More about me …

Always a bit silly

Yoga skills

Born, and lived my early childhood in Paris, France, I moved to Princeton, New Jersey at age 10, for 18 months… I then lived my adolescence in Paoli, a suburb of Philadelphia where I was introduced to the arts and all its mediums. I pursued my passion by studying photography at Dawson College in Montreal... and then found myself as a medical photographer at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal for more than five years. Never having been to a school more than two years definitely has it’s pros and its cons.

I lived in Mille-Isles, in the Basses-Laurentides, for more than 16 years with my ex-partner, raising our two beautiful children, Justin and Alexandre. Following a breakup and a move, I currently live in Sainte-Adèle with my children part-time, and a zoo full-time. My dog Kisho, a gentle giant with reconstructed knees, and a very affectionate cat, John. I’m now navigating life without a partner and am fully confident that the universe will take care of me.

Over the years, I have built my business, one brick at a time, and I take continuing training in marketing, sales, social media management, Photoshop techniques, woodworking, and more… I have a lot interests and I love it all !

Things I don’t love:

La Fondation Portraits d’Étincelle

I am a proud volunteer photographer for this organisation that supports parents morning the lost of a child. I’ve never taken for granted the fact that I birthed two healthy babies without any complications… My gratitude and experience as a medical photographer made me connect with this foundation and its purpose.

UNE POSE POUR LE ROSE

I took part in this fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Foundation, specifically for Breast Cancer. A cause close to my heart and a fantastic way and experience to highlight the beauty of every woman, encourage local businesses and get to know me and my business a little better... A few editions were cancelled due to the pandemic and once my life is more stable, I hope to resume contributing to this cause in 2025.

Creating exclusive experiences

As an AirBnB hostess I once managed a private room in our home with access to the spa, river, lakes and trails, and of course, me, as a photographer. Studio, lifestyle or outdoor portraits... I created memorable experiences!

That formula no longer exists, but my flavour was there. Maybe one day I'll be a hostess again! Who knows.

For exclusive artistic experiences, I'm always open to any opportunity.
