Story of a girl

Hey dudes,

it has been a while and I highly apologize, there were just a few conflicts in my personal life who were getting in the way, but it's all good now and I finally have time to just sit down on my couch with my mac and write a blogg! 

So wednesday I had a shoot and I totally forgot about it and spent the whole night creating a concept.
Photographers must make concepts, for example a story, or a meaning so that the picture comes to life and means something truthful. It was pretty easy to find my concept, because most of the fashion shoots I do, I create concepts with my personal feelings. I find photographing you're own feelings is so much more artistic than just creating something out of the blue without thinking and getting deep into the emotion that the picture is suppose to be. It is a form of art, and not many of us can manage to open up like that and create something like that. Let's just say I'm very thankful for having that ''gift''.

So when I got a hold of my friend who was the model for the shoot I instantly thought of shooting some vintage photography. She is very beautiful and has the perfect body for shooting which is really rare in some people, and once you find someone like that (photographer wise) you just want to keep shooting and shooting that person because you're pictures look more alive and all. 

Now the concept I used was ruffly about love, loneliness, and all those emotions put into one. But in a delicate way.
It's the story of a girl who just wants to find who she is in this huge world, find love, and to not feel so lonely. She's alone in the field with three balloons holding them like if it was part of her life, and then in the end she lets them go as if she just lost a part of her life. 
It's very delicate though, just like a little girl not understanding how big the world is just yet.

I guess the moral is that you may feel vulnerable at times, but you can never just let yourself bring you down by it. It's normal to have those feelings once in a while when you feel a little lonely but keep thinking positive things and you will feel so much better!
I guess the best medicine for it would be spending time with friends but also spending time with yourself relaxing, and just thinking about you.

And then the happy moments in life will catch up with you and things will be much better! :)

Enjoy,

Winter is coming

Why hello there dudes!

I hope it's not a rainy weekend wherever you are because it is over here! It's been raining so much it's like come on where's the snow?!

Me don't want rain, me want snow!

Hahaha ok so when I write I literally talk what I'm going to say and when I said that last sentence I felt like those little mutant human creatures.

Anyways that's just my weirdness acting up but you guys are use to it ( I hope). So as you know my wisdom teeth were extracted last monday and I'm proud to say it still hurts like hell! Ok so that's also a little exaggerated I must say... It doesn't hurt that bad, most of the pain is gone tho it still hurts at times and I'm excited to actually eat food instead of drinking smoothies....

I mean I love smoothies but come on.. For a full week it gets annoying!

But enough with the complaining you guys are probably dozing off as we speak lets get serious.

Oh yeah, seriousness 101. 

Winter is around the corner! Like I can smell it, it's there if only it got a little colder and instead of rain it was snow I would be in heaven! 

Don't get me wrong, rain is great though snow is so much more exciting! How exciting it is to be outside and catch the first snowflake of the season with your tongue and watching all those magical little things float down from the sky to soon cover up the whole ground.

It's dreamy, really it is. And the most exciting moment is the day the lifts open and you do your first run of the season!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I get shivers when I think of it and it's true, right now at this exact moment I have shivers come up my spine. Alright, maybe it's because I'm cold but oh well you get my point.

Today my friend and I hiked up Mont Saint-Sauveur with my dog and going up that one run made me go back to last year and to all the memories I had last season. It's making me eager to ride because I've improved so much since last year and I have a feeling this is my year.

I mean last year was good, but I had a lot of issues with certain aspects of my life who were making me tread in place and I never seemed to be able to have the strength to be able to ride well.

But this year, oh boy watch out.

Especially how I've become the photographer of MSSI, which is pretty amazing let me tell you! 

So as we got up for a little break(I tell you I am unhealthy because holy crow I puffed the whole way up there hahaha) I took out my camera to take a few frames. I love my exposure in these images, and the filters I used are pretty impressing.

Enjoy,

The ruff life!

Hey dudes!

So I'm not too impressed with today. You know why? Well this morning I got my four wisdom teeth out and let's just say it wasn't like taking a little walk in the park.
It felt like in those horror movies when the killer straps you into a leather seat and tortures you to death pulling out your teeth with knifes and laughing away.

Alright I'm a little over exagerated but when I wasn't fully frozen and happened to wake up during the second tooth it felt like it!
But I'm still alive though not too impressed, and I think the dentist realized that by the look I was giving him when I left.... But in other words I have to admit I will never have to relive that moment because they will never grow back again!

I think the thing that bugged me the most was that my wisdom teeth weren't even out yet, so he had to literaly cut my jaw to get to them and now I'm stuck with stitches in my mouth and it's rather an odd feeling, sensation kind of thing.

I think I could go on and on about how much I hate the dentist and how going there makes me almost hurl in horror. But once again it's over with and I swear to god I will never get anything this painful done again because it was BAD. 
But now I'm all drugged up with these super intense painkiller although I feel them wearing off again..... So I better go take some more before I start dying again.

Other than that I don't know if you have ever gotten them removed, but you're not aloud to do anything for like a week. I don't know how I'm going to survive because I hate my town and I'm always on the go, like for example today.... I got home and I was like ... Now what.. 
Hmm go on the computer, check emails, respond to emails, check Facebook, check twitter, check Facebook, check snowboard Canada, check Facebook. OK now what hmmm... Watch TV , take out my camera, try and take picture of my dog who won't stay still, getting frustrated that my dog won't stay still, TV, Facebook...
Looking in the fridge but everything in there is too hard to eat, getting upset cause I'm hungry and there's nothing to eat, looking at those panflets with yummy tasting pizza, knowing you can't look at them because you can't eat them, alright let's go back on the mac and check out Facebook and load some pictures.
And finally HEY LETS WRITE A BLOGG!

Story of the life of a poor lady suffering the recovering of her extractions of wisdom teeth.
Hahahaha, ok yeah anyways while I was dead bored out of my mind I actually took out the camera and took a really cool picture of my dog Mouky just walking around.
It sucked cause I couldn't talk and I was in pain so I couldn't get mad at him for moving all over the place as I tried to chase him with the camera.
In a way I think I realized today he doesn't like the camera because every time I tried taking a picture of him he would run away like if I were chasing him with some kind of killing object.
What a little wimp hahah.
But I got to say I love him so dearly and I got a great picture out of it!

Enjoy,

Classic

Hey dudes!

Hope this week is going by fast and getting ready for another exciting weekend!
For my part, this week is going by great!
It's nice to be on vacation and getting things done around the house, taking care of my dogs, getting out to take pictures and doing stuff I love to do and just enjoying life!
It's great to get back with people you haven't seen in so long and that you miss so much! As for example, yesterday I met up with my friend that I haven't seen since the Classic boardshop Roll-Dogg skate competition! Which was like.. 2 months ago! 
Ok so it's not that long ago but it felt like it!!

Anyhow we met up in Blainville and just decided to go for a long walk with my dog and discover the wonderful town of Blainville(I'm being dead sarcastic because for my part I hate this town hahahaha).
It was fun though walking in the forests, looking at the rich houses and just talking about random things and having a blast!

We walked through the Parc équestre and sat in the grass for a bit and I pulled out my camera to take a couple of frames of my friend and my dog.
I love taking portraits with white fences, it seems so vintage in a way... Classic I feel.
And I absolutely love her style, fits perfectly with my husky which made the photographs even more awesome. 

It was a good 2 hour walk and it felt good! Just being with an old friend talking about random things and just enjoying the sunny day!
Here are some pictures I took of her and my dog,

Enjoy,

Team-Up Rail Challenge PRFO

Hey dudes!!

So it is official, winter is coming! Yesterday I woke up and went on the internet and saw a picture of Jay Peak and there was snow on top! Yayy!! I'm so stoked and Mont Sainte-Anne has snow also which means it's slowly coming my way and I'm super excited because that means SNOWBOARD SEASON!

I mean I can't really complain because I got to ride this summer at COC but still I'm super eager to ride and this season I'm gonna go hard on learning new park tricks, and I will be taking a lot of pictures considering I'm MSSI photographer for the park and events! (YAY)

What better way than to get ready for the season than a little Rail jam at my favorite boardshop in Saint-Sauveur?! Yes indeed, PRFO boardshop organized a team rail jam which was pretty gnarly if you ask me! It was a sick jam which you needed to be in teams(one skier and one boarder) and do tricks off two set ups  that were set in the back parking lot. Jeremy Cloutier, Zach Aller and many more were there hamming down tricks and it was aaaaamazing!!
Hahahaha, yup Sunday was a good day though very weird.
Weird? I don't know I was just overly tired and I was very like ... Weird in my head hahaha, but I guess that happens and oh well I finally got to sleep in a bit this morning and enjoy my mornings which I haven't really been doing lately.

Anyhow I'm sorry this is a short blogg, I'm just missing a lot of imagination and I need to get ready for my day. (in case you didin't know I have a husky so I need to like go hiking and take super long walks everyday or else he will spaz out like a gorilla and break the house so ... :P )
Speaking of really long walks.... Yesterday I decided to go for a long walk in the woods so I went to Prevost and parked on the side of the 117 and went in the woods with my dog. You know I have these brilliant plans of walking in woods without paths and I have a really bad orientation so I got lost. Like SUPER LOST. Walked around for 3 hours trying to get back and had to call a friend to help me! HAHAHAHAHA. But I found my way out thank god and now I'm back to civilization. What I learned from this? Always bring someone who has a good sense of orientation and if not, pick a forest where there's paths so I can get back easily. 

Anyhow I need to go get ready but here are photos from the Team-Up Rail Challenge by PRFO on Sunday!
Enjoy,

Autumn colours

Hey dudes!!

So hopefully you guys have been having a great week! I've been busy so far, but it's great to be done school so I can focus more on myself and have time to take photos, go enjoy the beautiful autumn weather and slowly get ready for winter!

I love this time of season, you feel the cold breeze, the leaves are colourful and they slowly fall on the ground, going up north hiking and walking around the beautiful mountains feels just so good!
I don't understand how people can live in a city for so long without going up north and getting fresh air. I mean the city is awesome and all, great night life and there's always entertainment in the area, but up north with the mountains and all? It's amazing! It gives me a little paradise vacation when I need to clear my mind. I find people don't realize how amazing going up north really is, and how good it is for your body!

You don't HAVE TO go hike a mountain or like go do those kinds of activities, you can go for coffee, go shopping but just the fact of getting away from somewhere busy like the city really does feel good. TRUST ME.

Anyways as the leaves are starting to disappear, I made sure to make contact with a dear friend from college to do a shoot because she is beautiful and she is also a very talented signer. I guess when you meet certain people for shoots you need to analyze them and see what best suits them (concepts etc.)
This girl is such a nice, friendly, shy girl and she sings like Taylor Swift. I couldn't possibly shoot her in a dark area or at some candy shop looking all preppy! No, my concept for her was autumn colours, with her acoustic guitar, just being her in a nice light atmosphere.

So we started off in my house taking some poses on my awesome (super old antic) couch, and then went to the Parc equestre to go take a few frames in the autumn leaves. 
The results: AMAZING.

It suits her perfectly. A calm nice, angelic girl playing her guitar in the beautiful weather. 
I'm really happy of these photographs and I'm happy she also feels the same.
Enjoy,
