    Welcome to the Bella Stella Photography Blog.  My world!
    I am in love with my husband, my dog and my CAMERA!

    Based in the Gatineau-Ottawa region, I specialize in wedding photography as well as in boudoir photography. Artistic, edgy, fresh and intimate photography is my goal. Striving for ways to be unique and creative every time I capture the beauty of life.  My sessions are laid back and stress free for you to be able to be yourself, have fun and let us capture those moments you will treasure.

    This blog is where I will post pictures from recent sessions as well as other happenings. I will not limit my posts to photography related things only!  I will share on this blog my love for food, share my favorite music video, post pictures from my trips around the world, and talk about anything else I feel like!

Belly Boudoir – Ottawa Boudoir Photographer

Many pregnant woman ask about maternity photography. In 2011, Bella Stella Photography is now introducing the Belly Boudoir.  I wanted to offer a unique maternity session, reflecting my style and expertise. Meaning that I will proudly offer maternity photography with a touch of glamour, sexiness and beauty.

Pregnancy is a unique experience and to be able to remember it with a sensual belly session is the perfect celebration of this true beauty.

You probably remember the Marie Claire issue featuring Christina Aguilera’s gorgeous baby bump. These are the perfect example of what we want to reveal. Very stylish images for all the glamorous mom-to-be out there. Dressed in your cute lingerie, from vintage to modern, and showing off your baby bump.

Shimmer and Shivers!

You probably remember this wonderful couple.
Their engagement session was a total blast and they were obviously ready to face the cold on their big day (and I guess their wedding photographers were also ready haha).
This was definitely an amazing wedding with lots of shimmers and some shivers to make it the ultimate winter wedding experience!
This was the perfect wedding to end 2010 and we are happy to bring you a little teaser from yesterday.

Enjoy and we will be back soon with many more exceptional images from this December wedding.
