for this session to make it go so well so I can remember to do exactly that at every newborn session! The only downside to a baby that follows the schedule so well is that I don’t get much snuggle time!

She was alert and awake at the beginning and happily took part in family shots. She then had a little snack and was peacefully snuggled to sleep. For the first time ever, I had to call the end of the session – she slept through everything! Being swaddled, being unswaddled, soiling my blankets, being moved from basket to beanbag, being snuggled, being posed on her Daddy’s John Deer, being posed under a tree…..she didn’t budge!

Thank you to Ava’s parents and her wonderful big sister for such a peaceful morning. I enjoyed chatting with you! Looking forward to seeing you again at our ordering session!

Amber posted the following on July 21, 2011 at 11:35 pm.

Jennifer, we had such a good time doing this photo session with you. We did not know what to expect as this was the first time we ever did a photo session but we all came out of it having loved the experience. You must have the secret baby touch as Ava was peaceful with all the beautiful poses you placed her in. These will make wonderful memories. After our session, Briana took out her camera and started doing “professional photography”. She had our dog Fury swaddled in blankets and had her sheet back drop with pillows etc. Poor dog made a run for his life when I opened Briana’s bedroom door to see what was going on. I guess Fury does not make as good of a photo subject as Ava does. Thanks again for a wonderful and comfortable experience. We will definitely ask you to do this again for some family pictures in a couple years, minus the pooping and peeing this time
Melissa, Jason, Briana, Ava and Fury.

Ottawa Family Photographer | Magic Light

July 12, 2011

You have to love when you get an email from a potential client talking about light. Tamara described the type of light she loved and why she loved it. It was the whole inspiration for this shoot and I’m excited for her to see this sneak peek!

This family was so relaxed and into the whole process of the shoot – even with the mosquitoes and muggy summer night’s air. The kids were excited to explore, run through fields, pose a bit and sneak off to share a bag of gummies. While we played, I made a joke about stealing their snacks to make them laugh and run away. Instead of running away, on several occasions they would come dashing across the the field to share with me. How sweet is that?

Tamara and Kohji – thank you so much for inviting me to take your family’s photos! I love what we have created! I’ll be in touch soon with your gallery!

Amber posted the following on July 12, 2011 at 11:37 pm.

Ottawa Family Photographer | Jumping and sliding!

July 3, 2011

I’ve said it before, my favourite captures are ones that capture a person’s true personality and real moments. These two gorgeous girls were so full of energy, ideas, opinions on what we should shoot and where we should do it. Favourite stuffies were pulled in for captures (as were stuffies that were newly resurrected as favourites). We jumped on beds and couches. We gazed out windows. We ran around the hallways. We went on slides (well, they did…). We climbed up rocks. We went swinging on bars. We searched for crackers. We also sat quietly, played with balloons and watched Dora.

Thank you H family for an energy filled morning! I feel very lucky to have had the chance to get to get to know your beautiful girls and their vibrant personalities. Playing and running with your children was the perfect start to a weekend – I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you all!

Kara posted the following on July 3, 2011 at 2:31 pm.

What a fun session! Love these Jen!!

CJ Wilkes posted the following on July 3, 2011 at 2:41 pm.

These are so girly and playful! Perfect “Jennifer Boggett” captures! You really know how to capture the essence of a person Jenn! I LOVE the shot of the little girl laying her head on the bed…those blue eyes…to die for! Awesome as always!

You are a rare talent Jenn! I adore your sessions like these! This is exactly how parents want to look back on their childhood. Well done my friend!

Jennifer posted the following on July 4, 2011 at 8:13 am.

We love the sneak preview. I think it really captures my girls’ personalities. You’d never know from the results how hard you had to work to get my little one to participate. The pictures seem to sparkle because she’s doing exactly what she wants to do (minus eating crackers)! My older daughter I’m sure will come up with some new ideas for where we should shoot the next time you come back…

Tessa Linden posted the following on July 4, 2011 at 11:30 am.

What a fun session with a couple of sweet girls. I love how you’ve captured their spirit and childhood. I’m sure these images will be treasured as they grow up!

Ottawa Wedding Photographer| It’s a wedding y’all! (Atlanta, GA)

June 20, 2011

It was a love of travel that got me into photography in the first place so now when I get to photograph a wedding AND travel, I feel so lucky! This year has been a great one for work and travel! This trip took me to Atlanta, GA and Baldwin County, AL. I had NO idea that the beaches were so beautiful in Alabama…and the food is pretty incredible too! I got to try “real” sweet tea and hushpuppies for the first time (I highly recommend the hushpuppies!) Thank you to the incredibly talented Aimee Reynolds of Aimee Reynold’s Photography for hosting us for an awesome girl’s weekend!

I shot this wedding with the amazing Sarah Bezila of Berry Tree Photography. It was such a joy to get to hang out with her for the day – she is SO energetic, so much fun and insanely good at what she does! It was also a pleasure to meet L’Shea and Jesse. They were such a laid back and fun loving couple. I loved the details of the wedding (can you tell that L’Shea’s favourite colour is pink?) and that they were up for anything. Thank you, Sarah, for the fabulous weekend!
