Photo of the day – my lunch!

Just sharing a photo of one of my favourite meals, shrimp dumplings! Okay, to be honest, I ate more more than three dumplings today but I really wanted a nice little photo of them so I placed a few of them into my favourite bowl. If I were a food stylist, I would’ve picked three perfect dumplings instead of two okay ones and a mangy third one but I’m not and I was hungry! Yummy is all I can say.

I’m just working on finishing up a wedding shoot and all the post-production from Jan-Feb sessions! Two more sessions this week-end, there is a baby boom going on I tell ya. I want so desperately to update this blog with recent shoots from this winter and last fall but finding the time… where does it all go? Oh yeah, work.

At least I’m in love with my work. Something that I will never take for granted ever again.

Newborn Bliss | Vivian Doan | Montreal Baby Photographer

A little sneak peek at a little 6 day old newborn I shot this past week-end! I was in love I tell you. He was such a darling, the only thing is he didn’t want to fold up. He was already past that newborn phase of being foldy and bendy. We couldn’t fit him into the drum so we stuffed it and placed him on top.

GREAT SMILE!

A punch of colour – winter is half-over!

My husband bought me a bouquet last week – this is just a detail from that colourful gift he got me me! Just think, in about 2 months we will be seeing these kind of colours again outside! Happy mid-winter everyone.

The year of the Rabbit is coming up!

To all my clients and friends who are having babies this year starting from February 3rd, 2011, your baby will be a bunny in Chinese Astrology! If you were curious what your baby might be like, according to Wikipedia:

Those following traditional Chinese astrology consider people born in the Year of the Rabbit to make ideal diplomats or politicians. In Chinese astrological thought, a “rabbit person” is graceful, cultured, well-mannered, articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. Although Rabbit people get along well with many people, at heart they are considered to be basically reserved creatures, and are only truly happy when engrossed in some sort of scholarly or intellectual activity. Rabbit people are considered too sensitive for the world around them; they are not able to thrive in competitive or aggressive environments, and are anxious when others force them to take risks. Their inner world is considered too delicate for unsettled or unpredictable situations, and they tend to create peaceful and comfortable atmospheres–like rabbit dens–instinctively. According to traditional Chinese astrology, this characteristic makes them very hospitable and attentive people, who take care of those around them.
