Ottawa Fall Family Session
Clients often ask us “when is a good time/age for family photos?” We always tell them “it’s always a good time!” With the beat of life being as hectic as it is these days, families have so much going on that often, taking a moment to capture important milestones may get put on the back burner.
This beautiful family came to us over the fall for their outdoor family session and we enjoyed every moment with them! We are so glad we were able to capture these beautiful family photos before their son sprouts up to six feet tall and refuses to cuddle with his younger sister for a photo. Lol! Because, as we all know, life happens in the blink of an eye !
Scroll down to see the beautiful gallery style framed photos we created for their home. We do everything from print to framing in house!

E & D’s Ottawa Engagement Session
You may have noticed that we have two Instagram accounts. Although the purpose is not as important to us now, it did at the time when we created our accounts. We love a nicely curated Instagram account but we noticed that since our main Instagram account mostly consists of light and airy images, some of our darker images weren’t being shared! We essentially had a hard time mixing our darker images with our light and airy images. So we created two Instagram accounts to accentuate both styles; one designated to our light & pastel images and a second account for our darker images.
This engagement shoot is a perfect example of how we typically achieve both looks when we photograph our clients. Whether it comes to family sessions, engagement sessions, portrait sessions or weddings, we will typically explore both options. We love our bright, soft and airy-feel signature images, however, we equally love to take advantage of the dramatic lighting by exposing for the low lights.
We often feel an internal struggle to stick to one look and brand ourselves as “one style” but the reality is that we truly enjoy capturing both looks.

Studio Lifestyle Family Session
This little cutie is what we now refer to as a “Covid baby”! Yes, he was born during the Covid19 pandemic when lock-downs didn’t allow families to come in with their newborn for baby sessions. By the time the restrictions eased, this little guy no longer fit in our newborn props. His big sister however, had to test our props and managed to squeeze herself in our newborn Moses basket. Although our focus was on him and family photos, this little beauty certainly stole the show! What else are big sisters there for ? 😛

WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Let’s celebrate and empower women in business! We had the opportunity to photograph this amazing soul and was so inspired by her courage, her tenacity, her energy and her creativity; oh, and we can not forget to mention her impeccable sense of style!
We first captured these images of Jessica Houle when she was at the earlier stage of innovating her new product : All In Order. She has created an innovative way for us to organize all our important documents; making it easy for loved ones to find our most important and treasured information when needed. Her product consists of a beautiful, slick black, Legacy Box which facilitates the daunting task of organizing our most significant documents such as will(s), property details, important contracts, etc..
Jessica Houle is not only the creator of All In Order, she is first and foremost a lawyer who specializes in helping individuals and small business owners to organize their affairs so they can focus on what they love and what fulfills them most. You can inquire about her high quality services by visiting her website at: JH Legal Services
If you are looking for a branding session, we’re here for you! We’d love to brainstorm and design a creative photo shoot which will serve as a extension of you, your service and/or your product.
Your Ottawa Photographers,
Guy & Joelle Martin

MEGAN & DON – Le Belvédère Wedding
Like many couples, Megan & Don’s wedding plans were impacted by Covid19 but postponing to next summer wasn’t an option! Their goal of being united was the priority and with it came their willingness to adjust their expectations.
They initially had their hearts set on a early summer wedding at the Belvedere in Wakefield, QC but they quickly realized that their wedding would require being slightly postponed to the early fall of 2020. Lucky for them, they managed to secure a back up date with the Belvédère in September 2020.
Megan got ready in the Garden House which is foot steps away from the Belvédère’s main wedding venue. This beautiful light and airy home features an abundant of natural light, along with makeup and hair stations, a fully equipped kitchen and a large cozy living room. Don opted to get ready in the main cottage on site, which is equally as beautiful and a pleasure to photograph. Another great thing about Le Belvédère is they are constantly updating their facilities and transforming them in to photo-friendly environments. To our surprise, the main cottage’s furniture had all been updated and everything looked great. The consistency in style and ambiance between their different facilities makes for a cohesive look throughout the wedding day. It is always a joy for us to capture our couple’s Belvédère weddings! We love challenging ourselves to discover new angles and photo opportunities, making sure we offer every couple a unique wedding day photography coverage.
Their ceremony was held outside, featuring the classic Le Belvédère view and amenities and the guests cried, cheered and smiled with joy as Megan and Don tied the knot. Social distancing was full effect, tears of joy were shed, words of wisdom and love were shared, masks were worn; a true 2020 pandemic wedding!
As we all adjust to the new “normal”, Megan and Don’s wedding is a perfect example that having a pandemic wedding doesn’t mean compromising on picture perfect! 😉
