Announcement: photographers for Aaron's butterfly Run

We are so happy to announce the photographers for Aaron’s Butterfly Run Ottawa/Gatineau: Kim Brookes from Breathe In Photography and Annie Carrier photographe lifestyle et artiste émotionelle!

Kim from Breathe In Photography specializes in celebrating connections through birth, feeding, babywearing and in-home newborn photography.  She talks about her work:

“One day when your child asks you about the day he was born, or a sibling asks about the day her sister or brother joined your family, when you are taking a few moments to remember, or someone asks you about those early family years, you will have the photos to tell the stories over and over again.” (Kim Brookes from Breathe In Photography)

Kim’s style honours real life so that you can remain true to the moment so she can capture the beautiful connections between you and the people you love. Every birth story, the fuzzy chaos of the early days with a newborn, the mess in the kitchen and the mismatched booties on your baby's feet is the setting for beautiful moments. She believes photography celebrates connections, builds community and sparks important conversations. She hopes her images will provide you with beautiful tangible moments that you can look back on for years and years.

Annie Carrier photographe’s mission is to become your creative partner to ensure that you get images that reflects the beauty and rawness that makes you the beautiful and unique beings that you are.  She tells us about her approach to photography:

"My lifestyle approach to photography allows me to offer you images that are filled with life and sensibility, filled to the brim with emotions and present.  This medium allows me to meet incredible people who are not only looking for images, but to capture the every day magic, the little moments of joys where tears and laughter often intertwine.  They want to freeze in time the perfect imperfections of everyday life to remember the moments exactly as they where. My clients are genuine and authentic, they celebrate a life well lived and lived fully, and are not afraid of letting their personality shine to ensure that their session will undoubtedly reflect the essence of who they are, whether we do it locally or abroad." (Annie Carrier)

Annie is also a volunteer photographer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. She photographed the family of one of our volunteers after her daughter Anya passed away at birth in 2013. Anya’s mother, writes:

"On December 19, in the hours of shock, confusion and pain that followed Anya's death, a nurse at the hospital suggested she get in touch with a volunteer photographer who could take pictures to commemorate our family's one and only day together. An hour or two later, we welcomed a wonderfully compassionate and attentive photographer (Annie) into our little cocoon. We now have a few more mementos to add to our small pile. We are ever so grateful!" (Kayleigh Felice)

Kim and Annie have both volunteered their services for the day of the run. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to get to know these amazing, generous women! They have also donated photography packages to our Silent Auction, scheduled for June 2-3, 2017 (join the group here).

Thank you SO MUCH Kim and Annie!!!
