I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!

One day, at the cottage and enjoying a warm summer afternoon, I suddenly found my attention captivated by two girls playing in the forest.
Kate and her best friend, Jaelyn, who came to spend a weekend with us, were up to something curious.
It appeared as if they were flying through the forest, collecting wild flowers and leaves and bringing their findings under a tree.
I could see that they were building something that was deserving of a sparkle in their eyes.
Soon I learned that the girls were building a resting place for fairies, whom they believed were inhabiting the forest.
A tiny place; beds made of leaves and flower petals, with a little couch and a diminutive chair... Snacks were left for their elusive guests – some wild berries they had collected.
They hoped that the fairies would come and stay at their special fairy sanctuary, even if only overnight...
I just hoped that the girls wouldn't be disappointed next day...
At morning's first light, I noticed an enthusiastic stir about the tree where lay the sanctuary.
I made my way towards the excitement and was greeted with joyful screams: “They were here! The fairies came! You can see they took our snack and the beds were touched! They will come again! They just don't want to be seen!”
I felt a weight lifted off my heart...
As I watched the girls play I realized that fairies did exist..
The fairies were these girls, leaping and bounding in front of me, living a children's fantasy, a pure world filled with beauty and fairness.
This year, I decided to have this fairy-inspired photo-shoot. Here are a few images for today. Stay tuned for more!

Magali and Ken - A Beautiful Wedding at La Grange {Ottawa Wedding Photographer}

Magali and Ken tied the knot at a beautiful riverside setting just minutes away from Ottawa.
La Grange, a historic place with a laid-back cottage charm seemed a perfect place to gather friends and family for a relaxed and cozy celebration.
