carnival

The end of summer is near and of course we have to make it to the CNE to eat fried foods, sugar and see the lights. We had so much fun taking Eloise to the CNE this year, she wanted to go on the rides for the first time. She is still too little to go on most of the rides which was so sad, how do you explain to a 2 year old that they are too short to ride the truck ride?

At first, she was really excited to go on the ferris wheel but changed her mind in the middle of it. The merry-go-round and catching frogs with Gabe was a winner though!

A huge thanks to Gabe for taking these photos of us, without him, family photos of the three of us would never exist.

Bye bye summer, I am going to miss you...

Picture Perfect Social Media - by Jennifer Young

I have some exciting news to share with you!

Awhile back, the talented Jennifer Young approached me to contribute to a book she was writing - Picture Perfect Social Media. The book is aimed for those looking to improve their photography skills in a comprehensible, not-too-technical way. Something I can totally relate to as I still remember the first time I picked up an SLR camera and how intimidating all those controls seemed. But the great thing about this book is that it shows you that you don't need a fancy camera to take great photos.

I am so honoured to have my work and words in Jennifer's book but also so humbled to be along side the other incredibly talented contributors for this book - Tara O'Brady, Oana Befort, Dabito, Leila Peterson, Michelle Lau , guremike - each artist lending their words of wisdom on their area of photography expertise. I definitely learned some good tips by reading Jennifer's words and what the other contributors had to say.

Congratulations Jennifer, on your first book! I am so happy for you!

Jessica & Brock, happily ever after. (Thompson Hotel, Toronto)

These two have the sweetest kind of love. On the days leading up to their wedding, they sounded so calm in our correspondences but once I arrived, I saw that adorable nervousness one gets when they are about to embark something very important.

Committing to one another in front of your closest family and friends is a very big deal. And these two knew it.

I love how Brock makes Jessica grin and how Brock could no longer hold his tears back in a private moment after they said their vows to each other. Overlooking our great city, their wedding was an elegant affair full of laughter and love.

Thank you for including us on your big day, Jessica & Brock! Watching you two makes my heart glow!
