We did a shoot at the Music Garden by the water on Saturday with the lovely Hiddema's. You may remember them from their baby shower not too long ago! In fact their baby Jasmine is all of four months old now and is just adorable! Her beautiful laugh and cheery desposition kept us happy throughout the shoot (and into lunch); what a trooper. She didn't make a fuss or cry ONCE all day! The lovely P & A were a treat for us to capture. Thank you so much for all the support you two! We had so much fun with you guys and look forward to watching baby Jasmine grow! We hope you love these as much as we do! xo
Berries
Most summers my niece comes to stay with us for a few weeks and one time we took her berry picking. I'd never been before, myself and had a wonderful time. Would love to go again. Which fresh fruit do you like to pick?
Peter Pan
Going here for lunch again, today.
This one was taken at a friend's baby shower that was hosted there.

Charity clothing swap + sale!
I hosted a clothing swap + sale on the weekend to raise money for an orphanage being built in India by my Mom's Aunt. She used to be a head mistress of a school and is now 80 years old and still doing notable charitable deeds. I think it's a wonderful cause and will be donating all the money raised at the swap along with my family's donations to it. The left-over clothing will go to The Salvation Army.
What's your favourite charity to donate to?
Meg’s Dance
My niece did a classical dance performance last weekend.
She did a spectacular job! Here are some captures of her and her cousins on the big day!
Mom's Healthy Secrets
This is a shoot we did for the redesign of the packaging for Mom's Healthy Secrets, the organic cereal created by Julie Arora and her Mom. It's a all-natural, healthy and tasty cereal. You can request a sample here. And be sure to check out the new packaging on the MHS Facebook page.
Sock Monkey
My Mom made this adorable sock monkey for my niece's 10th birthday.
I told her to make me one, too!
Isn't it so cute?
Have a great long weekend everyone!

Frugal Fashion Week: I Heart Frocks!
It was a pleasure for me to shoot Frugal Fashion Week's I Heart Frocks! charity event benefitting Windfall, Canada's new clothing and basic-needs items bank. The fashion event took place at Nyood Bar and featured local designers and started off with electronica/pop music by Monnakoe. The fabulous cupcakes were made by Frugal Fashion Week's own founder Gillian Downes!
The evening ended with a Designer Silent Auction featuring frocks and rocks custom-created by emerging designers including Solace, Another Word For Pink, Handsome and Lace, Hypercube, Bikay, Our Lady and The Chains of Love, amongst others.
Thanks for inviting me to shoot this fantastic event Gillian!

Danny Bhoy
Danny Bhoy was in Toronto on April 29th at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. He's quite the funny lad and he had new material and brought back a few of the classics! It was great to meet him after the show and get his latest DVD autographed.
