Alexandra & Simon Maternity

Alexandra & Simon were my students in Basics of Photography course. And as a Christmas gift, Simon got Alexandra a maternity photo session. We already had a lot of laughs in class, so we all knew it is going to be super fun to do this photo shoot.

5AM in Montreal

What happens when a professional model is expecting a baby? A very high fashion maternity session that what happens. Julia is a gorgeous model based in Montreal, but also an expecting mother and a great pianist. So, one morning we decided to combine a maternity session with fashion portraiture. And here is what happened that morning.

Hot Day in Botanical Garden: Part 2

As the first part was written by the model from the shoot Natasha, the second part is written by the second model that day - Ilana! It is about her experiences that day. But since we had two shoots, the main focus of Ilana's article is on the second part of the day and our adventures.

The Bed in the Water

This shoot was in the plans for few weeks before it finally happened. It took a while to find a perfect location, great model and we, of course, needed some help with transporting the bed to the water front. One Monday noon it finally happened.

Evening light

In the past winter, I've passed by Rockland in Montreal pretty often on my way home. Especially in the evening. And one of those evenings, while stuck in traffic, I noticed the light in the parking lot of the centre. It was so beautiful, that I was absolutely had to test it out with the model, to maybe bring different models with different looks there afterwards.
