After a whopping 12 years together, this super fun pair are getting hitched! It was a blast photographing this couple’s session – I’m so glad they won the giveaway contest! They wanted to keep their session light-hearted and even silly at times, which was more than alright with me because the way they are together is gosh darned adorable. Congrats, you two!
Porter Airlines – Portraits of Robert Deluce
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Porter Airlines founder and CEO Robert Deluce for a travel industry magazine that’s re-branding and featuring Porter in their inaugural issue under their new name. Mr. Deluce was incredibly friendly and it was very fun spending time with him and touring Billy Bishop airport. I even got to walk on the tarmac and photograph planes as they took off and landed, and was thrilled to be invited inside one of the planes to photograph the interior, including the cockpit! Thank you very much to the Porter team who was so hospitable during our visit! I’ll add details about the travel… Keep Reading

Neil’s Super Secret Project
I’m sworn to secrecy about Neil’s project, but I am allowed to share the photos! Feel free to have a guess at what this is for… he may enjoy reading the responses. But my lips are sealed! Kudos to Neil for braving the cold in a T-Shirt! What a Canadian.
Winter Island – Is this actually Toronto?
These photos were actually taken in Toronto despite totally looking as though they’re from a Northern territory or the Arctic. The Toronto Island is one of our absolute favourite places to visit. We usually go in the Summertime, when the leaves are lush and the colours are vibrant… it’s an incredibly magical place, giving you a sense of calm and ease that makes you forget you’re in such a busy city. We’d never visited the island in the Winter before, so we thought we’d try it out – something different (yet still of significance to our relationship) for our tenth anniversary. What we saw was nothing short of awe-inspiring. It… Keep Reading

Season’s Greetings!
It’s that time of year again, when the frosty air turns our noses and fingertips into icicles, but there’s still a warmth in our hearts as we look forward to the upcoming quality time with our loved ones. From our home to yours, my hubby Kiron and I wish you a truly wonderful holiday season. May it be filled with all good things.
Live, Laugh, Love. And worry less.
“I’m feeling too fat to be photographed…” … Unfortunately, many of us say or think this all too often. I came across this moving read this morning (link below). ‘I nearly left this earth with no physical evidence of the goofy, wide open and loud love I have for my life, my husband, my family and friends.’ – A sobering reminder that we need to be easier on ourselves and allow ourselves to enjoy this life that we’re so fortunate to have (without worrying so much about how we look while doing it – indeed, you look beautiful to others!). As a photographer I aim to get the most ‘flattering’… Keep Reading
