I speak French. When I was 20, I ventured from Quebec to Alberta to live in an English-speaking environment. I thought I was leaving for the summer… Little did I know, a month or two after setting foot in Edmonton I would meet the man who’d later become my husband, my business partner and the […]

Outdoors
I’m an outdoorsy kind of person and a nature lover. Camping only feels authentic to me when I sleep in a tent and am far away from luxury. I like to keep busy and be on the move. I can’t wait to be a part of your next outdoor or camping adventure!
Travel
I love to travel. I especially enjoy discovering people and cultures that are completely different than mine. One of my dreams came true when I lived on and off in Cameroon, Africa, for about 2 years. I got to develop great friendships and was exposed to the culture while training interns and teaching graphic design […]
Opposites
I have eclectic tastes. I love clean and modern design, but I’m also attracted to vintage places and objects, old decrepit buildings, raw textures… I love classic, I love quirky. I love kids with cute clothes. I love kids who create their own unique fashion with unmatched top and bottom. I like things and people […]
Water
There’s something I love about water. Wading, swimming and playing in the warm waves by a nice sandy beach… Although Alberta is far from any sea or ocean, I’m happy we have found a few favorite spots to play close to home. If you’re anything like me, let me know in advance and I’ll come […]
Temperature
While I love the snow and winter sports, I should probably have been born in a tropical country —I’m always cold and I love hot weather. Here’s a hint for you: if you plan on swimming in a stream or pool during our time together, I might not get wet unless the water is very […]
Crafts
I love to do crafts with my kids. When they were younger, I often ended up doing most of the craft by myself because I misjudged the complexity of the task. Thankfully, things have improved with experience! Sign up to my newsletter for occasional craft ideas to try with your own little ones.
Mess
My house is a mess more often than not. I live with busy kids. Plus, I’d rather spend my time doing what I love than spending it cleaning! I was quite happy when someone pointed me to a study about creative people being messy. So don’t worry about the mess in your own home when […]
Cheese
Don’t get me wrong—I stay away from the kind that makes you smile for the camera! Many years ago, my husband lovingly diagnosed me with cheese disease, an inconsequential food addiction I might have transmitted to our son! So if you hire me for a day in the life session and decide to feed me […]
Coffee
I’m one of those rare people who don’t drink coffee. I do enjoy ice cold water, freshly squeezed orange juice with extra pulp, Corona beer, wine and sangria, to name a few. Should we say cheers to meeting each other over a drink? Get in touch
