Hello & Welcome to my new photography blog!
My name is Jean Labelle and I'm a freelance location photographer based in Ottawa, Ontario.
This blog will follow my photographic endeavors and showcase some of my favorite photos from weddings, engagements, and lifestyle portrait sessions.
Most of my work consists of portraiture, children, weddings and event photography. At the moment I don’t really want to specialize in one particular field. I’d rather specialize in telling stories, showing emotions and revealing my subjects character.
If you are interested in booking a session, or have any questions or just want to say hello, please click on the "Contact" above.
Thanks for visiting and check back often to see what I'm up to!
It's great to have you here!
Jean

I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Myles, his sister Jillian and Mom and Dad last weekend.
Here I am trying to make our meeting a little more interpersonal by showing Myles a mind blowing card trick I know. He smiles when I’m done and says “that’s neat” and then proceeds to jack my show and lays down about six tricks he knows on me…
I think he’s a ringer.
I let Noah press the TEST button on my Pocket Wizard to show him how it triggered the flashes in my softboxes. After our session, he was so eager to teach everyone how my camera worked and that he could now take a picture.
I just love these sessions with kids!!!
A very special THANK YOU to everyone who came out tonight for the Ottawa Senators 65 Roses Gala to help breathe life into the future for young Canadians battling cystic fibrosis!
A memorable evening of inspiration, fine dining and great music provided by the JW Jones Blues Band was had by all.
The event, which was hosted by Max Keeping and 65 Roses celebrity chairman, the Sens forward and right-winger Shean Donovan, raises money for young Canadians battling cystic fibrosis in the Ottawa area. This was a year that also celebrated the foundations 50th anniversary.
On hand were members of the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club, community leaders, sponsors and supporters.
The event was held at the Hampton Inn Conference Centre.
Thank you all!
Because of my involvement with Heather,(1), and the impact it had on me, I recently contacted the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada, to volunteer my services as a photographer. Together with the foundation, the Childrens Hospital Of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and the Ottawa General Hospital, I have had the honour and privilege to provide photographic services to the sweetest and bravest children you will ever meet.
On Monday, February 8th, 2010, The Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, along the the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, will be holding their annual fundraiser, The Ottawa Senators 65 Roses Gala.
This also marks the 50th anniversary of the Foundation. There has been significant progress in cystic fibrosis research and care since the Foundation was established in 1960. Researchers across Canada are now studying all aspects of cystic fibrosis, including fixing the basic defect and treating the symptoms of the disease. Thanks to tremendous advances in research and treatment, people with cystic fibrosis are living longer and healthier lives.
Please take a moment and think about making a difference in the life of a child afflicted with cystic fibrosis and come on out on and support this very worthy cause.
Proceeds from this event support the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in conducting health research and supporting specialized care for children and young adults battling cystic fibrosis.
Hope to see you there!

So the story goes like this…
Yesterday I received an email from Belanger RV/Auto dealer to invite me to an event at their dealership. They mentioned that Patrick Carpentier would be on hand with his race car to sign autographs. Patrick is a Nascar driver. They also included a link to YouTube to promote the event:

Knowing that my colleague Leon covers Nascar, I sent him an email letting him know about the event.
Well folks, this is where it gets interesting…
After Leon checks out the video, he writes thanking me for the heads-up and also that, in his words, “they STOLE my picture!”
If you watch the video, at the 14-15 second mark, there is a photo of Partrick that was taken from Leon’s stream:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalphoto/3876430430/in/set-72157622104096781/
So I go there this morning, bring up Leon’s Flickr stream on my phone and ask Patrick to hold it and let me take a photo of him holding my phone displaying a photo of himself.
And now… you know the rest of the story…
**P.S. The photo was not “borrowed” by the dealership themselves but by a marketing company hired by the dealer.**
