Something new | Ottawa Family Photographer

January 6, 2010

This shoot was another first for me.  It was a special shoot which reminded me of just how much I enjoy getting to learn the details about people.

I was contacted by Carrie to capture her family in the house that she grew up in. The focus was on capturing her father – both as an individual and in his relationships with his family. In the few hours that I was at their house I got to learn about a father, a pilot, a woodworker, a comedian, an organizer, a gardener, a reader, a loving grandfather, husband and a kind and patient man (among many many more roles…). This man is adored by his family.

This shoot was so special to me. I left inspired to think about what ways we can make our mark on the world and those around us.

Thank you Carrie and family for the opportunity to capture your fun and outgoing family.  It was a perfect way to spend a morning.
