Happy Diwali! And welcome to the launch of my NEW website!
Let me know what you think, and if there are any bugs.
What is Diwali or Deepavali?
It is the Hindu celebration and festival of Lights. I like to refer to the Office for explanation :)
All jokes aside, Diwali signifies the triumph of good over evil. Small clay lamps - diyas - are lit in a row, or somewhere in the home.
It's also celebrated by wearing new clothes (thank you H&M) and eating sweets (can't complain!).
Boston Fashion Week has been filled with amazing collections; with one of the most unique being the Second Time Around show.
It's been so much fun shooting in the press pit at Boston Fashion Week!
On Thursday September 29, Jeff Lahens' show took centre stage in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston. The collection was his own as well as a collaboration with Uniform, Bobby from Boston and Drinkwaters. What an incredibly good time! Everyone was pumped; the tunes were upbeat and the models had PROPS! PROPS! Jeff Lahens is such a nice guy; we hung out with him for a bit in the lounge after the Carter Smith show on Friday night.
It’s been great shooting in Boston Fashion Week 2011!

Last night, the Lily & Migs show took center stage in The Tent!
Wow.
I've heard chiffon is a difficult material to work with (thanks Project Runway!) so, watching these gorgeous, pleated, fitted, blousy, multiple tiered creations (in chiffon! silk! and georgette!) strutting down the runway was truly a delight. Such a beautiful collection and those models were rocking some amazing fish-tail braids!
Here, some of my favourite shots from before the show, during and after. It was great meeting Jenn of the Jenn & Lauren team behind Lily & Migs!

I absolutely LOVE shooting the Hamilton's! Their enthusiasm and boundless energy for shoots (and for life, in general!) always amazes me, and this third time around (see I and II, here) was no different. In downtown Oakville, with a nautical backdrop (including props which I didn't even have to ask for - see what I mean when I say these guys are pros?), we were ready. An added bonus was happening upon a very cool old Dodge, which made for a fun "Cars" inspired theme. This was Baby Benny's first shoot, having featured him last as a baby bump, this time, he was a natural in front of the camera. Em, of course, is one of my favourites, I adore capturing the lil' guy, who's growing up mighty quick! Then there's K&S who are always up for anything. Be it waiting for threatening waves to break across the pier, then running away with their kids. Or....having to pretend fish for the camera then actually having to fish out one of the said props. K&S, you guys are priceless, I love you; thank you so much for your continuous support. Words can't express how much it means to me to capture your growing family. xo
A year ago Bennett was born.
He was first photographed here, as a baby bump.
We've been honoured to have had annual photoshoots with The Hamiltons and a few weeks ago we did our THIRD shoot with them!
Teasers to come soon! For now...
Happy 1st Birthday Benny! xoxo
It was such an honour to capture the Bright family, who are dear friends of ours. The J-man and Natalie made the perfect subjects for our "bright" and early morning shoot at Springridge Farm. What complete sports they all were, traipsing around in the sandbox and on bales of hay with various props in the hot sun. Thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to capture these moments for you. xo
A and I celebrated our birthdays together again, this year. Last year we did the spa and dinner. This year we did it with strawberry picking at Springridge Farm (fantastic place btw!) followed by a picnic in the park. There was lots of sunshine, not so many strawberries, lots of laughs and a few tears. Thanks to N, who was the only boy at the party, for capturing all the fun moments of the girls!
