Hello!
Nice to meet you. I’m Celina, and I’m a visual art addict.
SHE/HER
Tout est magique
I'm a working mom to Mathis and Elsie, a proud sister, daughter, loyal friend, hopeless romantic, and someone always happy to listen or lend a hand. I wear many hats in both my personal and professional life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Professionally, I’m the Artistic Director, content creator, and social media strategist at Crown Ring | Noam Carver. I also teach photography through Illuminate Classes and lead in-person workshops on photography and social media strategy in Montreal.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with some incredible brands and creatives - as a Pinterest influencer with over 3 million followers, a content creator for companies like Disney and Eska, and a designer working with talented photographers, including Yan Palmer and Wendy Laurel.
But beyond all of that, I’m deeply inspired by storytelling. Ever since I discovered Documentary Family Photography over a decade ago, my camera has rarely left my side. I spend my free time capturing the real, quiet, often messy moments of family life- the kind of memories I never want to forget. Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into the analog world, developing and scanning my film, and dreaming of building a darkroom to start printing by hand.
Personally, I’m half British, half Moroccan, and have called Montreal home since I was five. Paris feels like a second home, and I hope to live in New York one day. The ocean is my oasis—maybe that’s what fuels my eclectic style: a mix of vintage and modern, quirky and classic.
I love coffee, anything vintage, stripes and florals, colours (mainly grey), and all things Japanese. I dance whenever I can. I avoid the cold as much as possible—yes, I know I live in Quebec—and I proudly consider myself a night owl and a professional daydreamer.
P.S. Don’t talk to me before 9 a.m. Even my kids know this.

It all starts with an idea. Maybe you want more creative photos to boost your business, or perhaps you have a passion project ready to share with the world. Whatever it is, how you tell your story online makes all the difference — and that’s where I come in.
Or maybe you’re looking for memorable family photos — holiday cards that stand out, fun and creative images you’ll actually want to hang on your walls.
