WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT MY PICTURES
I want them to feel the way they do
when they want to read a line of Poetry twice.

A few notes about sessions:
Sessions typically take place at a ‘Favourite location’ or in ‘Your home'
I am a natural light, editorial style shooter. My preference when shooting is to work with as much natural light as possible to create fun and innovative imagery that captures the life-force of your family. Once time of day is established we then choose a favourite location to truly capture happy memories. I'm always happy to offer ideas and suggestions for location, wardrobe & props to truly put together the best photo experience for you and your family.

Family Portfolios
Be inspired with this curated collection of my favourite family moments, separated by the iconic seasons we have the privilege of witnessing in Ottawa Spring / Summer & Fall / Winter.
Ranging in age from maternity to our beloved grandparents in multigenerational sessions.
'When you look back, everything is different'
“Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different.”

MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER
“Annemarie creates such a fun and comfortable environment, you forget you are doing a photo shoot and it feels more like hanging out with close friends.
She is open-minded and truly understands what her clients are looking for. Her creativity and passion for her work allow her to capture real emotion and life in her photography.
Annemarie is more than a photographer to us, she is a friend we can count on to preserve every beautiful memory for the rest of our lives. We are so lucky to have her!”

DO YOU SHOOT MINI's AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, OTHER THAN NEAR YOUR STUDIO?
YES - and no. A few times a year when seasons change, and are at peak beauty moments I do travel and plan mini days at more iconic locations throughout the region. Sign up for our mailing list, to be in the know when their being planned.
DO YOU WORK ALONE?
For lifestyle family session, it's a 1:1 experience. This said, hair and makeup artists are always welcome team mates for the ladies who want a more polished look. Happy to organize this for you.
HOW QUICKLY WILL THE PICTURES BE READY?
Sessions are usually fully edited and online in your personal galleries within two weeks of our session date. Sometimes sooner!!! Final digital images are ready for downloading within three business days of you choosing your favourites.
GEOGRAPHICALLY WERE DO YOU WORK?
Ottawa and Gatineau Valley is currently home base, but I LOVE a good adventure so if there is somewhere near or far that would be the perfect setting, I will travel!
DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?
Depending on the bundle you've booked travel will be included. Travel expenses will be agreed prior to booking so there are no hidden surprises. If you’re within an hour or so of Ottawa I’m sure we will have no problem trecking out to find that magical location.
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?
You've decided on my studio to capture your family memories!
We start with a consultation to establish the details; location, props, wardrobe & timing. Then we make it official with a contract outlining the details and deliverables. Once the contract is signed we are officially booked!
