The Riley Family A First Birthday Session in Ottawa South

The Rileys contacted me in April wanting to do a first birthday portrait session with their daughter, Lia. I love it when parents want to be part of images with their children when they’re growing up. In between the hundreds of pictures that my mom took of me as a kid, it’s the ones that have her and my dad in them that mean the most to me. And they’re few and far between!

We met at 7:30am on a Saturday. The time (or earlier!) is perfect for families with small children because kids are often fresh at that time of day, and the light is still soft like it is in the evening! During summer, it’s also not too hot yet, so everyone is comfortable. The Rileys live in Barrhaven like me, so we decided to stay fairly local in the south end of Ottawa, near Manotic. Lia was phenomenal the whole session! What a happy baby! Her dress came all the way from Europe thanks to proud grandparents, and it was so sweet.

Melissa and Marc, I loved meeting you guys and watching you play and interact with Lia. I hope you love the images as much as I do!
