Shoot for designer "Charlotte by Myriam"

Last week end, I did a photo shoot for Ottawa designer Myriam Giroux and her new collection. We shot at the Hilton hotel located in Hull, QC - that venue has some beautiful furniture and architecture.

60?s shoot - behind the scenes

Yesterday I was at The Brig pub for a 60′s style fashion editorial shoot with make up artist (and fashion stylist) Meredith Lyman, hair stylist Kirsty Macdonald and model Katrina from Models International Management.
