“A great photo should capture a moment, not labor to create one.  Those results are achieved effortlessly with Marie-Catherine”.

“Marie-Catherine is an  extraordinary photographer!  Her sessions are relaxed and joyful and the results are magnificent.

She is a life-force whose ebullience, joie de vivre, patience and genuine love of people bring out the personality and heart & soul of her subjects while making it pure fun. (even my husband and son want to do it again!”

Lolita Davidovitch, Actress

“My husband is in the entertainment industry and I come from a theatrical family in England.  People usually pay us to take pictures of us but since we found Marie-Catherine, we use her whenever we need pictures for anything.  Her quality is superlative, and more importantly, her humour and style are SO relaxing that you can’t take a bad picture.  She is always up for whatever zany or classic idea you may have, encouraging you and making you feel like a professional (artists can be notoriously gruff and condescending).  She gets the best out of camera shy kids or unconfident Mums.  We know that once you’ve used her, like everyone else, you’ll enjoy many years of her making you feel gorgeous!

Thank you Marie-Catherine for chronicling our family’s growth and capturing our humour.  Long may you reign!”

“Year ago, when my children were small, I was fortunate to discover Marie-Catherine and her beautiful work.

Since then, every year, we capture a moment of their lives through her photos.  When we recently took down, at long last, some photos from when the kids were 3 and 4 and replaced them with their pre-teen and teen pictures, I was just so grateful that I’d made the commitment to having new one taken every year and recording their every stage of life.   

The contribution Marie-Catherine has made to our family by capturing moments of my children’s lives forever is both precious and priceless”.

Rona Elliot, music journalist

“I have worked with Marie-Catherine here and also in Europe.  Her images are always beautiful and I find the hardest part is narrowing down the selections as I want to have them all.  My children love working with her and  it shows in the photographs.  Each year Marie-Catherine has taken the photographs I use on my Christmas cards and I am excited and proud to send them.

Photographs that capture the spirit of our family are a meaningful legacy that I want to leave and instill in my girls.  Marie-Catherine takes photos precisely of that nature.  We first got photos taken by Marie-Catherine when my girls were very young and it has now been a family tradition for almost ten years.  She creatively, beautifully and so naturally catches a moment between the members of our family that we can treasure and share with those we love.  I plan to keep the legacy alive.  And who knows, maybe my girls will someday be calling upon Marie-Catherine for their family traditions.

“Marie-Catherine is one of these rare photographers who is able to capture the soul of a person in that split second the shutter opens.  On shoots with her, it all seems effortless.  I am amazed when I see the results.  She is one of the most creative photographers I’ve encountered.  She sets up humorous tableaux that relate to people’s specific circumstances, and then, shoots the wittiest, most whimsical and unique photographs I’ve ever seen.  The photographs my husband, my son and I had taken by her will hang in our home for a very long time”.

Marie-Catherine has been taking pictures of my daughter and I for several years.  Just when I think we’ve taken the best photograph ever, she does it again!  She has an incredible ability to make everyone look fantastic and natural, avoiding less flattering aspects that always seem to come out on pictures other photographers have taken.  She has an amazing eye for backgrounds and chooses a variety of settings for her sessions which give a wonderful mix of pictures from different years.  She is wonderful with children bringing out the best in them. I am very thankful that we discovered Marie-Catherine to capture these amazing “snapshots in time” along the way before the years are just a distant memory.  Thank you Marie-Catherine!”
