Je reviens du congrès du PPOC-ON (Professional Photographers of Ontario) avec une belle récompense, le prix du photographe portraitiste de l’année 2010 pour l’Ontario.

C’est très valorisant de voir son travail reconnu pas ses pairs, ça nous encourage à continuer et aller un plus loin.

C’est toujours plaisant de remporter un prix mais encore plus lorsque c’est relié à notre passion, la preuve que si on fait ce que l’on aime, ça ne peut faire autrement que fonctionner.

Merci à mes clients, famille et amis qui m’ont soutenu et encouragé au cours des années, sans vous, ce prix aurait beaucoup moins d’importance.

Hello!

I’m back from Toronto with a nice surprise,  PPOC-ON (Professional Photographers of Ontario) Portrait Photographer of 2010.

Thanks to all my clients, friends and family, without you, this wouldn’t mean much.
