Holiday Time!

New York City is a perfect place to visit during the holiday season. The tree at Rockefeller Center was stunning! Everything was magical and also, reminded us of the movie "Home Alone".

While in New York, one of my favourite Canadian bands, Hey Rosetta! just happened to be playing! I may have just seen them play five days earlier in Toronto but hey, they're one of my favourites so I thought why not take advantage of seeing them in a smaller venue. It was a fabulous show!

Baby Makes Four

The last time that I photographed this lovely family, Esme was only two months old. Now she's almost three and her baby brother is two months. My, how time flies! Esme's Mom + Dad are super cool parents who both work in creative fields so it's only a given that Esme + her brother are super cool kids. I loved Esme's Stella McCartney sweater and almost wished that it came in my size!

I loved that Esme was playing with buildings, considering her Dad photographs architecture for a living!

Phoenix Turns One!

I have been photographing Phoenix and his family at lot over the past year or so. What fun it has been! Portraits are such an important thing, especially when the kids are so young. They grow and change quickly! Capturing all of the stages along the way is so precious. Their photo journey began with maternity portraits done last November. The next session took place when Phoenix was six months old. The last session was a family one done in the Distillery District this fall. From all of these sessions, I designed an adorable Accordion Mini Brag book!

Most recently I traveled to their new home to do a "Smash the Cake" portrait session to celebrate Phoenix's first birthday. The li'l man had a lot of fun with the cake to say the least!

Phoenix is turning into quite the little sportsman! Look at the way he holds that hockey stick.

Alex Turns One!

Caroline + Vav have appeared on my blog a couple times - at their wedding in June 2008 and at their first family portrait session when Alex was just a wee baby. Recently I met all three of them again for a new family portrait session to celebrate Alex's first birthday! We had a great autumn day to do the session and Alex was proudly showing his first attempts at walking. I can hardly believe how big he is getting!

Miles Jones

Miles Jones. Emcee/Producer extraordinaire. Runaway Jones (I'm sure you've seen the logos everywhere in Toronto!). Recently one of his songs was chosen for a CSI episode (awesome!) and even better, one was chosen by CTV for the Olympics. Check out his tunes on MySpace.


(And he even has a wiki page!)
