Life doesn’t slow down, but there are moments within it that deserve to be held onto.  The way your child reaches for you without thinking. The in-between laughter. The quiet closeness that doesn’t ask to be noticed, but means everything later.

That’s what I’m looking for.

I take a creative, storytelling approach to family photography, guiding you when needed, stepping back when it matters, so your personalities and connections come through naturally. Whether your family feels playful and loud or calm and close, I meet you there and build from it.

Before your session, you’ll receive a simple prep guide to help you feel ready without overthinking things. I’ll guide you on location, timing, and anything else you need so everything feels easy and clear going in.

I offer a few thoughtfully structured session options, from short, seasonal experiences to more spacious, story-driven sessions.

All of them are designed to feel simple on your end.

And all of them include your full gallery of best images, so you don’t have to choose between moments later.

MY PROMISE

OTTAWA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

If you love movement, joy, cuddles & laughter - I'd love to document your family! I approach my sessions with a sense of adventure, an opportunity to have fun and JUST be yourselves. WE will take a few "everyone looking at the camera photos", but the rest of the time we will play and pretend that you are actors in a movie by following my prompts and suggestions! :) 

- Miranda

Ina's work is stunning and she is wonderful to work with. Ina takes the time to get to know her clients and makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. She is well prepared, organized and very communicative. She has very reasonable timelines and expectations are always met, and then some. Couldn't ask for a better experience or more beautiful photos.

WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH WITH!

- Victoria

Working with Ina to capture photos of our family was an amazing experience. She was able to keep our toddlers attention and make her smile and laugh for the photos. She also was patient, kind and willing to work with us, a toddler and newborn. Ina made us all comfortable which allowed her to capture the best side of our family.

HER WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

TESTIMONIALS

- Stacey

We absolutely loved our experience with Ina and North Saplings Photography! She was professional, yet easy going. As someone who doesn’t always like getting my picture taken, Ina made it so easy and relaxing that my whole family had a great time! She took such wonderful photos of my family that don’t make us look stiff. We now have natural looking photos to cherish forever!

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE WITH INA!

TESTIMONIALS

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 8 years,  but honestly,  I’ve been an artist my entire life. I’ve always been someone who loves to wander, explore, and notice the little moments of joy,  connection,  and calm that make life so meaningful. This isn’t a dress rehearsal - this is it. We get one life, and how we choose to live it,  document it,  and be remembered is entirely up to us. For me,  photography is more than just being creative. It’s how I hold onto the moments that matter most and make sure they’re never forgotten.
