ABOUT US

 

 

 

 

WHO WE ARE


We started in spades in 2014 in Findlay Creek, Ottawa. At first, it was just Della, an expensive camera and a passionate drive for excellence. Over the course of hundreds of photoshoots, creative experimentation, thousands of hours of training, countless coffees, and the addition of Roxy, we soon grew to become a dynamic photography duo, thanks to our reputation for specializing in capturing moments and providing a memorable experience.

PHOTO EDITING

A necessary evil for perfectionists like us. You don’t even want to know the hours we spend editing. lol. Luckily, editing is always included in the fee.

ROBERT SMITH

Della and Roxy's energy and attention to detail has always resulted in amazing work. I continue to use their portraits to this day and anticipate working with them in the future. A great talent that I know will deliver the results you are looking for, and then some! I've always felt comfortable and natural with their approach to photography. Great experience and a great product!

Testimonials

GLORIA + NATE

Della and Roxy really made me feel so incredibly sexy, which is not how I normally see myself. We had so much fun doing this photoshoot. And my husband - who never wants to pose in front of a camera - had an absolute blast. These ladies really take the time to capture the beauty within you. They make the process fun and comfortable and their creativity is so refreshing.
