Ottawa Newborn, Maternity + Family Photography

Professional photographer with over 15+ years experience

Hi! My name is Melissa, I am a professional photographer and provide photography services in the Ottawa and surrounding areas. Explore my website to see what I love doing most - capturing people's amazing life moments and experiences. I have over 15 year's experience as a photographer in weddings and family and over 10 years photographing and working with newborns.


My studio is a home-based studio located in Orleans, ON. The studio includes a comfortable sitting area for you and your family to relax throughout your session. It offers a variety of neutral backdrops and many props for your sessions!


Newborn sessions take place in my studio and offer a comfortable space for you to come relax and enjoy. Clients have plenty of props to choose from - from tiebacks, bonnets, ties, wraps, blankets, wood props/buckets/bowls. Full family + maternity sessions are my popular pick as they give you over an hour of coverage. These are offered throughout the year and can be booked in-studio or on location. Full sessions are laid back and give you lots of time to get all you desire.


During parts of the year I offer a family session marathon (Spring, Summer, Fall and Christmas). These are sessions priced at a discounted rate. Info for these are posted on social media via my Facebook page a month or so prior to the event, be sure to check it out by following me on Facebook. These sessions are structured with a time limit - but are an easy way to frequently update your family photos!

What clients are saying

Krystle + Dylan // Dunrobin ON

We met Melissa 5 years ago when we booked her for our daughter’s newborn session. We instantly felt comfortable and appreciated the patience and care Melissa put into our session (as well as her welcoming and cheerful personality!). We have been back for numerous other
sessions since (including another newborn session) and our family truly enjoys every single opportunity we have to work with Melissa. I am always amazed at how many beautiful photos we receive after each session.
