Vivian Doan Montreal Natural Light Portrait Photographer

I just completed an Annie Leibovitz style attempt at a group photo of a studio of really talented and busy stylists called Les Effrontés, in Outremont. I was assisted by Argentinian photographer and friend Federico Ciminari.

If ever you need any help with style and your overall look, please contact Marie-Claude Pelletier’s outstanding team at Les Effrontés.

I was just added to the following website listing of photographers!

I just joined the Mummies List – which is a card that can be purchased that will give moms and dads in the city discounts to a whole bunch of baby/child related businesses including mine! If you purchase the “mummy card” card, you will be entitled to $25 discount on all services listed on my www.viviandoan.com website.

I will be a part of this discount program for 2008 and 2009!

Je viens de joindre la liste des commerces qui offrent des rabais pour tous et toutes les detenteurs de la carte “mummy card”! Les parents peuvent aller voir le site web http://www.mummieslist.com/ pout acheter cette carte magique qui donne des rabais a plusieurs commerces qui sont centres sur les bebes/enfants et aussi pour les parents!

Of course no photo blog is complete without more baby/toddler photos, this time of a brother and sister duo Luca and little wee Vanessa. What an adorable pair!!! The first photo is their mommy’s favorite – looks like Vanessa and Luca are in on a big secret of some sort!

Our friend Nilia Berkin asked me to help her do the design of her new album, soon to be released “Whirlwind”. Here’s a preview of the album cover! I simply cannot wait to go to the album launch, but she says that it may be a while! Her music is sultry, mysterious, retro, cute… kind of like a mysterious Norah Jones. She sings, plays piano… she’s amazing.

Unfortunately I was not the photographer on this album but she did promise to hire me next time around. I will update this blog entry if she has a myspace page.
