Adrianne

It was a delight to capture Adrianne again.

In her thirties, Adrianne became the first woman founder in North America to own a fully licensed Private Investigations and Security Agency. Today, her firm has the longest history in the private investigation and security sector in North America, paving the way for other females should they choose this industry.

Adrianne’s newest venture, a media company I Am Unbreakable is a supportive and inclusive platform that amplifies a woman's voice, perspectives, experiences and achievements. By encouraging women to embrace their strengths, cultivate their talents and speak out confidently, they aim to create a world where every woman can freely express herself, shape her own narrative, and inspire positive change.

I will start by saying I am somewhat (lol) particular in who I work with as a photographer. I will also add that I have done this for many years and have never worked with a pro like Agnes. She is a one-of-a-kind photographer. Her talent is second to none and on top of that Agnes brings a creativity to the table that is truly unique.

I have done many photo shoots, but nothing like the ones with Pure Studios. Her work and #rockstar clients speak for themselves. I will also add she is fantastic at collaborating with you to get the look that you want. Her styling expertise is so appreciated!

3 Benefits of Artistic Expression

Every single time, the stress accompanying the photoshoot goes away about 30 minutes into the experience and what remains are the countless benefits!

Here are 3 benefits of artistic expressions:

  1. It boosts your self-esteem

    The ability to express yourself feels freeing and results in higher self-esteem

2. It alleviates fear and stress

It gets you out of your head and makes you focus on action.

3. It improves cognitive function

When we’re creative, we use parts of th brain that aren’t usually in action for everyday tasks.

Winter Favourites 2022

Over the years I’ve grown to love winter more, but we’re still not best friends.

I love the atmosphere of Christmas, dreamy snow, mulled wine, cozy sweaters. I also have a hard time with shorter days, less sunlight and being lazy and unmotivated. Pandemic winter has obviously been especially hard.

Here are some of my recent favourites which have helped me enjoy this winter much more!


RED COAT

A vibrant coat is something that can really lift your mood during dark winter days. I’ve been looking for a red coat for some time and finally found a beautiful one.


JEAN DRESS

People often think my wardrobe is quite big, but I actually invest in quality timeless pieces. This recycled jean dress is unbelievably comfortable and I know I will enjoy it for years.


BOOKS

Reading is certainly one of activities that helped me cling to my sanity over the past two years. I’m always grateful for books and there’s always more on my list.

“Sweetness of water” by Nathan Harris synopsis: In the waning days of the Civil War, brothers Prentiss and Landry—freed by the Emancipation Proclamation—seek refuge on the homestead of George Walker and his wife, Isabelle. The Walkers, wracked by the loss of their only son to the war, hire the brothers to work their farm, hoping through an unexpected friendship to stanch their grief. Prentiss and Landry, meanwhile, plan to save money for the journey north and a chance to reunite with their mother, who was sold away when they were boys.

“Nothing but the truth” by Marie Henein synopsis: An intimate and no-holds-barred memoir by Canada's top defence lawyer, Nothing But the Truth weaves Marie Henein's personal story with her strongly held views on society's most pressing issues, legal and otherwise.


MOVIE

“The Last Duel” synopsis: Jean de Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Jacques Le Gris is a squire whose intelligence and eloquence makes him one of the most admired nobles in court. When Le Gris viciously assaults Carrouges' wife, she steps forward to accuse her attacker, an act of bravery and defiance that puts her life in jeopardy. The ensuing trial by combat, a grueling duel to the death, places the fate of all three in God's hands.


PHOTO OF THE SEASON

It’s always extremely hard to choose a favourite photo of the season, because I love them all. Capturing this moment with Baljit was true magic!


TV

It’s always lovely to relax with a good series. I’ve been spending my evenings with these two shows lately.

Younger: This show is funny, witty and the cast is amazing! Synopsis: Liza Miller, a 40-year-old recently divorced mother who, after finding it difficult to get a job at her age, attempts to pass herself off as a 26-year-old in order to get any job in her pre-mom career to support herself and her college age daughter.

Witcher: I’ve always been a fan of the Witcher because of my Polish roots. I’m enjoying the Netflix show quite a lot, however I wish there were more episodes in both seasons. Even though the show is about a monster hunter, it’s truly about love, friendship and politics.
