Hi there! I'm Véronique, lifestyle photographer, specializing in personal branding, family photography, corporate headshots and commercial, editorial, advertising and architectural photography. It's a mouthful! I have been shooting for 20 years, and still love the sound of the shutter.

My career as a photographer began in the bustling streets and eclectic social backdrop of my beautiful hometown, Montréal, where I went on to develop my passion into genuine professional ability with studies in commercial photography at the College du Vieux Montréal. Following my studies, I had the privilege to benefit from several years of hands-on mentoring and instruction from some of Canada's top commercial portrait and fashion photographers, including the talented crew of the renowned ShootStudio.
I went on to apply my post-production experience, when managing the National Film Board of Canada's photo library and archives, where I worked alongside many prominent Canadian filmmakers and animators and was deeply inspired by the wealth of visual stimuli and creative energy to be found there. Moving to Canada's vibrant West Coast further expanded my body of photographic skills, with the fantastic landscapes of Vancouver Island leading me to a new appreciation for natural beauty and developing my love of landscape photography. This newfound interest did not, however, abate my passion for portrait photography, which has always been rooted in my fascination with people and their boundlessly unique stories. Photography allows me to storytell, weaving intricate stories, capturing instants of time condensed into stillness, immortalizing the fleeting moments and emotional minutiae, which reflect the infinite individuality of my subjects.
