Photo of the Day – my Husband’s new album

Vivian — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:59:39 +0000

Last week I went out with my husband to shoot his album artwork for a new solo acoustic album he will be releasing in April at the Casa de Popolo. I had this idea of using the corner of St-Laurent Boulevard and Duluth, but the funny thing is that I was aiming at capturing the friperie on the corner including the street lamp and the image was just not really happening the way I had pictured it. Then I looked up Duluth, from the street corner where I was standing and I saw the slick of the pavement with the hint of Mont Royal in the back and the sunlight kind of streaking in from behind and I immediately changed the concept. No more traffic light, just the crossing and on the last shot of Matt crossing the street about 20 times, we got the shot! I already knew in my head at that point that I was shooting for a Bob Dylan style cover and I knew I wanted it in Black and White. It goes to show how an initial idea is not always the one you will end up with in the end, I’m so glad that it metamorphosed into this, which is infinitely better. I love what I do!

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.

Voici un “sneak peek” d’un bel après-midi d’automne au Parc Lafontaine avec une belle famille qui attend l’arrivée d’un autre bébé! J’adore la fin de la journée quand le soleil est bas et moins fort d’intensité – la lumière rend le parc un endroit simplement magique pour les photos.

Seriously cute kids – Montreal Children’s Photographer

I went to Ottawa/Gatineau in the summer for a contract and visited my friend Cindy. We went to McGill together many years ago, I wont say how many because it makes me feel old. She has such a beautiful family and when I woke up the next morning, we did a quick photoshoot with her 3 adorable children. I picked my favorite shot of each one to share. Personal projects are very seldom looked at due to my deadlines so personal photos like this are rare.

When I posted photos of my niece, a friend asked me why I had not posted a photo of her niece since I did a session with them last February. I’m not the best blogger although I am trying hard now to keep up with it, there are about a hundred shoots from the past year that I have not blogged. Well here is one sneak peek from that photo session of this darling baby baby girl. There is something about this photograph that just makes me melt. And I just love those eyelashes!

Love this family! – Montreal Family Portrait Photographer

My new favorite spot for photos has to be Stewart Hall, with the gorgeous old building and the weeping willows and the view… this is what happens when you combine a beautiful family and a gorgeous setting. I just love these teenagers and it is evident that the camera loves them too, they get those good looks from mom and dad of course!

The last time I took photos of this family, there was only one little girl – now there are two!! What a warm family, I wanted to hang out with them all day long.
