About me
Hi, I’m Sierra, a bilingual (French and English) lifestyle photographer based in Ottawa.
What started as a way to hold onto the fleeting moments in my own life quickly turned into something much bigger: helping others feel seen in theirs.
I’m drawn to real connection, golden light, and the quiet magic in everyday moments, whether it’s a maternity shoot full of anticipation, a goofy walk with your dog, or a cozy couple’s session at sunset.
My approach is relaxed, heartfelt, and honest. I’ll guide you just enough, while leaving space for you to just be you.
If that sounds like your pace, I’d be so happy to work together.
My gear
I shoot with the Canon R5 Mark II — a top-of-the-line mirrorless camera trusted by professional photographers around the world. Paired with my collection of premium RF and L-series lenses, this setup allows me to capture every little detail with stunning sharpness, beautiful depth, and accurate color — whether we’re chasing golden hour, shooting in shaded forest trails, or catching quick moments in between poses.
Your memories deserve the best — and my gear helps make sure they’re preserved that way.
My vision
Photography is more than just pictures to me — it’s about capturing connection, emotion, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. Whether it’s a quiet glance between partners, a child running toward their parent, or friends laughing mid-sentence, I want your photos to feel real, heartfelt, and timeless.
This isn’t just a service — it’s a story we tell together.
What to expect
From the moment you inquire to the final gallery delivery, I want this to feel easy, enjoyable, and personalized.
Here’s how it typically goes:
- Booking: Once we settle on a date and package, I’ll send you a simple form to confirm everything — including a few questions to better understand your vision.
- Prep: Before your session, I’ll guide you through what to wear, how to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and what to expect. If location scouting is involved, I’ll do the research so you don’t have to.
- The Session: I’ll gently direct you with natural prompts and poses; no stiff smiles or awkward moments. You’ll just focus on being present while I focus on capturing you beautifully.
- Gallery Delivery: Within 4-6 weeks, you’ll receive a curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images ready for download, sharing, and printing.
Throughout it all, I’m here to make sure you feel confident, relaxed, and seen.
My editing process
I don’t just snap and send. Every image you receive is thoughtfully selected and professionally edited by me — one by one. My editing style leans toward natural tones and soft light: warm, clean, and true to the moment. I balance color, lighting, and contrast to highlight the emotion in each frame without overdoing it.
You’ll receive high-resolution, print-ready files that feel like you — just through my lens.
Why Clients book me
Clients often tell me they book me because they want photos that feel like them — nothing forced, nothing awkward, just real connection captured in a natural, beautiful way.
They appreciate:
- My warm and calming presence behind the camera
- How I gently guide posing without over-directing
- The care I take in editing, storytelling, and communication
- That I truly listen to what they want and deliver beyond their expectations
- The mix of professional quality and genuine emotion in every gallery
Whether it’s a big milestone or a quiet everyday moment, I’m here to help you remember it just the way it felt.
