Happy Birthday Daddy-O
We Heart Amy Savin.
While posting the winter photographs from Cherry Beach I fondly remembered shooting there last year with folk musician Amy Savin. Amy is a bright and a genuine talent and was an absolute joy to photograph. Needless to say, I am extremely excited for her upcoming album release.
Old friend, new photos
Bonito em Brasil.
Many of you know that I am in Brazil, and I have benefited tremendously from your emails and encouragement! The shoot is almost done, and I am proud of what the team has accomplished.
we stay the same (and change at the same time)
After spending the majority of the summer working overseas in Africa I came home to Ontario with fresh eyes. In desperate need of rest I found myself at my parent’s house in Brampton. I usually don’t consider Brampton as a place “to get away from it all”, but only minutes after my friend from Toronto showed up we were walking through the fields and farmland retreating from the burden of time that would steal me away to travel once again. We considered our time that weekend “ageless.” We dressed up in costumes, and towed my dog around exploring abandoned farms like we were nine-year-old adventurers rather than two mid-twenties artists. There is something about the rural Ontario landscape that inspired us to “play”. The whimsy of that weekend helped me rejuvenate in ways that so many international vacations had failed to do in the past. The photographs reflect a number of things. A fierce fondness for my homeland, the desire to see it grow as I do, but mostly I hope they reflect the way that I feel about my friends when I see them in it. The range of weather and the timeless landscapes affected our emotions, heightened our humour, and bonded us together just as we prayed the summer would before the fall brought back upon us the responsibilities of adulthood.
Princess at the Swan.
Keri in another lighting test from last week. This is at my favourite restaurant in the whole wide world The Swan. They were gracious enough to let us use the space in the morning before they opened. Keri (LOVE!) was gracious enough to help me out on the first shoot of the day. If you look closely you can see Ryan in the back.
I’m still processing the shoot from last week (almost done!) This is to cure my need to post photos since I want to show my wonderful clients first.
