Literally the first frame of our shoot on Saturday. Just testing light. Un-‘edited’ except that it was way underexposed and I had to drag the slider all the way up. More to come…

I bought a book! Ya, I did say that with a little bit of excitement. Because it’s been a long time, since I’ve been excited about reading. ‘The world would be blank without books!’: Watch the world’s most adorable 8-year-old reading ambassador Now, I might be, getting a bit ahead of myself, ’cause I’ve bought books before and in fact I used to be a HUGE bookworm and somehow along the way I stopped reading on a regular basis. I […]

Not yet 2, but do you see that personality? Nurtured by her mother LaMoi, soul AND body. I had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with this duo and a chance to photograph just a small part of their relationship. We had so much fun. She is such a ball of energy, so smart and if I could, I would have stolen her away. This is my favourite type of family shoot to do, where it’s just about hanging out […]

Not that it always, or ever, feels like that. Lol. But it is true and good to remember. Mistakes actually move us forward. That’s why I love photography. Even in the midst of making mistakes and being disappointed in an outcome, I am always able to – with a day to step back a lot of the time – look at what I did and see what I can improve, and fix for next time. More important, photography is that […]

She has a tattoo on her hand written in Greek, which says ‘family’. I have photographed her 3x now: 2010, 2012 and now 2014 and she is always a joy to work with and to shoot creatively with. No real agenda. Some outfits. A vague idea of for a portrait session. We work it out as we go along, just trying to create a good image and have some fun while doing it. The surprise for us during this session […]

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” Lao Tzu And I think of the first line of this Lauryn Hill song, but that’s a love song.

My name in lights! Well not exactly in lights, but in the credits! I had the opportunity to do photography on “The Prettiest Kate” short, from PrettyFeet Productions. It was really cool to work with a great group of people and watch a production take life. Seeing the final product is amazing. How the director and dop and ad (she kicked butt!), actor’s and EVERYONE’s part fit’s together in the end to make something cohesive is a LOT of work […]

Happy Monday! Action Expresses Priorities I was watching a talk Casey Neistat gave and in it he showed one of his vids and this quote was in it. It resonates so much with me. Action Expresses Priorities. What you do, is what is most important to you. That’s how I interpret it. So simple huh? You can’t say something is really important and that you want to be doing it, because if it really was you would be doing it. […]
