Family Photographer serving Orléans.
Moments & Lens serves families, couples, and businesses across the Ottawa area — including Orléans, Petrie Island, Navan, and the communities along the Ottawa River. If you're looking for a photographer who knows the east end well and can recommend the right spot for your session, you're in the right place.
Samir Chaulagain is a portrait and event photographer based in Ottawa, with years of experience capturing family sessions, cultural ceremonies, newborns, maternity, and headshots. Sessions are relaxed, unhurried, and designed around real moments — not a checklist of poses.
Favourite spots in Orléans & the east end.
Petrie Island
River views, natural trails, a mix of open beach areas and tree-lined paths. Works well year-round — especially beautiful in late spring through early fall. Best at golden hour for softer light and fewer crowds.
Voyageur Pathway
This riverside trail along the Ottawa River gives you a blend of water views and natural greenery without needing to travel far from central Orléans. Great for walk-and-shoot sessions with young families.
Neighbourhood parks
Sometimes the simplest settings work best. Dappled light through mature trees in an established neighbourhood park is one of the most flattering lighting conditions for family portraits — especially in fall.
