WELL, HELLO THERE!

My name is Celine-- Im sure you've come to that conclusion by now!

Born and raised in a small town on the outskirts of Canada's Capital-Ottawa...surrounded by the vast beauty of miles and miles of well... cornfields- along with my 11 siblings...I guess you could say I developed a pretty fabulous sense of humour among many other qualities over the years. There were a lot of " laugh or cry " moments growing up- which mostly ended up being tears of laughter.

I first picked up a camera when I was 13 years old.. I got a little fuji film camera for Christmas and fiddled away with it for years, teaching myself the importance of lighting especially. Eventually upgrading to a " dsrl " Canon Rebel xsi- I then taught myself how to shoot in Manual mode apposed to Auto.

Through out the years my passion only grew. I loved being able to capture something the way I wanted to ( having learned how to do that ) .. and making my poor siblings suffer through countless hours of photoshoots -- after having my two boys I decided to make the jump and REALLY upgrade to professional, top of the line equipment and I haven't looked back since.

Photography for me is an artistic outlet, half my family received the gift / talent of drawing and painting... which I will say went WAY over me...however, I've learned to use my camera as a paintbrush so to speak... and subjects as my canvas. From start to finish... helping with choosing the perfect location/setting for the vibes you're wanting to helping you decide on outfits etc- all of these factors are very important to creating the perfect photo.

I am super easy going, I LOVE to meet new people and get an insight of who they are. Im quite good at reading people for the most part.- Being a photographer, this is a vital key - whether its a family session and there's tension because you just had a disagreement over whose supposed to wear what or if it's your wedding day and you're overwhelmed and you need a minute to recoup.. or an engagement session and you're super nervous -- I control the atmosphere and its my job to make sure that things go smoothly- because however you're feeling in that moment will be portrayed in your photos.
