If there is one thing I do not like is to talk about myself but I realize it would make things easier for you to get to know me.
So here is a little background of my life.
I was born and raised in Lyon, France and decided to take a year off and come over to the States, I then met Nick, my better half….and here we are 20 years later with our three boys.
I am blessed with a good life: healthy children, good friends, a loving family and an amazing job that has been a life process and is so rewarding, thanks to wonderful clients, colleagues and vendors who have spread kind words and given generous compliments on my work.
I also would like to mention that being a mother of three children, I have to balance my work which is why I only cover about 20 weddings a year and I only accept one wedding per week end.
I truly love what I do and I put my heart and soul in every wedding I photograph, as I feel so fortunate to be a part of someone’s life and capture this magical time forever. I love being part of my clients’ life, seeing them every year and through out life changing moments such as new babies, kids going to college, anniversaries, family reunion….
Here is what some of you have to say:

“…Dominique’s quality of work is superb! The end result and the process every step of the way far exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond for us. A 6:30pm fall wedding presented great challenges for having proper lighting to capture the beautiful surroundings of our outdoor wedding. Dominique met with us weeks after the wedding and granted me the opportunity of wearing my wedding dress twice! ”
“These photos are truly breathtaking…We just got home tonight from Aruba and have watched it over and over. It made us cry with joy! And laugh and laugh!! You really have a wonderful artistic perspective — we love how your each shot in the slideshow is thoughtful and off-beat. I forwarded it tonight to many of our guests and family and compliments streaming in! 
”
My “joys”: Sharing a good meal with friends…with good wine, that first cup of coffee in the morning, discovering new places …mainly cities (as I am a city girl), walking to a coffee shop for hot chocolate with my boys, morning runs and beaches …any kind as the ocean is so therapeutic!
