Amy Pinder Photography is an Ottawa photographer specializing in weddings, maternity, newborn and lifestyle photography.  Katie and Alex’s Stonefields Estate wedding is a day that I’ve been looking forward to for so long! When Katie first reached out to me to tell me of her engagement and to ask if I was available to be her wedding photographer, I dropped everything I was doing and ran straight to my calendar to check! I actually met Katie a few years back at Alisha and Matt‘s wedding and have kept in touch with her through social media ever since that day – in fact, I conside ..read more

Amy Pinder Photography is an Ottawa newborn photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, birth and lifestyle photography.  These bright and airy newborn photos at home in Kenzie and Olivia’s new-build seriously make my heart sing! I love nothing more than to keep in touch with my clients over the years, and it’s been the most surreal gift to be invited to photograph this family throughout some of their most major life milestones…from their engagement session, to their wedding, to their…second wedding (thanks COVID!)…to their maternity photos…to their newborn photos with th ..read more

Amy Pinder Photography is an Ottawa newborn photographer specializing in maternity and newborn lifestyle photography.  When I think of the things I love most in life, family comes first (obviously!)…but newborn photos and renovated farmhouses might just be tied for a close second! So imagine my excitement when I pulled up to Karen and Evan’s newborn session in Vars, to find that they lived in an absolutely stunning farmhouse with decades of history, charm, and family memories. I love that these lifestyle newborn photos allowed us to use Karen and Evan’s Vars farmhous ..read more

Horse ranch wedding photos with a burgundy colour and floral theme When I first heard about Kenzie’s parent’s property and Kenzie and Jay’s plans to celebrate their backyard wedding on their family’s horse farm, a vision of their day popped into my head. I imagined casual elegance, a pop-up tent, and quite obviously – after having met these two – a full-blown party with dancing and celebrations ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Wellllll, some of that was true (let me tell you right now, I have never seen a dance floor so packed with line dancers and people ready to have a good time)!…but boy, was I blo ..read more

Petrie Island maternity photos on a sandy beach in Ottawa It’s always a huge honour to be the photographer selected to take a couple’s maternity photos, let me tell you!…but when your next door neighbour is pregnant and asks you to take their maternity photos for them, well that’s a very special feeling! To say we’re excited to welcome a new baby boy to the neighbourhood is an understatement, and I simply cannot wait to watch Anders and Anabelle become parents. I can already imagine our kids playing and growing up together and it brings me so much joy to be sharing their beach maternity ..read more

Amy Pinder Photography is an Ottawa newborn photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, weddings and lifestyle photography.  If there’s ever been a newborn photoshoot that I’ve been to, where 2 total strangers felt like instant friends, this would be it! Only minutes after walking through the door, it was clear that this would be a super fun newborn session! We shared stories of our experiences with midwives, of our positive birth journeys, and of our lives after giving birth. There was even a moment where we got so deep in conversation that I almost forgot I was there to ..read more

In-home newborn photos in with 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs When I heard from Alison that she was pregnant and looking for an in-home newborn session following the birth of her daughter, my first thoughts were: 1) OMG yes! 2) can we please include your dogs? Haha, you see, Bernese Mountain Dogs are so indelibly tied to Alison and Jeremy’s identity as a couple, that it’s actually hard to see one of these dogs gentle giants now and not think of Alison and Jeremy! I’ve had the very great pleasure of meeting Bourbon and Kahlua a couple times now, first through Alison and Jeremy’s ..read more

Engagement photos on an old country road in Navan You know you’re going to get along great with a couple when one of the first things they say to you – after showing up to their abandoned backroad engagement session – is: “I swear we didn’t bring you out here to kill you”…haha! You guys, this was funny in the moment…but it gets funnier! I kid you not, not even 2 minutes later, while walking down the old country road, we stumbled across a gigantic animal corpse, just hanging for a tree…and I’m talking like, a meter long backbone, vertebrate and all, strung up in a cedar tree…I’ve tr ..read more

Ceremony house wedding in September at Stonefields Christie and Trevor’s little white chapel wedding at Stonefields was our final wedding of the 2022 season and boyyyy was it a goodie! I don’t usually cry at weddings…I’m guessing that’s because I’m usually laser focused on getting the perfect shot that I don’t always have time to stop and listen to what the bride and groom are saying in their vows…(sorry guys, haha, it just comes with the job). For some reason tho – maybe because of the intimacy of the ceremony house at Stonefields – I was pulled in to listen to what Christie and Trevor ..read more

Backyard wedding reception after 2 years of Pandemic delays So excited to be sharing images from Olivia and Kenzie’s backyard wedding reception today, or – as we like to call it, “Wedding 2.0”! If you’re a regular to the blog, you might recognize Olivia and Kenzie – ’cause well, this is the fourth time they’ve been behind my lens! Like so many couples who planned to get married in 2020, delays and postponements completely upturned the plans that Kenzie and Olivia had made for their backyard wedding in Mountain, Ontario. Fortunately, they went ahead with a ‘micro wedding’ in 2020, a ..read more
