Real Life ~ Montreal Family Photographer

mell — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:28:03 +0000

I decided that rather than only posting about my wonderful sessions, I would start blogging a little about my family life.

I am constantly stressing that I value giving my clients a personalized experience. That it is one of the most important aspects of my job and my creative mind, that it is what gives me the results that I strive to get. I live for it. Not only behind my camera but I try to keep it real in all aspects of my life.

Starting now and continuing once a week, I will share a little about me and my life, my thoughts, my feelings. What better way to personalize my services than sharing some personal stuff about myself. Even the not so great stuff. I just want to keep it real.

Since I know a big camera in your face can be intimidating, and if you value photos the way I do, then you will want to know a bit about the person behind the lens, the one handling your days old baby, the one asking you if you want shots of your bare belly when you are carrying that beautiful baby.

So here goes.

My main issue is keeping up with all I have to do. Can you believe that! I swear I never have enough time to get all the things I need to get done, I do my best but sometimes(many times), yes, I feel like I am spread too thin. I am a real person, I am not a super woman. I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a business woman. I am expected to be so many things all at once it can get slightly overwhelming but you know what…I am just me.

I am not perfect.

I cry,

I laugh,

I scream,

I sing off key,

I sometimes forget to brush my hair before running out to bring all 5 kids to school.

I am not perfect but I have finally learnt that perfect is unrealistic. I make mistakes.

One thing you can guarantee, and I hope most people who know me would agree is that I put my heart into everything I do. This got me thinking. Though everything appears to be so perfect on the outside, things on the inside were actually falling apart.

I decided very recently, that I need to learn to better balance my time. I have been working so hard at getting this business off the ground, having babies and raising them … that somewhere along the way, the special time with my Carmine always seemed to get pushed to the back burner. I realized through our fighting, that he needs me too, and I need him. We are the foundation of our home. If we aren’t good, everyone feels it.

So this is for him. I had to share this photo of him with our youngest. As strong headed as he is, he has such a soft side and I captured it perfectly here. It is what I love so much about him.

I love you baby. xoox

New at Mellanied Photography ~ Montreal’s Family Photographer

mell — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 16:34:26 +0000

With the holidays around the corner, I thought I would bring out an all new favorite of mine…I actually finally got up a wall display of photos of the 5 kids…and decided to try the all new *LUXE* Floatmounts.

These babies are to die for! Honestly, or maybe it is because they really are taken of “my babies” but what an amazing combo.

I have canvas up on my walls and swore by them but I wanted something a little more subtle for my living room and these were the perfect fit…I love having a variety in my home and these just make me smile!

Take a look, what better way to get a feel for what they are that to see some photos.

Enjoy!

Fun Contest ~ Montreal Family Photographer

mell — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:48:58 +0000

In light of my upcoming birth I thought I would have a fun contest for all my fans and previous clients.

It is simple….just guess when the baby will be born in the comment field below.

You *must* enter a date and time.

A little background:

This is my third child.

My first son was late, and I was induced 2 days after my due date. I was in labor for 18 hours and had him at 3:41 AM.

My second son came 10 days early. I was in labor for 6 hours and had him at 12:05 pm.

During my 20 week Ultrasound the Doctor said he/she (it is a surprise) was measuring small.

At my Obgyn appointment last week she said the baby was neither small nor big and should be the same size as my last baby which was 7lbs 8oz.

I am now 28 weeks pregnant and my estimated due date is July 23rd.

Good LUCK and the winner will receive 50% off a fall session with me when I resume working.

Feel Free to ask any questions in the comments below..I will gladly answer. This contest will be open until further notice.

Two Cute ~ Montreal Twin Photographer

Thanks Catherine for giving me the pleasure of photographing your little angels, they are just precious, and already so full of life.

I have to admit, it was quite challenging to work with not one but two tiny babies, they are little cuddle bugs and so sweet!

I can only imagine how you feel, you look amazing!

Enjoy your little sneak peek:)

Last but not least the two older ones, I just loved the way they were both looking at me here! You should be proud Cat, you have a gorgeous family! xoxox
