Hi, I’m Emilie.

A lover of stories, connections and memories.

My vision is to create beautiful photographs of this new chapter in your life so they can be transformed into heirloom artworks to be displayed in your home and enjoyed for generations to come. 

As a Mama of three little ones aged 4, 6 and 8, I can say I have learned how life passes us by at the speed of light and I love to seize the most important moments of our family story. 

I love to sit with my kids and look back at their newborn photos and tell them the love story behind their arrival into this world. I love to see their beautiful eyes light up when they show their tiny little faces in the photos on our wall to their friends visiting our home. This is why I am here and this is why Blooming Bliss photography exists, because I want to share my love and my passion for memory making with you. 

Let me write your story in my photographs, and allow me to seize the most beautiful moments of your family. 

I am looking forward to meeting you. - Emilie

The Experience

  • maternity photography gatineau

    The Studio

    My beautiful white studio is located in Gatineau, Qc (10 minutes from Ottawa). Many of the families I photograph travel to me from Ottawa and Gatineau, and also from Chelsea, Cantley, Orleans, Nepean, and Kanata .

    The studio is comfortable and serene and has a lovely homey feel to it so every client, big or small, feels relaxed and at ease during their session.

    It is a full-service portrait studio with a carefully curated wardrobe for mamma and babe, props, blankets, changing table and nursing pillows. Professional hair and makeup services are available because carrying life and being a mom are the best reasons to pamper yourself with an exclusive and personalized photography experience.

    The Baby Whisperer

    I provide a stunning gallery of images and most importantly, a relaxed and delightful experience for you and your family.

    To ensure you are comfortable, I walk you through every step attending to your baby’s safety and security. I have snuggled over 350 newborn babies, but it will be my first time holding your precious little one and I want you to feel he/she is safe and secure at all times!

    As none of my clients are professional models I guide you and your spouse through all the poses to ensure you both look your best, even if you haven’t slept in a few days!

    The Booking Process

    I recommend saving your space as soon as you have made your selection of sessions. Normally, booking your session right after your 20 weeks ultrasounds will guarantee availability. I only take a set number of due dates per month to ensure I can provide the best personalized service and experience to my clients. That being said, I can sometimes take a last minute session so always feel free to contact me even if baby is already born.

    To reserve your space, there is a $150 deposit that will go toward your final invoice. I also have a contract that will need to be signed to ensure everyone’s expectations are clear and are met throughout the process.
