Hi, I am Vicki Florio.
A lifestyle photographer based in Ottawa, capturing real life as it unfolds: the messy, magical and everything in between.
I love to shoot the real stuff: the genuine smiles, the stillness between laughs, the hair blowing the wrong way, the glance you didn’t even notice you gave. That’s the magic I live for.
My work is less about posing and more about presence. My sessions are relaxed, spontaneous and movement-driven. We’ll walk, talk, maybe dance. My goal is to help you forget there’s a camera.
How I got here.
My photography journey started over 16 years ago. I’m mostly self-taught, shaped by curiosity and interest in finding the beauty in the little things.
I’ve always been drawn to the perfectly imperfect real moments.

“I’ve now done three photoshoots with Vicki and I’ve been happy each time. She’s easy to work with, makes me feel comfortable in front of the camera, always has good photo / creative ideas. And she’s just a nice, easygoing person! Very professional. I do recommend if you’re in need of an Ottawa photographer to help promote yourself or your business!”

“We’ve worked with Vicki a couple of times now, and every experience has been an absolute joy. I’m someone who usually dreads being in front of the camera, but Vicki has a gift for making everyone feel at ease. The photos are natural, full of personality, and beautifully capture our family in a timeless way we’ll treasure for years to come. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“I really loved how easygoing and fun the whole shoot felt, and doing an outdoor night session was such a magical experience! Vicki struck the perfect balance between giving great direction and letting me be myself, which made the experience feel so natural.
10/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for photos that are both artistic and genuine!”

“Vicki did a lifestyle shoot for me and it was so much fun! She brought some props and took shots when I wasn't even paying attention and those turned out to be some of my favourites. She's super easy going and knows her stuff. The pics I ended up with were better than I was expecting. I highly recommend her!”
