Liz & Rob - Ottawa Wedding Photographer {Iaroslava Petrenko Photography}

Liz and Rob married at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, just 15 minutes outside of Ottawa. What a great setting for a picnic themed wedding! It features a century old Victorian Style Chapel, a schoolhouse, train station... My favourite photo spot was a century old Imperial Oil gas station, where I loved taking photographs of this ever in love couple.

Before the tree was gone - {Ottawa Photographer}

Before the tree was gone..

I asked Kate if she would give me some of her time to take pictures of her by the Christmas tree. She agreed and I promised her a reward after.

When we were done with the pictures, I was very excited and started flipping through the images on my camera to see what I had managed to capture...

Kate sat down next to me and after a short while she reminded me: “A reward?”.

I responded: “Oh yes, of course. What is it that you want me to get you? Maybe some hot chocolate, with marshmallows, or a candy bar?”.

At that moment, I was happy that I still had a fancy chocolate bar in my secret place in the kitchen, where I keep my “surprise” snacks for special occasions like this one... but...

“A puppy” was her confident answer, uttered without a smile. Now, that was unexpected...

It took me a minute to recuperate from the shock. Then I had to tell her, “You know, Kate, I can't get you a puppy, not now”.

“Well,” she said, staring straight into my face, without blinking once, “then I want you to delete all the images you just took”.

Wow, I thought, am I being blackmailed by my little girl.

I showed Kate the pictures I took of her and the tree. She smiled. She liked them...

In the end, we settled on a candy cane swirl.

I am not sure how long she will continue to allow me to be a photographer, not just a mom who takes snapshots of her when the opportunity arises. So far, I've been lucky with my little model, who, most of the time is up to dressing up and driving with me to our photo-shoot destinations :)
