An Autumn Family Session with the Belaire Family

Autumn has a way of wrapping everything in warmth—crisp air, golden leaves, and the soft glow of the afternoon sun. There’s no better time for a family session, and this one with the Belaire family was truly special.

Marcus, Stephanie, and their sweet daughter Everly welcomed me to their home in Haley Station, a place filled with love and surrounded by the beauty of fall. As a photographer, I always enjoy capturing authentic family moments, but this session meant even more to me because Stephanie is my sister. Documenting these memories for my own family made it all the more meaningful.

Everly was full of energy and wonder, exploring the yard, playing in the leaves, and running into her parents' arms for the sweetest snuggles. She twirled in her cozy sweater dress and giggled as she tossed leaves into the air—her joy was absolutely contagious.

Stephanie and Marcus were naturals in front of the camera, sharing quiet moments, laughter, and plenty of love. Their connection is effortless—full of kindness, warmth, and just the right amount of playful teasing. It’s clear they are not only wonderful partners but also incredible parents.

The autumn light cast a dreamy golden hue over the entire session, making every shot feel cozy and timeless. Their home, nestled among the vibrant fall foliage, was the perfect backdrop for capturing these heartfelt moments. The rust-colored leaves, warm embraces, and genuine smiles created a session that felt straight out of a storybook.

Family sessions like this remind me why I love photography—freezing these fleeting moments, capturing the laughter, the quiet handholds, and the love that makes a house a home. Stephanie, Marcus, and Everly, thank you for letting me document your beautiful family in such a meaningful place. I can’t wait for you to look back on these memories for years to come!

If you're thinking about booking your own fall family session, now is the perfect time! Let’s capture your family’s love against the stunning backdrop of The Ottawa Valley’s beauty.
