Engagements Are Engaging!

For the most part, my clients are either people I know personally, or people who know people I know personally. So when I do get a new client, its always a bit awkward at the beginning of the shoot, trying to keep everyone comfortable and happy. But I got lucky with this duo, as they are both incredibly playful & loving with each other, and eased right into the whole process. Krystle and Aaron are getting married this spring, and I will also be shooting their wedding, which I'm excited for as it will be my first of the season. Though I would never call myself a "wedding photographer" I am starting to really love doing it, and will keep doing it until it no longer becomes fun. But I still love doing family sessions, newborns, etc... Really, I love it all.

 

Let Me Fall

You can have your bright city lights, your bustling streets and tall buildings... I wouldn't trade my view for anything. Small town life rewards you daily, weekly, monthly; the ever-changing landscape reminds you that as much as time is constantly progressing, there is also a consistent feeling of home. Some days the tiniest detail can make you smile, whether it's the glint of sunlight off the bright autumn leaves, or the smell of the grass on the breeze after a storm. I love it all.







 

Young Love

My youngest sister, Tatiana and her boyfriend Brandon wanted some couple portraits done, so even though it was the hottest day of the year, we set out to spend some time at Harborview Park in Collingwood.

We Are Family

I had a great day photographing this family yesterday, despite the heat and slightly overcast weather, we managed to get some fantastic shots. Lindsay and Carlo have been partners for a while now, so she wanted to get some nice pictures of the two of them and Carlo's children, Julia & Paul. This group brought their best smiles to the shoot, even though they said they had never sat for portraits before, and seemed very comfortable in front of the camera. We had some fun doing hilarious 'jumping' shots, and walking in the gorgeous Sunnidale Park for the afternoon.

Secret Garden

When I first got into photography and before I had found my "abandoned" niche, I used to take

pictures of everything else. A year into college I got a macro lens and instantly was captured by

the world of tiny things. My favourite thing was spending an afternoon in the garden with my

face in the flowers, getting very up-close-and-personal with the finer details of nature. I think

it changes your perspective a bit too, because it translates into your everyday life; you notice the

little things that others pass by, and all you can think is... "That would make an amazing photo."
