Flowers

So I have been working on this series of flowers for a while and they were for a special occasion.

Well now that occasion has passed I can now show them openly! These are available for sale and will be printed on fine art paper so that they will not fade or discolour for at least 100 years. Prints will come double matted and framed and will come in limited editions of 30 each signed and numberd. Sizes will start at 11 x 17 so if you are interested let me know and I will send over pricing or we can set up an appointment where you are more than welcome to come by and view prints first hand. :)

Beautiful Baby Boy

This was from a session I did a little while ago and I absolutely LOVE how they came out. Here are 2 from the session but there is also a tri series on my home introduction page and the 3 images in the Kids gallery. This was the first time this little boy had seen bubbles and the experience of being able to photograph someone’s first experience was absolutely incredible and I felt honored to be apart of that.

Random Babble

Okay so increasingly I am told that my portrait in the paper is not suiting of me at all, LOLOLOLOL. I know I look serious and some have even said a bit b$#%&y, that's okay I can fully laugh at myself, LOL. I call her my alter ego and to be honest I really do not photograph well when I smile. Hey man try taking a self portrait it's a tough thing to do, LOL.

But anyways I have made a promise to change it. My good friend David will be helping me out with it so hopefully he can do a better job, lol. Stay tuned for that update.

Also the Right To Dry T-Shirts will be happening soon contact me and let me know if you are interested in one. Part of the proceeds will be going to the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust which I think is a huge deal to protect. I actually read in the paper yesterday that Newmarket's sliver may be sold to a builder!!!!!!!! Tisk tisk this should not even be an option that is entertained at all! Let’s keep our green space green for heaven sake!


Okay off my soap box now here is a Pray mantis I had the privilege f photographing over Labor Day weekend. I love these bugs!

My visit to the Zoo

On Friday Aug 8th I had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Toronto Zoo for a behind the scenes tour. It was incredible! One of those opportunities that my family and I will always remember. These are just some of the animals we saw that day. I would really like to thank Calvin the CEO of the Zoo for this incredible opportunity, Amanda who was our guide for our tour and was amazing through the day and Mr. Tim Jones for setting us up for this amazing guided tour! These are just some of the adorable faces we saw that day. If you have not been to the Zoo lately I HIGHLY recommend seeing the Sting Ray exhibit! They are amazing (sorry to keep using the same words it was just out of this world).

This is Shaboo, the female White Rino that lives at the zoo. She was incredible to spend time with as she was SO sweet. We will never forget the time we got to spend with her.

This guy was a bird we passed by n one of the pavilions sleeping away as if nothing was happening. I loved the way the light was hitting him.

I know the colour is weird on this but I thought it really added to the feel of the photo. I believe he is a green tree snake and he was sitting right in front of the window.
Flamingo’s always pretty.
Forgive e but I forget the name of this funny looking guy but they are part of the Pelican Family. This little guy is brand new to the Zoo and was very unsure of the camera lens, lol.

New Portfolio Work

Thank you thank you thank you to Madeline! Madeline was kind enough to offer her time and stunning look for my portfolio work. As you know the wedding industry is what I am looking to get into a little more but have found it difficult to say "Yes I can absolutely cover a wedding, however I have nothing to show you", lol. For my perspective client I know that is a huge chance to take on me so I had to remedy that! I have TONS of ideas and I am hoping to bring something a little new and different to this area in the choice of wedding photography. My approach is photographs that portray elegance, style with a little bit if avant-garde thrown in. I want your photographs to be pieces of art and not just portraits. So this is a bit of what I got!
