Hey dudes! Okay so I am very sorry I didn't have a chance to write a blog.. Honestly it feels like forever and proof, when I got on to blogger I had to relog myself in and usually it just logs myself in so ONE CHANCE I REMEMBER MY PASSWORD EH?! Anyways, so I hope everyone has being doing awesome, Fall has finally arrived in which I'm kind of excited for! I love sweater season and fall fashion is always the most interesting I find. EXCEPT when there's wind. Yesterday I was wearing a big red hat and I had to hold it down because of the wind all day so eventually I just gave up and left in in the car. So since Fashion week what has happened to me?! Well remember how I gave out like a gazillion cards out and talked to numerous people in the fashion industry? Well.... It was cool I really enjoyed the opportunity but I go 0 likes and no one has messaged me since :( EXCEPT ONE PERSON! In which if she is reading this right now THANK YOU TIMES A MILLION! So I go a little down there because I was kind of hoping to get a few more likes and maybe an email or two but oh well! It's a tough industry and you fall down once, you have to get back up on your feet and start another way into getting your name out! And so I did! So I decided to send some emails to the people I have met, and I got a response by The Black Sheep Fashion! Just to fill you in, it's only a year and a half old canadian company who blogs about fashion and does many photoshoots all around fashion. They help get designers publicity as well as artists a shout out and I honestly couldn't of fell on a better company to start my career off! Jessica, the founder and artistic director met me yesterday and let me just tell you how warming she is. We talked and talked about her company and what she wants to show and the opportunities in being with The Black Sheep and I really felt encouraged and boosted to work with them! So here I am this morning waking up with a new team in my head, excited to be working as a photographer and creating pretty art and growing with a company from the very start! So things started out a little rough but hey in the end, I got up again and tried another way to contact people and it worked! And it really gave me a boost to keep working and getting in contact with people because this is really something I dream of deeply and to have my dreams come true is my first priority! And so other than that great news, it's my birthday in less than two weeks! YAY! Finally! It's going to feel good to be 19 finally! I feel like I've been 18 forever, so being able to say 19 instead of 18 is going to feel somewhat more mature than who I am! My father and his girlfriend came to visit me this past weekend to see me before my birthday and it was great seeing them too. It sucks sometime being far away and not being able to come down and they can't ever come down so even if it was on a short period (Way too short to be honest) it was good and felt nice! Now it's already 9:30 and I need to go get ready for my shoot today! But hey, this time I PROMISE I WILL WRITE A BLOG SOONER! Hopefully by this weekend!! So stay tuned and PS. My website should be published by the end of this week! :) Here is a photo from the Stephanie Lalanne photoshoot I did, I was having fun retouching so here is a edited version of a picture of her! Enjoy,
Good Morning people!!!!!! So Montreal Fashion week has officially ended and as much I wish it didn't, it feels good to sleep in and relax for a bit! I swear it was like non stop, Traveling all over MTL going to conferences, to amazing shows! It was like a dream in a way, to be a part of that weeks full excitement. It is my first Fashion week! (Well full fashion week, considering I have been to the last february show but only one night) and I cannot wait for the next one! **Coffee sipping break** So yeah, and sorry about not writing a blog the Saturday morning (Following up MFW) I was so tired I was sick all day and didn't do much to be quite honest. So here I am this morning drinking some warm coffee slowly waking up to a nice working at home kind of day and later on hitting the gym to loose a few calories! Getting back to last week, Thursday and Friday were too show days at l'Arsenal in which it was my chance to shine and give out my cards. It was very intimidating at the beginning because it is truly my dream career and knowing no one at the event and having to go up to complete strangers alone and to present myself well.... It was quite nerve-racking! I think the thing that got me more nervous was the fact that I HAD to give a good image and talk to people that I might be working with in the near future and that have a step into the fashion industry! It stressed me out so much I was shaking and just the fact that these people are amazing I kept telling myself how I need to sell myself out and well... Hopefully that's what I did! My ice breaker was a very nice mother and daughter and then it just broke loose, I started talking to people, handing out my cards and trying to make a name of myself. It was a thrilling experience, meeting people in my dream and future industry and to be able to have a nice conversation with them! Some of them gave me advice and most of them admired my determination in coming here this week and approaching people! It was so much fun and let me tell you everyone was so warming and I think that's what I needed. Warm people to help me inspire me and continue in this industry and to make my dream come true! During the shows, I got to sit front row during a couple of shows which was hallucinating and I even got a present from NISSE(One of my favourite Montreal based designers) and guess what it was?! A SCARF! (FYI. Scarves are my favourite accessory of all time, I literally have a million so it was pretty awesome getting a nice scarf!) My favourite presentation of Thursday night I am going to have to go with Nisse(Not because I got a gift) But because I found it was very sophisticated, soft and beautiful! It is definitely my style of clothing and I loved the show, every piece really did made me dream! And then Friday night it was obviously Caroline Constas! It was a real treat having a NY based designer present her line in Montreal and that I was there to see the whole thing! And just a little FYI, every time a model walked down the runway with one of her pieces I was amazed, wowed out and completely mesmerized! It was amazing. Especially the yellow raincoat I was like OMG I WANT IT! Maybe one day I will get to meet her in person and perhaps do work with her... Would be pretty cool and who knows where I will be in 2 or 3 years from now! Now I just need to keep working on getting my name out there and to focus on graduating(APRIL 4TH 2014!!!!) Oh and getting ready for my half year expo which is ...THIS THURSDAY! Note to self: I really need to start doing my passe partouts for the expo! So on this note, (And I am quite sorry this blog doesn't have much inspiring quotes and messages it was more about the MFW) here are some pictures from last week I took for fun! PS. Today I will be working on my website and hopefully it will be published next week! Enjoy, xo
Hey guys!! Well this week is a big week for me! (Okay well not really week.. More like long weekend and week put together!) With my fashion editorial shoot Saturday morning (omg waking up early, getting down to the city and shooting was quite painful considering I woke up at 6 every morning and that I was kind of looking forward in relaxing and having a late morning) ALTHOUGH it was still pretty awesome because I find that there is no time to not take pictures. The sun was shinning through my studio as my team were preparing and even tho I was quite tired it was fun and I loved it! So with that, and being an assistant at a wedding convention for my favourite wedding photographer(Beautifoto, if you have not checked him out on FB you should.) which was today and the last day tomorrow(I'm in bed and my feet are aching from standing in heels all day but hey I missed selling and talking to people so it felt good, and the day passed fast! Really fast which is quite surprising! Watching the whole convention made me dream about having my own wedding one day.. And it was so cute watching all the cute fiancees walking by so happy! For my break I couldn't help but walk down the aisles and having the people give me free stuff even tho I wasn't a bride to be(HAHA I signed up for a contest for a honey moon to Paris and I made people believe that my ring was being resized so that I could get a bunch of free knickknacks.) I hope those people don't see me working at the booth tomorrow or... oops! But oh well, seriously, I'm a girl and girls do that, we like pretty things and why not get free things!? AND WITH THAT COMES MONTREAL FASHION WEEK! Which starts tuesday so I really don't have a day off considering tomorrow is Monday and I will be at the wedding convention! But hey it's all good because I have been waiting for MFW since last february so honestly I am so excited! As much as I can get shy around fashion people I told myself that I will give out my cards and try and get my name out there! And I will oh I will for sure! I have to, honestly. So I won't have a easy week also considering I have college thursday and friday to top it off! But again, it will be exciting! And from all the depressing emotions who are pouring into me lately(like honestly I don't get it because usually I'm super happy and these days I've been depressed, watery eyes for nothing and just feeling crappy) I think a busy week like this will make my emotions go away(alright well I really sure hope it does because I can't take it anymore!) But let me just tell you my depresses(so not a word I think) quickly went away (well not completely but a huge part) when I got home from Montreal and saw a little cute note my boyfriend wrote to me with a kinder surprise egg. OMG CUTE I KNOW RIGHT?! Seriously, and from the fact that lately I've been going through financial problems and opening my fridge finding out my boyfriend stocked up my fridge with food INCLUDING some sushi for dinner?! Oh hell my eye started watering.. I think that is the nicest thing anyone has done for me. By far. And I feel bad in a way but it was so nice, and thoughtful. And not seeing him at all this weekend makes me miss him even more! Like some people say ''You need to catch the right fish in the sea'' Well I did. I really did, and I'm so happy to have found him. It also made me realize in a way how lucky and far I have came since last year. Last year I was dating a schmuck, I was no where near my dream in photography and I was quite sad! Now I have a caring, amazing boyfriend, my career is slowly working its way up, I have a caring family, great friends! My life is finally shaping into what I have dreamed a few years back. And so much more. And this is just the beginning. Maybe I feel depressed these days, but it's just temporary, and the best thing for me right now is to stay surrounded by loving and caring people and to focus on my art. Thank you, and enjoy,
