Engaged!
Tonight something memorable took place at the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto. A & M got engaged, on stage, in front of a full house for tonight's show of My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding. M had the whole cast and crew in on the proposal and CityTV was invited to record the event. I was so pleased and proud to capture the special moment! Congratulations you guys!! Lots of love.
Integral House
Recently, we had the opportunity to shadow marvel photographer Bob Gundu in capturing the incredible architecture of Integral House during An Integral Affair: in support of the Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre.
Integral House is owned by James Stewart, mathematician, musician and author of the Calculus textbooks you may have used.

My Birthday
I hit the big 30 with family and close friends at Archeo in the Distillery District.
There's nothing better than bacon for your birthday. The credit goes to my husband for most of these shots :)

There was a magician, a donkey, gifts and cake A bouncy castle, burgers and a pinata to shake Lollies and candies and wrappers galore Toy bats and balloons and don't you want more? How 'bout ice cream and sprinkles and chocolate chips? Don't you wish your birthdays were more like this?
Okay, so I'm no Dr. Seuss that's for certain, but I do like birthdays. I suspect these guys do too.

Yogger
(I'll try not to incorporate the last few letters of Photohogger so much in my entry titles, but it's fun while it lasts, non?)
I recently did a yoga shoot for a friend who's starting out her yoga teaching practice. She's wonderfully warm and easy-going so N and I had a lot of fun with her at the shoot which was at our home as well as at the Harbourfront Centre.
Aarti was looking for yoga photos that weren't conventional (ie. sun-set-silhouette-type shots) but more of something organic with interesting body shapes. She was really open-minded and we ended up with some really beautiful moments as well as some super fun shots (like the one we got of her out on the skating rink in her beautiful lehenga - even though it was a bitterly cold day!!)
Here's a peek.
Meet the Hamiltons
We were happy to spend the day with the Hamiltons for this shoot. It was family Xmas card time and let's just say three furry, red hats made an appearance! Em is a familiar face in my portrait portfolio and it's clear to see why. Isn't he the cutest?!

Hallowe'en 08
I love Halloween.
Glass Artist
Recently, I did a photoshoot for Heather Konschuh, who is a talented glass artist working in Toronto. Her glass pieces are abstract forms of art; a reflection of natural beauty. One of the pieces that instantly caught my eye were her hand blown pendants which are at once bold and dainty; perfectly modeled by Heather here.

A Peter Pan Baby Shower
We've now had two work baby showers at Peter Pan restaurant. A truly lovely place for them! The food is spectacular, consistently. Highly recommended for any type of gathering.
Here's the first baby shower that took place in the summer of '08.
