I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW:

- My first name is Janine. My middle name is Deanna {it's also my daughters middle name!}

- I cry every time I sing the Canadian Anthem. SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!

- I buy a new bottle of perfume for every trip I take, so I can remember the memories when ever I smell the scent

- I owned a salon for 4 years and am a Hairstylist & Makeup Artist by trade.

- I need to drink a Tim Hortons half coffee & half french vanilla every day, otherwise I may die.

- Fresh flowers are the way to my heart...but skip the roses, I am much more unique than that.

- I am still holding out hope that one day I will star in my own music video.

-If I wasn't a photographer I would be a talk show host!

- I am 6ft tall. I am telling you now so it's not a shock when we meet for the first time....trust me it happens all the time.

- My go to snack is chocolate covered almonds.

- I am thankful daily to live life with my best friend at my side.

- If I was stuck on an island and could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be poutine, with a side of cucumber to alleviate the guilt a bit.

- I sing A LOT...and tend to make everything into a song.

- I am petrified of heights, scary movies and the dark...like little kid kind of scared.

- I have been to 10 Backstreet Boys concerts and it's still a dream of mine that they will call me up on stage and ask me to sing "Shape of my heart" with them.

- My 2 children are the best thing I have ever and will ever accomplish in this life time.

- I LOVE SHOPPING I can shop anyone under the table....any day, anywhere. I even have what I like to call a "mall speed" so that we can be as efficient as possible while transitioning from store to store.

THE WORDS I LIVE BY:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Marianne Williamson
