About Copy - Lexine Photographie - Bilingual Photography / Photographie Bilingue

Salut, c'est moi - Lexine!

I am a small town French girl (tsé une fille d'Embrun, Ontario!) turned photographer by accident in my last year of high school - and I love what I do.

My job is to make you forget that photos used to be a chore and make you love the idea of having a big camera all up in your face.

I'm here to make the photo process easy - whether it's for your yearbook school photo, your wedding day, your family photos, your first photos as a family with your newborn baby or just silly photos of yourself celebrating everything that life offers. I'm here for it all!

Why did you become a photographer? Pourquoi le domaine de la photographie?

You are going to notice that I have a French tattoo on my left forearm written Artiste. It's the only tattoo I currently have, and it's super visible when I take your photo.

When I was 17, someone told me that having a "real job" in an artistic field was never a possibility and that art should only be a hobby. That was enough to fuel me for the last 10 years, LOL. It still motivates me everyday to prove that everything is absolutely possible if you put your mind to it. My tattoo represents my Franco-Ontarien culture, and my pride of building an incredible business around an artistic field.

I was the overachiever, the social butterfly and I was blessed with a mother who took daily photos of me. She taught me the value of memories, and ever since she passed over the camera to me when I was 14, I knew it was my destiny to create amazing things, as an artist and female entrepreneur.

Photography has been an incredible way for me to serve my community, to give back to incredible causes, to highlight role models, to capture incredible stories and to do something with so much purpose. I am so grateful that I found my calling so young and continue to thrive in what I love to do!

What makes you different? Qu'est-ce qui te différencifie en tant que photographe?

I lick my chips before I eat them.

HA - no but seriously : It's never about the art for me, it's always about you first.

I started my business with passion and a heart full of dreams (and the list of dreams never stops growing!). I got into the field of photography for the LOVE OF PEOPLE. I wasn't as passionate about the art, the light, the look.... I was incredibly passionate about the people.

It's all in the littles things - The tweaks I could say to make you feel comfortable. The jokes I could make to make your aunt crack a genuine smile. The placement of your dress to reassure you that it's perfect. The small compliment that eases your insecurity. The hair pushed out of your lashes. It was all of the small things I had the power to do to help you make the photos special, easy and fun. That's what I fell in love with, more than anything.

Taking care of you is my biggest goal and passion. The great photos come easily with that (and well having photographed over 600+ weddings and thousands of families isn't a bad bonus either!).

Do you have a specialty? Te spécialises-tu dans un genre de photographie particulière?

Nope! My passion is about YOU so it applies in all types of photography you may need : school photography, events, corporate parties, headshots, products, etc.

Early in my career, I noticed that after shooting 200 weddings in 4 years, weddings were my JAM. That's why I purchased with my now husband Kyrillos, our venue own wedding venue in Hammond, ON (only 40 minutes East of Ottawa!). We were the first ones to get married there in April 2024! It's called Domaine Mallity Estate - it's private, warm and cozy, and nestled on 50 acres of gorgeous forested land. This is a photo of us in front of it!
