Portraiture should feel authentic. Whether you are planning a family reunion, a wedding, event or documenting your family in the here and now. Dawn McLeod Photography strives to capture a glimpse of a moment in time by creating memories that will last a lifetime. 

You want your photographer to care, to capture you in the best possible light. I strive to capture both posed and unposed images. I know that not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera (I speak from experience) I completely get that. I will prompt you and hopefully make you laugh, I also look for the little moments, in between, the laughs, the quiet moments, the glances you might not otherwise see. I always approach my sessions and client interactions with a warm and friendly approach. Nothing helps to open up a shy child like meeting them on their level to get to know them a little bit before and during their session.

If you are looking to document your family, event or special occasion in Ottawa, the valley and beyond then I would love to hear from you. Travel within Eastern Ontario and beyond is always an option and I would be happy to discuss this further. Making the decision to hire a photographer is an investment. That is why I offer a customizable approach to my packages. There are a variety of options to choose from including a la carte options so that you can customize your session to suit your needs. I want to work with you to make your time with me memorable. If you are looking for a photographer to complete your vision then let’s work together. If you are not sure what you have in mind and would like to discuss options then I look forward to hearing from you.
