ABOUT
In this section, you will get to know me more.
First, I must say that I am a person with a lot of empathy. I am an emotional person. Often, I will shed a tear during a wedding. I am touched by the words you both exchange during the ceremony. I am touched to see the love you have for each other.
Also, I can say that I am a positive person ( even though my blood type is negative !). I need to see love and harmony around me. In fact, it is essential. I surround myself with good people. Life is so much better that way.
Finaly, I am a person who believe in a dream. My dream of becoming a wedding photographer. My dream of doing what I love the most in life. My dream of photographying happiness. The dream is now reality and it is just amazing.

HI, I'M NADINE
I live in a light yellow house in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with my husband Mathieu and our 3 kids: Raphaël, Marguerite & Mathilde.
I can tell you that I wear glasses since I am 13 years old. I have curly hair but sometimes I straighten them. I have my office at home. Photography has such an important place in my life and I take care of my business with all my hearth. I like to dress warmly to play in the snow with my kids during winter or have bicycle ride with them during summer. I do the best “sucre à la crème” ever. My family is saying it. For my part, it is just too sweet !

I am a mom of 4 children. A baby boy deceased “in utero” at 38 weeks. My biggest hearthbrake. After his departure, we had other kids that brought so much softness in our lives. Twins (a boy and a girl) and an other girl with blond and curly hair.
It was after the death of my son that I realized the importance to live our passions. With his departure, my little boy taught me that I had to enjoy every moment of my life; life is too short to be merely contemplated. So I decided to live this wonderful passion for photography every day.

I love to travel and learn about other cultures. This is why I return rarely to the same location twice. Life is short and there is still so much beautiful places to see. I have been already in many american states, canadian provinces and few countries: Cuba, Mexico, Honduras, Costa-Rica, Colombia, Morocco, Nigeria, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria & Turkey. My next trip: California !

I grew up on a farm. As a child, I loved looking at the sunset. I was looking at the fields behind my house and was breathing freshly cut hay. I was free to run and jump in mud holes. Maybe that is why nature is such important in my life, in my photographs. Nature is essential to recharge my batteries !

In University, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Political Sciences and a certificate in Human Ressources. My diplomas in hand, I worked as a public servant. Photography came in my life in that period. I completed several courses, the majority at Collège Marsan in Montreal which specializes in Photography. Every year, I take one or many photography trainings (in person or on-line) to learn in the different aspect of wedding photography. I found that fundamental. It is a way to elevate my photography to an other level.
