Last week was a very bad week. My wife, my son and I all had terrible toothaches at the same time. It was just unbearable. We had to find a dentist to accomodate the three of us as soon as possible. So we started calling dentists in our area but none of them could accomodate us. Ok Ok... to say the truth, none of them fitted within our budget: $45 for the three of us. Yes, you heard me right: $45. Well, it is really all we could afford. So we just kept calling until we found

How to make 22 people smile at the same time, look good and be well lit ? How to pose them all? How many lights do I need to photograph them? What lens should I use? What else do I need? etc. etc. These are just a few of the many questions that popped into my mind when I hang up with J.D., my new client this past summer. When so many people meet for a family reunion and want to have a beautiful group portrait taken, the last thing you want is to mess up everything (you know t

"Special. Original. Different. These are a just few words that came to my mind when I was planning for little treasure first Big-Day.

It is always a pleasure to photograph such a beautiful family. David came with his family for their photo session and it was quite a blast. Photographing a family is always a pleasure for me as you can see the special bond between dad and his son or mom and her son or daughter. It's nice to see it and it always reminds me how blessed I am with my own family. David, Catherine, Felix and Eliana were in the studio last week and I am glad that the session turned out so good!

When I start desiging an album for a client, I always start by asking myself what I would, as a parent, want my child to see in his album when he would grow up. I want him to see how much we love him. I want him to read how much his coming made us happy. I want him to know how precious he is to us.
