here comes the sun

Today, very close to home. I was kicked out of this place by a million bees :S

How gorgeous is Gabriela?

I was looking forward to this session, I got to photograph one of my favorite clients again! I did a photo session with Gabriela and her beautiful sisters and mom one year ago. Now she's almost sixteen years old and she's just blossoming! For some of these photos we went to a nearby marina and the rest were made in the little park in front of my house. I had such a hard time choosing which images to post, but here are some of my favs:

best friends

I was recently hired to do a session with two BFF teenage girls who are going to be separated because one of them is moving to Europe while the other one is staying in Montreal. They wanted to have this memory of their friendship. When I was taking these pictures I relived the day when my best friend Sara left Caracas to go live in Orlando, Florida. I was 16 years old, and to me losing someone so special was a tragedy. I would've loved to have some pictures like these, but I have something even better: I still have Sara.

lake mom

One of my favorite places and lovely parents to be. I can't wait to meet their baby Marianne!

coteau-du-lac

Last Sunday we went to Coteau-du-Lac's wharf to have a picnic. Then, at the historic site, Valeria - as always - played a while in the cold water. I think this girl is a river nimph.
