I have returned from Lebanon and will be posting images from there on my Fine Art Blog. So you can check that out for updates if you’re interested. I also have a picture and some news up about a recent publication I’ve had: one of my self portraits has made it to the front cover of a children’s book. So definitely go check that out if you’re interested.
I’m leaving for Lebanon tonight for just over two weeks. If you are trying to contact me, please use email, and I will get back to you as soon as I return.
And yes, I will be taking lots of pictures to show you all :).

This adorable little munchkin with the bright blue eyes and the kissable cheeks was my first attempt a children’s portraits; it wasn’t exactly an easy job, but it was definitely a pleasant challenge. The shoot was located at Toogood Pond in Markham, on what turned out to be a gorgeous day. Emily’s parents brought her a little tricycle that she could ride on for the first part of the pictures, time I spent getting to know her and making her comfortable with me. Throughout the rest of the shoot, we played pick-a-boo, patty cakes, climbed rocks, and ran around until we had to go home. Whenever I asked for a picture, Emily would exuberantly say “Cheese!” as long as she could muster; and for a little while each photo I snapped was perfect, until she got bored of the camera, that is. Eventually, she’d continue to say “Cheese!” and smile, but without looking at the camera! Too cute for words, but as I said earlier, this made the picture taking a little bit of a challenge. That wasn’t too much of an issue, however, because obviously, we got some incredible shots during what felt more like a play session than a photo shoot.

I’ve done quite a few engagements to date, and each time I am surprised at how different the images turn out. Natalie and Emil’s engagement pictures, taken this year, turned out to be adorable and smiley. They were smiling even in their kissing pictures. Lori and Joe’s engagement pictures, taken nearly a year ago, are until today some of the most romantic images I’ve taken. Same location: Edwards Gardens, completely different mood to the images. I suppose it all goes to show you how much the dynamic between a couple really is visible to other people; visible enough to capture on camera. Take a look at the images below and tell me what you think. Then, if you haven’t already, take a look at the images from Natalie and Emil’s engagement, and see if you can spot a difference in the mood of the photos. I sure do.

As part of my spring cleaning process, I’ve been looking through my external hard drive to determine what I should keep and what I’m able to delete. I was looking through some older photos and found quite a few that I really liked. As I continue to look through my digital files, I’ll be uploading more pictures onto this blog and onto my Fine Art Photography blog.
These photos were taken in May of last year. Olivia, the young girl with the black hair, was having her Confirmation, and so just before the service, her mother Patty (seen in one of the pictures below), had me come over to take pictures of her with her brother and her friend Jessica.
