Backlighting

Every mother thinks her child is a little angel… most of the time! To prove it, photograph your cherub with the light behind him or her. This will create an angelic effect!

  • Shoot within about six feet of your child and use your fill flash.
  • Use the backlight compensation button, if your camera is equipped with the option.
  • Try using a piece of white poster board to bounce the sun back into the child’s face.

Furry ball!

cat

Too adorable! While I was doing some cleaning up in my home office, I found my little kitty sleeping in one of the plastic boxes. Well, if I were a cat, it seems that a plastic box would look like a great bed.

Have a good weekend to all!

A Valentine’s card with a bubble! The idea came from our art director, a cartoon fan. This is as simple as this! You only have to enter the desired text and you get a nice personalized Valentine card! Cute, isn’t it?

clock

Since I came back from vacation, my schedule is all upside down. So, I end up waking up in the middle of the night and when morning comes, I can’t seem to want to lift my body from the bed.

So, nothing is better than a good alarm clock. To match my bedroom, nothing is better than this charming alarm clock. And I can assure you that it rings quite loud!

StHubert

Recently, I went in a Rotisserie St-Hubert (my favorite in Quebec!) with my kids on a Tuesday night. Surprise! I didn’t that that the St-Hyacinthe branch had a clown that amuse kids every Tuesday nights.

So, it is with multiple objects made of balloons and a big grin that kids left the restaurant that night. This includes my children also!

Nice performance!

Oh yeah, wherever I go, I work! This is the life of an art director and this photo, taken on December 31st, only a few minutes away from the 2010 arrival, is proving it.

I could have feasted but I was filling up orders. To have a company, it is a 7 days a week affair. But, when you love what you do, you never see it as work.
