Fitness photography of Veronique Lauzon
Vero came to me because she needed some fitness photos to show off all her hard work! She has lost over 60lbs that she gained after surgery and has become a Beach Body coach to help others reach their goals. You can see more of my fitness images in my Fitness Portfolio
In her own words:

I started my health and fitness journey in January 2016, (that’s a lie, I’ve been struggling with my weight my whole life… In
January 2016 it all changed). In January 2016 I was going through a depression after dealing pain levels around 8 or 9 for 2 consecutive years. I thought the back surgery would fix it all, and although it got rid of a lot of the pain, it didn’t get rid of it all. The muscles were so atrophied that my range of motion was pretty ridiculous. I was TIRED, and tired of being tired, of not being able to put socks on without suffering and so many other reasons…
NOW? Socks are definitely not a problem, pain levels? SOMETI
MES I can feel a 1. I can do the things I love to do like go to the movies with friends, or dance, I was able to get back to riding my horse. I get to go back to the martial arts I loved so much. I feel 100% better and don’t have to take medications for it. I have lost over 50lbs, no I am not at my “goal weight” but I have my LIFE back!! There is no magic recipe to make you feel better, happier, healthier…but it is SIMPLE.
Good food, in the right portions and ratios, and 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily.
This decision I made, it changed more than my body, it changed my whole mindset. You want to know what I do with this newfound mindset? I help others find their own strength.
If I can help you feel the same, let me know!! I would be honoured to help you along with your journey. ?

Professional Headshot for Sebastien

November 12, 2016

Professional business portrait
Sebastien contacted me because for a headshot because as Financial Adviser he wanted to present a professional image. You can see other images in my headshot portfolio
Investing in a professionally created headshot is an investment in your personal brand. It shows you at your very best, the way you want prospective clients to see you. Most of my clients are not naturally photogenic. As a result, amateur photography can actually end up making them look worse than they do in person, and definitely not your best. As professional photographer that specializes in headshots, I know how to position you, how to choose the best backdrop and how to use lighting to get the best shot possible. Of course, the most important thing is get just that right expression.
I also provide all my clients with many different formats of their image so no matter how they use it, they have it ready at their disposal.

Maternity

Beautiful Maternity Images

October 2, 2016

Some people call them Maternity images, others Pregnancy photos or baby bump photos. Personally, there is just something about a black and white fine art nude maternity image that makes me happy. I think its the simplicity, the demonstration of pure, natural beauty.
Pregnancy is a very significant time in a woman’s life. I love to capture that “pregnant woman glow”! In the end, you will have a treasured memory, not only for you, but for your unborn child as well. I know some women don’t feel pretty during pregnancy, but I would love to how you how beautiful you are! It doesnt matter if its your first child, or your last, I promise to create an image that will make you smile and maybe even cry happy tears.
To get that beautiful round belly, I like to have my clients come in around 36 weeks. It’s early enough that she will most likely not go into labour before the shoot but also late enough to show off that full round belly.
You can see more examples of my maternity images in my Maternity/Pregnancy portfolio

Eye Catching Commercial Photography

September 12, 2016

What exactly is Commercial Photography? In my mind, Commercial photography is photography created with the intent of making my client money; essentially, photography for commerce and business. Most commercial photography is used for marketing materials and advertising for the client. It gives my clients the ability to sell their product or services. My goal is always to create compelling visual images that speak to the target audience of that product.
I especially love creating commercial photography images with other small businesses. To see more of my commercial work, see my Commercial Photography Portfolio.

Here is a screenshot of their website, where they are using my image prominently to show their clients exactly what they do best.

Here is a view of one of their images where you can see I used the right lighting to bring out all the detail in the concrete to truly show their craftsmanship! The goal of this image was to show the especially details in the side of the concrete, and how its not just a boring monotone, textureless grey.

Nudity is certainly not necessary and we will not push you to go further than you feel comfortable with. Sexy isn’t always about how much you show, it’s all about how you show it !
