The weather this month has been amazing. Hard to believe there was a snow day only one short month ago. It was so nice, on a recent trip home to Cape Breton it was actually warm enough to go beachcombing. I love the beach… the smell of salt water, the feel of the sand, the sound of the waves and the endless view of water and coastline. It is, therefore, a very rare treat to not only be strolling the beach with my family past Rememberance Day, but to be warm while doing it! In addition to thrill of finding beach glass along with the rocks we set out to collect we were treated to a visit from a fairly large fox who was obviously enjoying the beach and sun as well. I rushed to get out my camera before he ran off! No need. Instead he came to us and remained close by, frolicking in the sand.THAT’S the kind of day your children never forget.
These images taken along with other works of art will be available for purchase online soon. Stay tuned.
A new website in blog format hosted on my own domain has been in the works for a long time. Sometimes the stars need to be aligned in order for things to happen and it seems the universe is cooperating! If you read the initial post you know this site is still in the making. Visit often as there are many new ideas in the works. The logo above is one that I developed a few years back, and although I like it I never did feel it fit my personality … a little too flowery and flowy … and if you know me you know I’m not really daisy-like in nature 
I think I have finally hit my style: clean, crisp, straight foward, bold in color, no-nonsense (you get the idea). You may have noticed something more fitting as a copyright mark on photos posted this week and this new logo is in that same style. What do you think?? Feel free to leave a comment.
Great question! And in all honesty I’m not sure what the answer is because I’ve never had pictures taken there. I don’t wonder what they charge (I’m sure it’s less than me) and I think they do good work. They certainly have to do a booming business to keep prices so low… if they still are?? Having your photos done with a wide selection of painted backdrops, and a look at me and “smile” pose may be your style.
What I can tell you is what I am; you decide how I’m different. In my studio there is no rush. Getting great shots right away before patience is lost is definately the goal. But some, especially young children require some time to warm up. Don’t feel like you need to control your child. I know what to hold onto when they run! I enjoy photographs a little more on the art side but try to give you a selection of what you want. It is TRULY important to me that you love your pictures and I work hard to get the “good shot”. Some days are more challenging than others… like today with the more than beautiful, 20 month old, Energizer bunny named Zoey. Hopefully I succeeded with these shots below. Or others posted on my facebook page.
Even though Gallery Arseneau(.ca) is in the midst of some change it would be a shame to not post about another little “work in progress”. Lindsay and Mike won’t care if the site is a little chaotic. After all, in 6 short weeks (give or take) life for them will change forever when they welcome a little boy into a family who are not so patiently waiting. It is always a pleasure for me to be a small part of such a special event. Congratulations Carter family! Enjoy every minute.
A new and improved site is on the way! Please be patient as my photography skills are far better than my design skills. Check back or take a look at my portrait information or wedding work or both on current blog sites!
