As part of our new family regime, we are to eat an apple a day. Red, green or yellow. Macintosh, Empire, Granny or Gala. Whatever color or kind it is we made a pinky-promise that we will eat one a day. So far, so good. We eat them as is or mix them with salads, slice them for breakfast or bake them alongside a honey, dijon pork tenderloin for dinner!
DRUM ROLL PLEASE….
And here’s the star that keeps the doctor away!

Happy snacking!

Here’s our weekend update: We were at Flashcube doing some corporate shoots for Centdessin. We were doing product shots for an outdoor billiard table that can transform into a patio set that can accomodate 4 chairs included with the table set. The photos will be used for the clients upcoming website, catalogues, brochures and for anything else marketing.
It’s fun doing product shots because there are no limits! We can bend all rules as long as we get creative shots of the product being showcased. And transforming the pool table into a patio table took us less than 5 minutes! It was a breeze and I’m sure we’ll be seeing a few of these in some of your backyards this summer : ) I know I’ll have one in mine!
Check it out.

Following up from yesterday’s post, here are a few pictures taken at Bronzage Toscane in Terrebone. You can find them at 1355 Bd Grande Allée Lachenaie, QC , J6W4K6 (450) 964-1616. We weren’t able to shoot all of their tanning beds because they were all being used when we got there. The salon is great and has a wonderful atmosphere. One of the other bonuses is that the place is extremely clean plus the offer TONS of products and always greeted by wonderful, helpful staff. In the near future, they will be offering aesthetics, manicure and pedicure services. So if you’re a bride-to-be or just simply want a little ‘me’ time, make sure to visit Bronzage Toscane!







Happy Friday!

It’s Wednesday and it’s already the middle of the week and the 3rd of February! WOW! This past weekend, we shot at a tanning salon in Terrebonne and it was a nice contrast between the weather outside and the temperature inside the room:) Pictures soon to come.
But for the meantime, pictured below is the “Blissful Picture of the Week” which pretty much reflects what I have been feeling for the past few days. I have had this awful headache, that stuffy achy feeling, but in your head! On our way back from Terrebonne, we stopped at a local IGA to pick up dinner and the kids wanted to buy a coconut. Only until we came home have we realized that the coconut had a “face”. I just thought the picture was hilarious and very fitting for my headache complaints;)
The coconut on the other hand, tasted fantastic!

Enjoy!

The first month of 2010 is almost over and I must say that I have been very, very wise with my time. Running a photo studio (www.flashcube.ca), our wedding biz (www.blissfulcreationsblog.ca) a mom to three kids and a wife to my husband of nearly 10 years, is sometimes a lot to tackle in one day. So I really, really, REALLY need to be organized! But I love what I do and I get the best of both worlds being able to work from home, be with my kids and do what I love!
My choice for the “Blissful Picture of the Week” is one of my motivations. Have a productive day!

All this rain can’t be a good sign of a good summer! It feels like Spring in January and hopefully this year, Summer will make an appearance! Most importantly during the months of July and August where most of our wedding events are booked. I guess I’m getting way ahead of myself here. But hey, I’m sure you all agree with me that summer should be a warm one : )
On this post, I created two montage for the wedding show a couple of weeks ago. It’s a compilation of some of the weddings we did in 2009. And you’ll notice, there are shots with lots of umbrella in them! But rain or no rain, the photos and our beautiful Blissful couples were as happy as ever. Enjoy the video.

The “Blissful Picture of the Week” speaks for itself. The power and capabilites of the MACbook will be put to test. No doubt in my mind that both photo and video edits will be flawless…
Lots of ‘ooh’s’ and ‘aah’s’ filled the room when the box was opened.
Here you go…the newest member of our team ; )

everybody now, ooh…ahh…

The Salon des Mariés just finished and yet another bridal show is over. For those of you who weren’t able to make it over this weekend, here is the new wedding trailer that captivated our future Blissful couples. The song choice stopped people on their tracks and was delightfully surprised by our cinematic and photographic style. It was also fun to see couples who saw us at a few weddings we did in 2009, who attended as guests and enjoyed seeing their friends on our 2010 trailer.
Here’s to another year of shooting beautiful people! Enjoy!
