I have to Share! - York region photographers

Okay so I have to share this little secret with you. I feel like I always have a ton in common with my clients so try this on for size. There is a winery run by a family in Stouffville on McCowan Rd. It is called Applewood Farm Winery.

They grow their own fruit and on top of selling fresh fruit and vegetables they make their own wines. If you do anything go and try this place out!!!!!


I HIGHLY recommend the Red Trio. Absolutely fantastic and I am not a red wine drinker by any means. It has cranberry undertones and is great with turkey. Go get some now! As far as white, try the Macintosh although you will be offered samples so try them on for size. Support a local family and venture away from the LCBO. I promise you will be thankful you did.

Here is their website - http://www.applewoodfarmwinery.com/.



This is their last couple of days open until the spring but don’t forget go try this out!

(I'll post again in the spring LMAO).

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's!!! - York Region Family Photographer

This was Mike's idea and quite frankly it's hilarious! Our house is very loud when you are not around and we thought this crab hat (Our oldest hat right there beside me) would be really funny.

Enjoy a good laugh and have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season!

Trash The Dress - York Region Wedding Photographers

This was SO MUCH FUN! I really wanted the golden hour as the fall is so out of this world amazing for light. We only had an hour and a half of good solid light time but between Heather, the location and the light nothing could be beat! I loved this location and I will be using many many more times to come there was so much possibility I would go back every day, LMAO!

A huge THANK YOU to Heather in volunteering to do this for my portfolio! Heather is a past client that you will see in my Newborn gallery. I love working with you Heather and I am sad to see you go back to the US soon.

Now trash the dress doesn’t necessarily mean "trash your wedding dress" it's really more about getting out doing something crazy to wear it again and just have fun in it! If you are interested I have many more ideas for this (most including water) so if you are up for it give me a shout!

Also for anyone looking for Fall portrait sessions I hate to put this out there so urgently but honestly the weather is NOW the light is INCREDIBLE if you are thinking about it lets do it!

Citizen of the Year - Newmarket Portrait Photographer

Let me introduce Mr Gordon Barns Aurora's new Citizen of the Year for 2010. Down to my core I really love portrait photography not just because of the actual picture taking but because of the human experience, the people you meet the things you learn I just find it an enlightening experience.

I photographed Gordon at his home in Aurora where he lives with his wife in one of Aurora's beautiful old century homes (you know I would immediately melt, LOL). The house was filled full of a life time of Gordon and his wife’s life and I really appreciated the time I had spent there with them. Gordon's wife collects and restores sewing machines and fabric remnants which she then donates to charities for women who are trying to get back on their feet. Gordon on the other hand is an environmentalist and was a teacher and Dean at Seneca Campus for many years. Now Gordon enjoys his time at Aurora's Arboretum. Gordon's garden was a huge oasis which one would never expect to be right behind Yonge St in Aurora. The garden is incredible, full of vegetables, older trees and pathways that lead to new places with in the garden. Truly a neat experience!

I am honoured that the town chose me for this commission and I am delighted that they chose one of the images I had taken during my time spent with Gordon, especially since I stepped outside the box on this day and gave the town something they did not expect. This is where the human experience comes in to play and the creative artist in me over rides reality sometimes. Leave it to another life lesson and I thank the town for going with my vision on this portrait.

As most know, I am in love with Black and White so I had to show one of the final images that way but the colour version you see here is the image that will reside in the town hall hopefully for generations to come.  That is a very very neat thought!

Miss Kimberley - York Region Business Portrait Photographer

The French Doogy - York Region Portrait Photographers

Norwalk has hit our house hold this weekend so while I'm quarantined to the house it has given me time to learn my new equipment in between bleaching everything, LOL.

This is the frenchie in her socks she has a yeast infection in the wrinkle of her face which is very itchy so while it is being treated she wears her pink socks.

Taken with 5D MrkII with 70-200 2.8 IS and off camera 580 EXII.

Very cool I've been waiting for this equipment for a very, very long time!
