About Me

A avid photographer, traveler, and teacher

My brand Story

There is always a moment, when taking a photograph, that you know you’ve captured something special.  I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember.  My mom recently showed me an old letter, written to my Grandmother, when I was 7 years old describing how we had been making pin hole cameras at school and how excited I was about it.  Photography allows me to look at the world in a different way.  Through the hustle and bustle, in this ginormous universe of ours, a camera focuses on one particular moment in time and just for a second, stops the world from spinning.

I moved to England in my 20s, and it was there that my passion grew.  I was discovering new places, exploring cities, and seeing the world in ways that I never had before.  Instead of just being in a new city, photography allowed me to experience the place. I was looking past the buildings to what I actually saw, seeing the beauty in the everyday.  I began traveling the world, being fortunate enough to see the most wondrous landscapes.  Upon returning home, to Ottawa, I started looking at our city in the same way.  It was no longer just the place I grew up, but it was a vibrant city filled with just as many sunsets and sunrises as the plains in Africa, or lagoons in Bolivia.  I started appreciating the drive to work everyday, especially crossing the bridge over to Quebec, seeing the river as it changes in the light throughout the seasons.    ​

ChaitonPhotography grew from a love of taking and sharing photographs.  I had always wanted to do something with the moments that I was capturing, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon an article about making your own handmade coasters that I was really inspired to create.  From there ChaitonPhotography was born: discovering, exploring, creating; the spark that ignites our passion.
