National We Day: Ottawa April 9th, 2014!

We Day is the movement of our time, empowering a generation of young global citizens through an inspirational event and a year-long educational initiative














http://www.weday.com/2014/04/national-we-day-rocked/
More than a one-day event, We Day is the movement of our time—a movement of young people leading local and global change. We Day is tied to the year-long We Act program, which offers educational resources, campaigns and support materials to help turn the event’s inspiration into sustained activation. Through We Act, students commit to taking one local and one global action to better the world, earning their way to We Day. At National We Day – Canada, 16,000 youth, educators and friends will be inspired to make a difference, both in their own community and overseas.
Very cool event and I felt honoured to be there!

Perth Manor Winter Wedding: Ottawa Wedding Photography

This wedding was special because, not only are the couple hilariously awesome, they also had a two part wedding. Because of timing and family, the wedding was split into ceremony over Christmas break and reception on their wedding date January 11th.
It worked out wonderfully because one day was chilly but freezing rain and the other was warm with rain and we managed to still get beautiful outdoor portraits in the 6 minutes we were outside.

Annual Ottawa Boudoir Marathon: January 2013 (Valentine's edition!)

I have been blogging on my new blog for almost one year at: http://www.melanieshieldsphotography.com/blog/ when I realized not everyone has made their way over from this blog.
In an attempt to appease the masses I will be posting on both in the meantime!

If you didn't catch our 12 days of Christmas giveaway, where were you?! It was such a blast.
Be sure to follow on Facebook.com/MshieldsPhoto to keep up to date with our contests and promotions, and just to follow more closely my daily work.

We are having our annual January boudoir marathon in the middle to end of the month.
Details are still being confirmed but the sessions are going to be better than ever so stay tuned.
Here are a few to hold you over while we confirm the dates and packages!
