I cannot start expressing my feelings when I first found out that my sister is pregnant. Thats it I am going to be an uncle very soon .
Today’s session is a very casual one , no big setups not crazy props. Just me and my sister in the bedroom and the window light. We will be doing 2 or 3 more sessions in different locations the dad will be present next time. Love you sister

Maternity session #1 with Marianne
Congratulations to Ani & George : Montreal winter wedding
Ani knew a friend of mine and this how she heard about me . We met summer time for an e-session at the Old-Port of Montreal where also I met George. Here we are today on a cold winter afternoon, Ani and George get married at the Sourp Hagop Church, surrounded by a great number of people who matter to them , exchanged their vows together in an emotional ceremony and later danced the night away. The reception was held at Le Windsor downtown Montreal. Here is a glimpse of images from that day.
Wedding album design service
I have been getting a lot of requests recently from several clients wanting to design a wedding album through me. I was offering this service exclusively to other photographers which many of them are now outsourcing this service elsewhere. To cut the story short, now I am offering album design services to almost everyone and all this with a record time delivery. Feel free to contact me with your questions and I would be more then happy to answer .
My new Portrait website launched
After 2 month of planning , I finally launched last week my portrait photography website. I will be updating the site along with the blog with new images from recent sessions. Several portrait sessions are booked from the month of March and April involving kids, newborns and maternity. www.pauldoumit.com/portraits
Hope you like it.
My next upgrade. PC or MAC ?
How come you are not using a Mac ? I get this question often from clients or friends when they come over to my office. I always replied , well I am a computer guy and I know my way around computers. I never really had any problems with PCs , no viruses, no crashes, hardware or software problems. I guess its the way I use PCs that saved me from all the troubles that Mac fanboys talk about. If I have a problem or need an upgrade, I dont have to call Apple or break my bank account to fix it. My system been running for years, 24/7 none stop and performing like day one. I guess after all Macs are not for technical people.
Its true that Apple’s Mac designs do look good. They are fast and very reliable. I am not here to favor any side. I am just explaining why I have been using a PC for my photography work, along with some gaming on the side. If you check the Alienware website, you get the top of the line PCs with a great design. You get to use a huge Dell 24″ or 30″ widescreen LCD and the latest computer specs that will blow any Mac configuration for half of the price.
It all stats with the OS. Using Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate in the 64 bits flavor changes a lot of things. Its not Vista or the old XP. The new OS is stable, clean and fast. Fast enough for Adobe’s version of Photoshop in 64 bits utilizing all the 12Gig of RAM installed. And the key feature to a fast system now days is storage. Using SSD hard drives as a system drive and a second for cache.
In the end, I would love to you use both platforms. Maybe an iMac 27″ for my clients to preview images and keep the PC workstation as my workhorse machine for processing.
