This February has been a perfect month for winter photography.
A photoshoot with Christie Ressel is always inspiring and a great reminder that fashion is not only a mood booster but also a form of self-care. Check out these winter looks Christie created and if you want more guidance, keep scrolling down to watch her video about winter trends.

We loved capturing Hair & Makeup Artist Sara in her beautiful new studio.
Sara is one of our hair & makeup artists and helps us during countless photoshoots. We offer hair & makeup services so your photoshoot day is stress-free (no need to run around town for different appointments), you can feel your best and leave pampered & empowered.
What Sara loves most about her work is turning women into the most stunning versions of themselves. We love working with Sara, because her gentle approach allows to create a look women truly want, so they can rock their photos.
In her free time, Sara loves to meditate, work out, read and cook.
A branding photoshoot was a great occasion to capture Sara’s bridal work.

It’s the perfect time of the year to get really cozy…
Cold weather and Ontario lockdown mean staying home as much as we can. Just like so many of us, I’ve been reading a lot, watching a lot of shows, changing up my makeup routine, doing some online shopping and also eating a lot of yummy food. Here are some of my favourite things that made my winter fun.
Lipstick
A client recommended this lipstick and I honestly can’t get enough of it. I think you can tell - I got it in three colours already. It also lives up to its name and I usually only apply it twice a day. Putting on lipstick is an instant mood booster for me, especially in winter.
2. Nine West booties
I couldn’t be more happy with this purchase. I love the texture of the shoes, they’re also very warm and comfortable. The heel is sturdy and not too high.
3. Music: Frederic Chopin (Fryderyk Szopen)
Chopin’s music does something to me. Time suddenly stands still and I forget about everything else. Chopin is the most popular and beloved Polish composer and pianist. His music is intertwined with a very dramatic period in Polish history, which together with his romantic nature gives it an unforgettable edge. “Ballade No.1” is of one my favorite Chopin’s pieces and Zimerman’s interpretation is undoubtedly beautiful.

4. Food: dosas
I’ve always been a big fan of Indian dishes but I haven’t tried dosas before. When a friend mentioned it, I knew I had to order it. I wasn’t dissapointed! Dosas are South Indian staple consisting of crepes accompanied with sides such as sambar and various kinds of chutney.
5. Good Fats Lemon Mousse
I really crave snacks in winter and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’ve been snacking on Good Fats bars for some time, but this new flavour (lemon mousse) is my absolute favorite. It’s also white chocolate which I love. The bars are keto friendly and only have 190 calories each.
6. Book: Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
I have been reading so much lately but this book is such a stand out for me. It’s so poetic and beautiful!
Synopsis: For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village. Kya Clark is barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 1969, when the popular Chase Andrews is found dead, locals immediately suspect her
7. The Sinner
I have been watching a ton of crime/mystery, to a point where I’m getting oversaturated with the genre. “The Sinner” really entertained me and I think Jessica Biel did a wonderful job.
8. Photo of the season: Chelsea
This has been my second time photographing Chelsea and this time around she wanted some sensual photos captured. I love working with clients multiple times as I feel we start “peeling the onion” and get deeper into their soul…
I hope you enjoyed this blog post & found it inspiring! Enjoy your winter,

Every single woman should be captured beautifully at least once in her life and experience a photoshoot!
With some exciting changes in her life, Kim wanted to celebrate herself and do something for herself. We had so much fun and the entire afternoon was filled with laughter.
“Thank you so much! I truly had such a wonderful time shooting this special moment with you. [...] I was looking at the photos again last night and it was making me emotional to really take in the beautiful photos!”

A boudoir photoshoot with Chelsea was such a creative project.
Chelsea wanted iconic sensual photos, so beautiful lace lingerie and an oversized white shirt were a perfect outfit!

What a year it has been! 2020 can be in the dictionary under the word “challenging”, to put it mildly.
It has been tough for most of us as we had to adjust, change, hustle, let go, grieve.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by the pandemic and while it’s not in my power to help everyone,
I wanted to do something for my fellow small business owners.
I’ve put together a Gift Guide where I believe every woman can find a great gift!
This Gift Guide is not sponsored in any way. I simply tried and LOVED these products from these rockstar women!
Decor Accessories from Decor By Christine
I’ve purchased from Christine’s online boutique many times throughout the years as I’ve been decorating my house. Here are some of my favorite picks:
Picasso Inspired Throw
This Picasso Inspired throw is not just beautiful but also super soft and double-sided (with one side black and one side white).
Prayer Beads
Prayer Beads are a beautiful and mindful gift. They can be used for decorating (my favorite place for them is a coffee table) or as a prayer or meditation accessory.
“Woman Line Art” Planter Pot
I love the versatility of this Planter Pot. It’s gorgeous! I also sometimes use smaller planter pots as pen holders in my office.
2. Tea from Tea Freak Fine Teas
Tea is always a good idea and this tea will steal your heart. It offers the finest ingredients - I fell in love with these blends and aromas.
3. A Course or Workbook from Christie Ressel
A gift from a Personal Stylist for someone looking for style clarity. Here are some of my favorites:
How to Find and Style Your Body Type
Feeling good about your style truly begins with knowing your body type and which clothes compliment it.
Need I say more? Knowing how to online shop to find amazing deals and avoid frustration is such an important skill.
4. A kimono, scarf or print from Art of Marina
I fell in love with Marina’s art over a year ago - her products add so much beauty to our everyday lives. My top picks are:
Art of Marina offers so many beautiful kimonos
Art of Marina Kimonos are wearable art. Luxurious and beautiful!
Everyone can find something for themselves or a friend when it comes to these stunning prints. An iconic actress or a powerful quote? The choice is yours.
5. Body Butters from Atma Things
My absolute favorite body butter. Atma Things body butters are not just nourishing for your body but also your senses as their aroma is AMAZING!
Happy shopping & Happy Holidays!
