About You

Wait, about you? Most photographers start with an About Me section…

When you connect with your photographer on a personal level, every smile, every laugh, and every tender moment becomes an authentic reflection of your family’s unique bond. From the playful antics of your toddler to the tender embraces of a newborn, it’s these candid moments, expertly captured by someone who truly ‘gets’ you, that transform ordinary photographs into cherished memories to be treasured for a lifetime.

That is why we start with About You. After all, these are portraits of you and your family, not me.

If any of those made you say “Yes, that’s me”, Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
With over 15 years of experience as both a mom and a photographer, I’ve got your back every step of the way. From picking out the perfect outfits to make your family shine, to ensuring everyone feels at ease during the shoot, right down to helping you select the absolute best images from your personalized gallery, consider me your go-to guide through this exciting journey!

Meet Kathy

Hi, I’m Kathy – the one behind the lens.

I specialize in photographing kids being completely themselves – joyful, messy, curious, and full of personality. I’m here for the real smiles, the belly laughs, the shy glances, and the tiny in-between moments that make up childhood.

My sessions are relaxed, low-pressure, and all about connection. Whether your little one is feeling silly, serious, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them where they are – and capture them just as they are.

If you leave your session saying, “That was actually fun,” then I’ve done my job.

I’ve always been the person who notices the little things – how your child lights up when you say their name, the quiet way they hold your hand, the smirk they make when they’re trying not to laugh.

Photography lets me bottle those feelings up into something you can hold onto. Not just what your child looks like right now, but who they are.

I’m based in Kanata, and I photograph families from all over Ottawa and beyond. When I’m not editing photos or chasing good light, you’ll find me chasing my own kid around the playground, drinking iced coffee, or googling “how to get marker out of couch cushions.”

Client Testimonials

“I cannot recommend Kathy enough when it comes to photography! I have brought all three of my kids to her many times over the past 6 years. not only has she given our family some incredible newborn photos but she has also done family sessions and milestones for us as well. On top of her talent, she has a special way with calming babies (and toddlers) that allows for her to get the amazing photos she does. I will keep coming back to her time and again for her professionalism, expertise and overall beautiful demeanor .”
