Hello from the window: Ottawa photographer shoots community on their daily walks during isolation

While I miss my visits to my favourite cafe to read and people-watch, I most miss my studio portrait photoshoots.

So I took them outside while remaining safely indoors.

As neighbours and friends pass on their daily cabin-fever fighting walks, I hang from my upstairs windows and snap, snap, snap.

It’s good to see smiling faces and lifted spirits while we hunker down and fight a good fight.
