About Me

Get to know me

Hello! I'm Kristin Dorrance, an Ottawa based photographer and a dedicated mom of two beautiful little girls. My love for photography began early, with a digital camera as a kid and later using my phone to capture moments. Wanting to document my children’s lives with high-quality photos led me to invest in a professional camera.

I'm sports-addicted! Though back and knee injuries have shifted me from hockey, soccer, and tennis to inner tube water polo and pickleball!

Work with Me

My photography


I specialize in family photography with a heartfelt focus on motherhood and breastfeeding. My journey began with a desire to capture high-quality images of my own children, leading me to immerse myself in learning the art and craft of photography. Over time, my passion evolved, and I started capturing the special moments of friends and their families. I believe moms are often missing from day-to-day family photos, and I find it incredibly special to capture the intimate bond between a mother and her baby.


My goal is to create a fun and relaxed experience for the whole family, resulting in beautiful, timeless images you’ll treasure for years. My approach is personal and genuine, ensuring that every session is enjoyable and every photograph tells a unique story.
