Fleeing from the summer heat outside, this amazing couple brought me in to their home and let me capture the warmth that awaits their first child. My objective was to capture simple moments at home full of beauty and emotion. To create portraits that would later remind them of these beautiful moments before becoming parents and …

Les filles
A girls’ day at the studio. For her birthday, her girlfriends decided to gift her a studio portraiture session. In turn, she asked to have all her friends with her. Without doubt this was one of the most active studio shoots I have done, as well as one of the most fun ever 🙂 These …
Celebrating everyday life
This was officially my third session with this dearly loved family. I did their first family portraits when their firstborn turned 1 and they decided then to make it a yearly mission, to keep track of how the family grew and how time flew by. This year, the family grew by one 🙂 Seeing how …
A sandy souvenir
Right before temperatures in the Emirates soared and right before an imminent departure, this family had one last good run in Dubai’s dunes. After several years living in the UAE, their term has officially ended and they decided to celebrate it with a farewell session in the desert 🙂 We were on location about an …

And before we had the “easy” one-hour printing service, we had little diapositives or transparencies made from the original film, that were mounted on cardboard and used mainly with projectors (aka as reversal film). I still remember …
Join the beat.
My husband often says that the best thing that came out of one of my jobs, was meeting two people who at the moment were clients and today, a couple of years after, are two of our closest friends. Some years back, this amazing couple started a non profit called PaidaOrphanage to support an …
Mind your first impressions
How many times have been setting up your profile (in LinkedIn, social media, or any other platform) and when it comes to uploading an image of yourself, you can’t find one that is good enough? …After a while you settle with a photo taken at the last family reunion where you happened to be smartly …
Islamic art and culture in Doha
First off, an apology – I had been meaning to share these images from Doha in other than my instagram for some time… (i.e., the Middle Eastern birdhouse!) sorry it has taken me this long, here they go 🙂 Visiting our good friends in Doha over a weekend earlier this year, I had the opportunity …
