Hi all!
About a month ago, I had a the pleasure of working with Tracey Jazmin, an extremely talented photographer working in the Ottawa area. We met in downtown Ottawa at the famous hotel, the Chateau Laurier, and she took some shots of me on the hotel’s beautiful grounds, gardens and along the tree-lined Sussex Drive bordering the Byward Market.
If you are getting married or need any lifestyle photography, contact Tracey Jazmin. Not only is she brimming with natural talent, she is fun, free-spirited and her infectious laugh will guarantee a great atmosphere! We had an awesome time together and I cannot wait to work with her again!
Be sure to check her out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/traceyjazminphoto, Instagram at @traceyjazminphoto or her beautiful website at www.traceyjazmin.com.
All of her shots were so beautiful, it was hard choosing a select few for this post. Here are some of my favourites, all courtesy of Tracey Jazmin Photography:
For those of you who are interested, here are the details on my outfit and makeup:
- Shirt, Aritzia (no longer available)
- Shorts, Ted Baker (no longer available)
- Shoes, Jimmy Choo (similar here)
- Bangle, Coach (no longer available)
- Watch, Michael Kors
- Bella Earrings, Swarovski
- Necklace, Roadtrip
- Makeup (Watermelon lipstick – Kiko Cosmetics, Rue St. Honoré eyeliner – Nars, Ambre #114 foundation – Chanel, discontinued)
I’m extremely proud of these shots! I feel I’ve come a long way, baby! I no longer feel like that little scrawny, gap-toothed, pimply kid…I finally feel like the confident woman that I am, and it shows in these pics. Thank you so much, Tracey!

Thank you so much, Lauren! That outfit is a favourite of mine. Those shorts go over really well too. People stop me on the street when I wear them to ask where I got them! Lol! xoxo
No bother 🙂 The shorts are so nice! Such a nice summery outfit! Haha I probably would’ve done that if I had seen you, they are super pretty!
Author
Haha! Thanks!! xo

Thank you so much, Linda! Ted Baker does a variation on these shorts every year. I notice them on the Ted Baker website in the spring, so keep your eyes peeled if you want a pair! xoxox

Awww! Thank you! This is a really kind compliment! We should have gotten a pic of me talking – I’m a total chatterbox! Hahaha! Thanks again for checking out my post!

Author
Thank you so, so much!! xo
One word: WOW! 😉 I love seeing a long-stemmed lady who isn’t afraid to up the ante by adding a few more inches worth of platform shoes (& Jimmy Choos at that!). It’s true: the very best part of these shots is the obvious, infectious confidence. You go girl! 😉
Author
Awwww!!! Thank you so much!!! I feel towering in those heels – lol! Those shoes were a real find. We were in Vegas and went shopping after a typically boozy lunch. I don’t think I wouldn’t have bought them if I didn’t have a few glasses of liquid courage in me. Haha!! xo
I am so jealous!! (I’m 5’2″, so the more platforms in my life, the better). And the story just makes those shoes that much more special! 🙂
Author
Thanks!! Aww! You’re bite-sized! Lol! Good things come in small packages!!
Aw, why thank you!! I used to be self-conscious about my size, but now I realize it just allows me to wear any shoes I want to… Even 6 inch stilettos! 😉
Author
Exactly! LOL! #lifegoals
