Ships Ahoy!

Tonight I was photographing a Toronto harbour boat cruise for SunLife Financial. A fun night and a great cruise! What a gorgeous sunset! It was fun seeing the skyline change in colour as the sun went down. A great night - thanks for inviting me to come along!

Caden

Today we had the joy of celebrating with our good friends Pete & Cherie as they dedicated their baby Caden. Caden is such a sweetheart and I've loved photographing him for these 10 or months or so. These are a couple pics of the little gaffer at our lunch afterwards.

Tom & Chantal

Yesterday I had the fun of being a part of Tom & Chantal's wedding celebration. It was a beautiful day and they both were beaming. Chantal was stunning and Tom was the handsome groom. A great day - thanks for letting me be a part of your Day!

Jason & Cynthia

Tonight I had the fun of photographing Jason & Cynthia's engagement photos. What a great pair! They had me laughing and enjoying myself the entire time. I loved watching how these two respond and connect - beautiful. Today marks 100 days until their wedding - and is the first day of summer. Reason enough to celebrate! Here are a few of the photos we took down at Pier 4 in Hamilton tonight.

And as we walked out we saw this great red wall of a chip wagon - I fell in love with the deep red!

Father's Day Winner

Congratulations to Andrea on winning the Father's Day contest! Here is a portion of her moving story of her dad...

22years ago, we were the only family who's parents were splitting up. For two kids that is pretty tramaic. AT the time, most people figured that we would live with our mom. Kids, to most people, would naturally go with their mom. IT didn't happen in our house. I remember the day clearly, my father standing on the stoop watching my mom remove her final things from the home to leave…..I remember her turning around, with such anger to tell him that she was still going to take "us kids"…and I remember my dad calmly telling her "you can take any material thing you want, but you will NEVER get our children. They belong here in their HOME."

That day, he became my hero.

...The day I told him I was going to be a mom myself, he smiled, with tears, and told me the same day he had been diagnosed with a disease that would eventually take all of his sight. The day my son was born, the only words my dad uttered upon arrival to see his first grandchild was "Andrea, I can see him…..I can still see enough to see him…"


Andrea - you have a special bond with your Father and I look forward to photographing you with him this Fall! Thank you to all who entered!

20 Questions

This has been a busy week for me - by tomorrow night I'll have done 5 photo shoots in as many days and attended an evening of seminars - as well as gone to my daughter's TBall game, volunteered on a school field trip and in the JK class, gone for lunch with my mom, visited with a few friends and more. I love it all but am looking forward to a weekend away with my dear patient hubby this weekend!

But, I need a little fun to come home to....

I'm a bit of a nerd in that I love games. Scrabble (I carry around the list of all the 2 Letter Scrabble words in my wallet!), Trivial Pursuit, Settlers of Catan, Scene It... any game and I'll try to win! And have a lot of laughs while I lose...

I saw this game-type concept on a fellow photographer's blog and it sounded fun so I thought you might enjoy playing too. Here's how it works... ask me a question - anything at all that you've been curious about... shooting techniques, equipment I use, what inspires me, when I first discovered my love of photography, my favorite colour... basically anything!

Feel free to post them as a comment to this entry or email them to me if you prefer. I'll start a new entry answering your questions soon!
