When Judy first contacted us about doing her children’s portraits in Ottawa for her yearly christmas cards, we were totally psyched. Judy wanted to do the shoot in fall at her home in the serene and peaceful Greely near Ottawa, Ontario.

On the day of the shoot, though the forecasts promised rain, we headed over to Judy’s place taking our chances as it would have been too cold to reschedule for fall this year. Luckily, it didn’t rain at all.

As soon as we pulled up outside Judy’s house, we could see two little heads just jumping up and down. Before we had a chance to get out of the car and collect our bags and equipment, Sean and Sarah were already standing in the porch dressed in white shirts and jeans wearing big smiles. Moments later we were all standing in the backyard where Sean and Sarah, wasting no time, immediately began showcasing their stunts on the swingset all proud and beaming. For example, they can both jump off the swings, mid-air and, here’s the tricky part, make a very cool landing. Note to self: must try this on an adult sized swingset, when no one’s watching.

We were supposed to stay there for an hour, but we just had so much fun with Sean and Sarah that we ended up staying a little over two hours. Surprisingly, no one, including Sean and Sarah, got tired or bored and we came home with tons of pictures. Literally, tons.

Here are some of our favourite children’s portraits from this session.
