Ottawa Photographer – She will Change your Life

During the fall of 2011, I took a 5 week Be Social Webinar with Lisa Larter. Not only did I learn to properly use social media and keep abreast with the current trends, I met some wonderful ladies such as Marlene Keys.

After interacting with Marlene on Facebook and Twitter, I decided to invite her for a coffee, so we could meet face to face.

We discussed different topics. Marlene has the power to change the way you think, I know she made me reflect on some of my thoughts.  I twisted Marlene’s arm to step into the studio for a few shots, so I could feature her on my blog, share what she does and how amazing she is.

Marlene is a Certified Law of Attraction trainer, who helps people understand that their mindset is as important as their skill set, when reaching for improvement in any area of their life – relationship, career, money and health. She helps people become aware of this, tune into this, and modify their mindset to attract joy, prosperity and freedom.

Marlene offers tele-classes and webinars in addition to live speaking events on using deliberate attraction, the artful application of the Law of Attraction.

Marlene is a Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer with a Masters degree in Business Administration. She has spent the majority of her career in the pharmaceutical industry in senior sales and marketing capacity. In addition to running her Keys to Law of Attraction business, Marlene has been working as a marketing consultant for the past year and a half.

Marlene supports people in understanding and practicing the art of deliberate attraction, so they can have more of what they want and less of what they don’t.

Ottawa Wedding Photographer – Claudine & Julien’s Beautiful Fall Wedding

On this cool, crisp autumn day, we started at Julien’s home with photos of Julien, his parents and the bridal party. Even Amy, the dog, was involved in the photos. The sun was shining, their maple tree had changed to fall colors and there was an amazing old fence. The boys were ready for some fun!!! We were crossing our fingers that the rain would hold off.

By the time we arrived to photograph Claudine, her parents and the bridal party, the wind had picked up and the rain was on its way. Claudine was radiant but not nervous at all. This weather was not going to ruin her day. Claudine’s photos were taken inside, until Mother Nature decided to stop the rain.  We quickly ran outside to capture some fun shots with the girls.

Guests arrived at Très-Ste-Trinité Church, in Rockland, for the 3pm ceremony. The church was full and everyone was excited to see the beautiful bride and the handsome groom exchange their vows.

 

The bride and groom, their families and the wedding party, drove to a private residence, in Bourget, to finish the photos. There was an old house, an old barn, a pond; everything that would make the wedding photos perfect and unique. The scenery complimented Claudine and Julien’s country theme wedding. Again Mother Nature, threw us a curve ball, with more rain. When it stopped, we took full advantage of the scenery.


Upon arriving for the dinner and the reception at the River Rock Inn, in Rockland, Claudine and Julien surprised their guests with a square dance and the party began.

This was Claudine and Julien’s wedding day.

Save Whales, Dolphins and Sea Turtles

I have a friend, Suzanne, who has been working hard on a project to win a Shell Canada grant for a project that rescues whales, dolphins and sea turtles that get tangled into fishing gear off Newfoundland or get caught in ice. Some 40 rescues occur each year on average. The boat used for these rescues needs replacing. You can help her by registering as a program participant (no cost) at Shell Canada, getting 10 votes and assigning your votes to the project. The project is currently in 2nd place and needs to finish no lower than 8th place to get the grant.

Suzanne got involved for three reasons: first, there are no Shell gas stations east of New Brunswick so she thought it was not a level playing field; second, she is for protecting the environment and its many habitants; and finally, she noticed that this was something started in Canada and now done in many parts of the world where extensive fishing takes place with its attenuant collateral damage. She really wants this to be the “little boat that could”.
