Blog

I have many passions. Aside from blogging here about life : health and nutrition, sharing yummy recipes and everything else I do and love and want to share with all of you ~ I do wear other shoes (all quite comfortable and sometimes I have no idea which ones to choose on a given day!). I’m a professional photographer and love getting out and doing a session for wonderful families. Pure Love Captured Photography is my photography site.

I also shoot commercial work for our graphic design clients, so sometimes I’m propping/ styling and shooting a whole room for a few shots for a catalogue for a giftware company ~ that however is a little different in style and I usually don’t share that here in Lifeologia-land. I’ve been doing that for over 9 years and it’s been something that keeps evolving and challenging me creatively over the years.

I love how my passions have evolved over the years, from graphic design, to professional product photography, to lifestyle photography…. and now blogging which also added food photography to my repertoire.

What was new to me was the health and nutrition passions that sparked when I got comfortable on my journey towards better health. Now I’m balancing it all ~ and I love it. But sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the directions that are pulling me away…. and separating a paying job from a loved-hobby, like blogging is often times very difficult.

So when you don’t see a fresh new post or I’m not engaging in visiting your blogs, please understand that I’m trying my best to stay on top of it all…. but sometimes when it’s too much – I must keep my balance and to do that I must choose my priorities more wisely. That said, I do love blogging the most ~ I feel like it’s the one place where I can apply all my passions and talents and feel so complete with amazing friends I’m meeting and interacting with along the way…. Yes, it’s YOU I love the most! ;)

Essentially I noticed how much I love to help. And I always mentioned to my clients when designing their new logo or packaging that I want to help them look their best….(that was always the truth and I always delivered). Interesting how I’m on a different path now in life and I also want to help.

And in my humble little way I’ve felt like I put my best effort into everything I’ve done.

If I enjoy something, I give it my all…. my passions fuel me and help me discover new things about me I would never have known.

But I’m also always open to adapt to new situations… and if something no longer excites me… I move myself away from it gently (safely) trying carefully not to burn any bridges along the way. One thing I’ve also learned in my business life and personal life, is that you never know who might end up helping you out, referring you to potential new business opportunities or connecting you with inspiring people.

To add more to my life, (and essentially change and cut back on my other work) I think I will be taking a Nutrition course in the fall and pushing myself further into wellness and nutrition. Currently, I’m in touch with a few people I’ve met through my blog and I’m coaching them through their diet and lifestyle change – and I love it. Amongst all of this, I do have a big heart and I want to help people more live better, and through food and nutrition, I think I can do that and really contribute in life-changing way to inspire and help others.

So until I master my nutrition course and carry on with my wellness and life coaching path…. and really see where life will take me….

I will be designing branding, packaging and all print and web material for our clients. If you are interested, please email me for our portfolio. (ps.I run our small business with my husband ;)

And I will be shooting product from small body care lines to home decor and other product… as well as lifestyle/people photography. If you are local to the Greater Toronto Area and would like to work together, please email me for more information. For Pure Love Captured, you can visit the website here.

And when I only can, I will be here and on Facebook to connect with my friends that are a true inspiration for what I do. I promise to help in any way I can. My passions in cooking and eating healthy are the most enjoyable passions I could ever share, so thank you for cheering me on with Lifeologia ~ the joy of spreading health and happiness…. ;)
