Peggy Skof
OTTAWA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Whether you’re chasing your kids through golden-hour fields, soaking in a slow morning with your newborn, or saying your vows in an intimate, quiet place, I'm here for it. The real stuff. The messy, magical, honest moments that make up your story.
I photograph lifestyle family sessions and small, heartfelt weddings across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. My focus is always on connection, emotion, and mood, not perfect poses, but how it felt in that moment.
Based just outside Ottawa, you’ll often find me wandering through nature or curled up in cozy homes, documenting the quiet beauty of everyday life.
Let’s make photographs that feel like poetry: honest, a little imperfect, and completely you.
I’ve always been a storyteller at heart. My camera is just one way I get to tell the honest, beautiful stories unfolding around me; stories of growing families, real love, and the moments that matter most.The photographs on my own walls are daily reminders of how fast life moves. From
I’ve always been a storyteller at heart. My camera is just one way I get to tell the honest, beautiful stories unfolding around me; stories of growing families, real love, and the moments that matter most.
The photographs on my own walls are daily reminders of how fast life moves. From raising my girls, to the quiet in-between moments that I didn’t even realize were magic at the time. I want that for you too. Not just pretty pictures, but images that feel like home. The kind you return to over and over.
I’m an Ottawa family photographer with a deep love for capturing connection, whether it’s the tenderness of maternity, the joyful chaos of life with little ones, or the intimacy of a quiet wedding day shared with only your closest people. I focus on storytelling over posing, and emotion over perfection.
Whether you're chasing toddlers through a field or exchanging vows under the trees, I want to help you remember how it felt. I’m based just outside Ottawa in Lanark County, but I travel often. And if you’ve found your way here, maybe it’s for a reason. I’d be honoured to tell your story next.

YOUR SESSION JOURNEY
When you choose to work with me, you're choosing more than a photo session. You're inviting me to witness something meaningful, and I don’t take that lightly. I bring care and intention to every story I help document.
This is the starting point. The unscripted, tender moments that shape your life. You might be preparing to meet your baby, spending time outdoors with your kids, or promising forever to your person. No matter the chapter, these experiences are worth preserving with heart. My goal is to create images that reflect the truth of who you are in this season, not just what it looked like but what it meant to you.
I’d be honoured to bring your vision to life.

FAMILY LIFESTYLE SESSIONS
Time moves faster than we think. The messy breakfasts, the belly laughs, the way they once curled into your lap without hesitation. As a mom, I know your camera roll is filled with your kids, but you're rarely in the frame with them. That’s where I come in. These sessions are a chance to pause, to really be with your family, and to document the love that lives in the everyday. Unscripted, meaningful, and full of warmth.
honouring the beauty of this time. We’ll capture the tenderness, the strength, and the quiet magic of you, right here, on the edge of a whole new chapter.

MATERNITY SESSIONS
Below, you’ll find a little more about the sessions I offer, and how we can make magic together in the midst of it all.
This chapter is about more than a growing belly. It marks the start of something completely new. There’s a stillness to this time, a quiet build-up to all that’s coming, and a kind of love that already lives in your bones. It could be your first baby or your fourth. In every case, these sessions offer a chance to take a breath, step away from the noise, and honour the transformation you're moving through.

Whether you’re exchanging vows in a quiet field or sharing a slow Sunday morning wrapped in each other, what truly matters is how it felt. I specialize in intimate weddings and couple sessions that focus on mood, connection, and genuine emotion. The small glances, the gentle touches, the love that shines brightest when no one is watching; those are the moments that stay with you. If you’re planning a simple celebration or just want to remember this chapter in your own way, I would be honoured to capture your story with honesty and heart.

Peggy was wonderful for our family photos. She was friendly and calm, told us exactly what to do so that she could take great shots, and shared many photos with us (all were fantastic) as part of the package. Would 100% recommend!

Peggy's beautiful work speaks for itself. Peggy was very patient, kind, and great at directing us and them. She kept us all smiling, and was able to get our boys engaged, feeling special, and having fun for the camera. She took her time with us, and expertly captured the sweetest candid moments. I'm so happy I chose her above others! We will 100% be hiring her again!

Peggy has photographed three of our major milestones: our engagement, wedding and 2 week old baby.
She is absolutely lovely to work with; she is clear, reliable and kind. AND her photos are absolutely stunning. Peggy has a knack for capturing special moments and the composition and lighting of her work is also beautiful.
We have received so many compliments on our wedding and baby shoot; friends and have family have been so impressed by how well Peggy captured us.
We highly recommend her as a lifestyle photographer! She’s the best!

Peggy was an absolute joy to work with! She did a beautiful golden hour maternity shoot with my partner and I and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Peggy made us feel so comfortable and we will cherish these photo memories for years to come!

Peggy is amazing! She photographed our wedding in Sept 2024 and the photos turned out even better than we imagined. We’re not used to being in front of the camera, but she made us feel comfortable and captured beautiful candid moments. Our guests loved her too. She’s professional, creative, and so lovely to work with.
Highly recommend!
