- She's beautiful, kind, smart, strong, funny, brave,... so many things and also bipolar. She's my daughter, Magalie.
May is the month of Mental Health Awareness. I thought I was educated and aware, I humbly realize now I was ignorant.
Last year, mental health came with a force into our home.
We watched our daughter crash from the hight of a frightening manic episode into the depth of depression, and rise from it all with grace, humor and wisdom.
Magalie started documenting her life from the [...]

What's in a name? If you believe the experts, the answer is everything from behavior, to success in the job market and more!
Baby name expert Laura Wattenberg says choosing your newborn baby's name is so important because of what people really hear when they hear someone's name. "We all read a lot of information into a name. You hear a name, it's not just the sound. It's age, religion, ethnicity and gender and a whole world of culture packed into those few letters."
Wattenberg wrot [...]

- Every time I post on my blog, I struggle with writing the text. This time the challenge may be to keep it short. You see, this beautiful girl is mine. Thinking of her, looking at her floods me with emotions, pride and so so much love. She has been sitting in my heart, so comfortable, enlarging it and taking so much space in there. It has me worried that this summer when she heads off to college, her physical departure will deflate that pumped up heart of mine in a very painful way. I know [...]

- I am in France, back in my hometown where I grew up with all the people dear to me from my childhood. Living an ocean away from my family has been a real strain, and I recently decided that I need to come visit more often. It's a wonderful place to return to, of course, but the main motivation is to see my parents, my siblings, my family. Wherever they are is where I want to go. I'm not sure what brought on these reflections, perhaps the realization that life is going by, my parents are aging [...]

- March 1st... How are your new year's resolutions going for you? Did you jump on a new diet fad? Did you commit to getting back in shape, join a new gym like you promised yourself? It's all within our grasp, there are plenty of others who seem to lead a normal life, and manage to resist food temptations and find enough time in their schedule to workout. Did you get there? Are you still considering it? Are you searching for a little motivation? Here's a little help, a lot of help really: co [...]

- I am just stoked about this project and so excited to have received such an enthusiastic response to the application process. When thinking it through, I had some fears that I wouldn't be able to communicate how much fun this will be and I worried few would sign up. In the end, too many signed up! It was disheartening to not be able to take everyone who applied. I just wouldn't be able to handle such a big group. I apologize to all who are not part of the team and I am grateful to all to ha [...]

Bonjour blog!
Long time, no see:( Sorry for the long absence, I have been investing all my efforts into facebook lately, but now trying to rekindle with my blog, although I wonder if blogs are already a thing from the past? What do you think, are there still people out there reading this?
Since I've started my business, I have photographed a little of everything, ranging from pregnancy sessions, to newborn, babies, children, families, engagements, weddings and even dogs!
Overtime, I h [...]

- How exciting! Only 3 days after submitting my pictures to Design aglow, I am featured as their "inspiration". Their website is a digital candy store for me, I can't visit it without wanting a new template, I get lost while loading my cart with goodies. Back in Med school when they were teaching us to make Pascal programs for computers, I developed a dislike of these modern machines. After that grueling experience, I could not understand the appeal of computers to others, until I took a photoshop [...]

- There's an aura of admiration and awe around the blue angels. Here in Pensacola, there is a sense of pride to be Home to the elite group of pilot. When CJ and Anne came to me with his "retired" blue angel uniform to use as the cover of their son's, Christian's album, I thought it was a terrific idea. So much sentimentality, such a perfect way to convey what was happening in his family at the time of his birth, without having to glue memorabilia all over his album. However, once alone facing [...]

- 6 days in snow, it felt wonderful! A little cold, very cold actually, although the locals complained it was a hot winter... I must have become a Floridian all the way now, because it just felt freezing to me. We've been going to Big Sky several times, and the beautiful landscape has me in awe every time, the light there is remarkable perhaps because the horizon is so distant, perhaps because of the mountains... I wish I could hold some photography sessions there, just dreaming a little.

- I hope everyone had a joyous Halloween with many adorable trick-or-treaters at their door. I saw many clever costumes and excited little faces, smeared with candy. One of our neighbors goes "all out" on Halloween and has the most intriguing decorations about his propriety, my children have named his house the cool scary house. Among our favorite items, he has a witch's broom wondering (on it's own!!) around his sidewalk, sculpted bust tombstones talking, a witch slowly unfolding herself from [...]

- The announcement of the NAPCP image competition was finally released Friday, and I've been riding cloud 9th up on the 7th sky since then.
Back in July, as I was frantically busy getting ready for our summer trip to France, I received an email from the NAPCP regarding their annual international competition. The entry's deadline was end of July, but I had only a day to pack and to decide which images to use. Too much to do, too little time for it all, but how would I ever experience the joy of [...]
