Lucinda & Brian - Engagement Shoot
(more photos after the jump)
If you look at the weather for the past two weeks in Montreal, rain has been forecasted 8 days out of 7 (yes, I know that doesn’t make sense). The days that did turn out sunny still had a 60% chance of showers, which made it very difficult to try to plan a day to shoot outdoors.
Luckily for us, last Friday was one of those days which went against the odds, and the first “perfect” day we’ve had in this transition from Spring to Summer.
Had an awesome long week-end, shooting every day from Friday till tonight (Tuesday).
Thanks for the co.mpany everyone. Special thanks to:
@Evan Shuster (photographer)
@Dalia Kamal (hair stylist)
@Jessica Cabigas (make-up artist)
@Meredith Sarmiento (assistant photographer, pictured above)
Stay tuned for all the updates coming very soon.
BRB, teachers gonna teach.

Montreal’s “Orange Julep” is a very recognizable landmark for many reasons. First, it can clearly be seen when driving along the Decarie highway (AUT-15) which is one of the main roads that lead you to & from downtown Montreal. Secondly, It serves the most delicious blend of Orange Julius, brewed on-site…
HATERS.
Evan Shuster, a friend of mine from 333 Photo Inc. asked me to take part on a personal project he had. I met Evan while enrolled in the cinema/communications program in college (in ‘03-‘05?), and I was always impressed with his creativity and his distinct style. A few years later, I found out that he pursued a career in photography, working with 333 and their wedding division, de Belle Photography.
Evan designed this mug with a very clever, and truthful acronym for “HATERS.” Visit his blog for more information on the concept and design, as well as inquiring about ordering the mug itself.
Not only is he very talented, he is also a very genuine person, and I always look forward to working with him. It’s always a pleasure giving him a hand because you can feel the creative aura around him, which is very inspiring.

Lost a center cap to Montreal’s amazing roads…
Jessica & John Edward Photoshoot
Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “Jean-Noel, why are you taking photos of STOCK cars?”
If you have ever talked to me about cars, the first thing I will tell you is to change the wheels, and lower it. When siblings Jessica and John Edward (J.E.) contacted me for a shoot, I knew exactly how I wanted it to go…

Had some business to take care of in downtown Montreal. Great afternoon to just walk around and admire the city and it’s people.
JNQ&Co. @ La Braderie de Mode Québécoise
Today is the last day of the Braderie!
Thursday was my first day visiting the Braderie de Mode Québécoise, and I am very impressed with their offerings. This isn’t one of those “up to 80% off”, it actually IS at least 50 to 80% off! Great deals on clothing, dresses, bathing suits, high-quality leather, and many choices for men as well. One aspect that I appreciate from Québec designers is their attention to detail; the very small things that make a piece of clothing that much more desirable.
I was also impressed with the selection of Mackage jackets, as well as the large area of Rudsak items on the bottom floor, with many bags and purses starting at only $100+. Footwear @ Rudsak (for men & women) was only $40 on Thursday, but I’m sure the selection has decreased since then.
You can also visit InFashion to see a few items/brands available at the sale.
Support your local Québec designers! They opened their doors this morning at 10:00am, and it will end today at 5:00pm at the Bonsecours Market (350 St-Paul East).
Enjoy,
Jean-Noel

I wish I could do what this guy does for a living. PLUS still have time to do what I do now. Never enough hours in a day…
“Shortly after 9/11 I closed my showroom and began focusing more on photography. I didn’t want to become a “fashion photographer” but I knew somehow that my loves of fashion and photography would eventually merge. I just never guessed it would be in the form of a blog.”
