Workshop - Ottawa Family Photographer

I love constantly learning new tips and techniques so decided to attend a workshop with the Professional Photographers of Canada on the weekend.  I had the pleasure of working with these adorable families...they did such a great job and the kids were so wonderful and patient and didn't mind being moved around!

Look at those outfits and handsome boys....so cute!

This family was so much fun!  I just love how they're cuddled in together and would like to try a shot like this with my own family some time soon!

Best Friends

I wish I was 12 again, it looks like so much fun!

Fall Mini Sessions, October 1st

It's hard to believe that Fall is almost upon us already!  The good news is that it's the perfect time to have portraits taken during one of Ottawa's prettiest and most photogenic months!  


Last year's Fall mini sessions were a great success so i've decided to offer them again this year.


You may be thinking....What is a mini session?!

Mini sessions are quick and casual!

• They're only 20 minutes in length and include 1- 8 x10" and 2- 5x7" prints
• They're only $100 (that's $120 off a regular session and prints)
• They're done at one specific location of my choosing.  The tentative location is a park in Kanata
• Receive approximately 10 proofs in your private online gallery.

There are limited spots available so please contact me as soon as possible at michelle@barbeau.net or 613-599-0839 to book your session

Sisters/Ottawa Children's Photographer

When I was little, I wished I had a sister and watching these two sisters brought back those feelings.  It must be nice to have someone to share clothing with, confide in and even fight with!  :)
