September Wedding

I photograph Lindsay and Matt's wedding on September 12. We were already familiar with each other since 4 years ago I photographed the wedding of Lindsay's brother.

The energy from this wedding is still flowing as I'm writing this text. The excitement did not stop from the bride's house up until the park. Lindsay and Matt's photos were taken at the Theatre de l'Ile in Hull with a beautiful scenery and natural lighting. I felt like the energyzer bunny, I could of kept on and on all day.

Thank you Linday and Matt, it was a pleasure and I'm looking forward in showing you the rest of your photos.

Ou la la!

Brigitte came to see me for a boudoir photo session. This is my favourite part of photography as I get to capture a women's beauty, shape and form in many different ways by setting just the right mood.

When I met Brigitte at the consultation, I thought she was gorgeous, sexy and couldn't wait to photograph her. As the session progress, Brigitte became more confortable and confident making my job very easy. The photos are stunning.

Merci Brigitte pour ta confiance.

Here is was Brigitte had to say about the session:

"I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed being a model for 2 hours on Saturday!! a dream in mini version come thru for me!! I can't wait to see the album now. Thanks

for all your hard work and making this happen for me!!"

Christine and Charles

The people who have a link to my Facebook page are familiar with the Photos of the Week section! Every week I posted different photos. The blog is now replacing this section.

Christine and Charles were sent to me by 2 referals. I feel extra special!!! Just like their friends they were pleasant to work with. Photographing a pregnant woment is very gratifying as I am able to capture that glow!!!

I had posted 2 of their images on my Facebook page. Here is what they had to say:

"Thank you Chantal for putting up a few of the pictures. They are absolutely stunning, you were so easy to work with and we couldn't believe how fast it was. Thank you again, these are precious souvenirs that we will cherish for a very long time. Christine & Charles"

Christine and Charles, thank you for the testimonials and I look forward to capturing more images of you and your baby girl in the coming weeks.

Wedding a Loch March Golf Course

Cathy and Blair were sent to me by a referall. I feel special when I get a referal!!!

Photographing this wedding was fun and very peaceful as nothing could stress this couple. They listened and went along with whatever I wanted to do. It's always nice when the couples are open to anything because I am able to squeeze in some fun shots for them to remember of the good time they had.

Congratulations Cathy and Blair, looking forwad in showing you the rest of your images!

Hot Tamale

I met Christine 10 years ago in a clothing store I worked in when I was in High School. I thought she was gorgeous and approached her to see if she would be interested in modeling for me. She said yes without hesitating. Since then she's been the model I've used everytime a crazy idea goes through my head. I know I can alway count on her to be available and open minded. While working on a project she mentioned that her dad had a Harley Davidson so I began to put some thoughts together. It was definately a project I wanted to do with her.

For the past 10 years I've seen Christine transform from a young shy women to a beautiful bride, to a mom. Needless to say by looking at the photo she is a sexy mommy!!!

If you've read this far, Congratulations. I would like to mention that during my spare time (when I have some!!!) I like to work a new projects such as this one to test my creativity. If you have an idea and willing to volunteer drop me a line. You never know your idea could become my inspiration.

It's a secret ....

The Menard family came to see me last summer for family portraits. Mireille and JP decided to hire me for their wedding on July 18, 2009. What started out as a beautiful sunny day at the Monterey Inn, turned into pourring rain. JP's father works at the NAC and was able to make arrangements for us to do the photos inside. Luckily the rain stop and I managed to create some outstanding images and document another memorable wedding.

Merci Mireille et JP pour un journee très plaisante.

Memorable birthday

So I turned the big 40 on August 8 and spent the day working. A boudoir in the morning and a wedding in the afternoon. Allot of people thought I was crazy and thought I should of been out celebrating. But I was celebrating!!! Celebrating the beginning of Michelle and Micheal's life together. It is obvious that the love between these two is very geniune. I could of snap photos forever.

Thanks Michelle and Micheal for making my 40th memorable!!!!

Michelle & Abby

Michelle came to see me this winter because she needed a portfolio. We got to talking and I found out that she has 5 horses.

During my spare time (when I have some) I like to do projects that permit me to step out of my box and test my creativity so I offered to go photograph Michelle during the summer with one of her horses.

WOW!!! is all I can say. It was the first time I worked with a horse and I sure learned allot. Did you know that when their ears are straight up it means that the horse is happy.

I tell ya standing next to the horse, I sure felt like a peanut!!

Thanks Michelle and Caroline for inviting me to your home and allowing me to do this project.

Who let the dogs out!!!

My husband and I visited some good friends of ours, Stephanie and Paul, in Kingston at the end of August. We get together a couple times of year to eat, dring and laugh and of course shop!!!

I had purchased some new flash equipment to do some cool shots so I had told them that they had to model for me or else!!! Unfortunately the equipment didn't work like I want to so I have to go back and see my sellsman to find out which button I forgot to press.

Since I had them all pump up and my camera was out I took some shots of them anyway.



Thanks guys for the fun weekend and for being co-operative models.

First of the season

I had the pleasure of starting my wedding season in the rain. But you know what they say, a rainy wedding is a happy wedding. Well Annie and Mario will have a long life of happiness because it poured rain most of the day. The rain stop for about 1 hour and half after the ceremony so we were able to capture some awesome outdoor shots.

Un gros merci Annie & Mario pour un début de saison très inspirant!!
