So we’re going to level with you guys here; this was probably the most torturous project that we’ve tackled thus far. It involved a 6am wakeup time and spitting morning rain, but ultimately our goal was achieved. The purpose of this shoot is to show you a side of Ottawa that very few of you have ever admired for yourselves. I can’t say I was overly pleasant when my alarm went off this morning, but you gotta do it for the photos right? Plus, the post-shoot breakfast wasn’t half bad.
