In the terrible, terrible… TERRIBLE!! heat and humidity of July this summer, I went to the southwest section of Toronto to do portraits of Andrew for his upcoming website. The site will showcase his talents for teaching and passing his love for percussion on to his young students, and marketing his passion for performance to [...]

After shooting this year’s TCDSB Staff Arts headshots, I did what I usually do, and I analyzed my work. I’ve shot the headshots for their musicals the past 5 years, and since then, I’ve gone from doing what they ask for – very basic (and very boring) – to setting up shots in a more [...]

I got to step away from both the computer and unpacking (yes, still…) this past Sunday and get creative and crazy for Jessica and Patrick’s engagement shoot.

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 [...]
