Normally, I wouldn’t be very happy getting up at 4:30 in the morning to drive three hours to London, but this is a bit different.

While in Sudbury, I was supposed to do a family shoot (from the facebook fanpage – join up, maybe you’ll win one too!) but unfortunately they had to cancel. Instead, I went to Jessica’s for a quick shoot of her kids, Zachary and Corbett, in their gis. I’d write more about it, but I have [...]

Not to mention, one of my favourite magazines (and I’m totally addicted to magazines)! And, I’m in the June issue. Okay, it isn’t the [...]

This past Friday was the Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School Prom at the Ajax Convention Centre. The dresses were beautiful, the kids were lots of fun, the security was secure, and the fruit juice flowed like (non-alcoholic) wine. The portraits were quick, shooting only a few frames as the kids came in and I was [...]

In the midst of rebuilding the site, I took the Victoria Day weekend to visit some family and attend my cousin Edward’s wedding to his longtime girlfriend Sara. Sara and Ed have been together about as long as my wife and I have, and they’ve been friends almost as long as well. They’re perfect for [...]
