Change Your Perspective

January 14, 2015 by Ardean Peters

‎ “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” – Mother Teresa A friend posted something on facebook and tagged me on it (as friends are wont to do 🙂 ) and it was in regards to remembering perspective. That, how you view something in this moment, can and will change in the next moment. And that sometimes you simply have to put something down and then think about it again. Today I […]

Keep holding on. You’ll get there.

January 5, 2015 by Ardean Peters

It’s that moment when you’ve (I) held on long enough that you start to see that the vision can become a reality. It’s not easy getting here. There are many failed trys, but it’s so good when you start to see a new, happier, reality. It seems I have the deepest thoughts when I’m taking a shower. Maybe because it’s one of the few times now-adays, that I am truly ‘dis-connected’. And this thought is really directed at myself. I’ve […]

Right now I’m taking

December 29, 2014 by Ardean Peters

‘Give and take’. Sometimes you take. And sometimes, you gotta give. And I think… I think right now, I’m entering a time to take. Take some time for myself that is. To worry about my problems or not. And do what I want, or not. Whatever it is, I’m gonna get a let selfish and think about me a little bit more. Not to say, that I’m going to become this horrible self-concerned, greedy person, but that I’ll just be […]

Merry Christmas | Happy Festivus | Happy Holidays

December 25, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Although I grew up attending Sunday School and celebrating Christmas, I now find that I don’t enjoy the commercialism of the ‘holiday’ (the idea of going into a mall at this time is heart stopping), am not particularly religious and actually love some of the tenents of Festivus. So, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and ‘Happy Festivus, for the Rest of Us’! Ya, you know the episode of Seinfeld that I’m talking ’bout. P.S. I made this photo of the lovely […]

Happy Monday | Create Yourself

December 22, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. – George Bernard Shaw And so the task is at hand. And the power is in your hands. Or I should say my hands. Who do I really want to be? ‘Cause I will be honest and say, that I don’t know yet. I have an inkling and I am moving in the direction, but it feels slow, un-sure. Still afraid to really boldly say ‘THIS IS ME’. This is […]

Cassandra, Go-Getter | Toronto Photographer

December 18, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Preview from a casual session I did with Cassandra over the weekend. I like working with her because she is, a ‘go-getter’. She hustles and get’s ish done and keeps it moving. I told her, that is the reason (and not just because she’s a beautiful person and model), why I like working with her and am willing to help her out anytime. “When you show people that you know what you want; you are authentic & nice about it, […]

Happy Monday | Happiness

December 15, 2014 by Ardean Peters

One thing that does make me happy…. light “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to keep things in perspective and deal with them.” Sounds so simple. Maybe it is, ya think? Not dwelling on the stuff that goes ‘wrong’ or changing your attitude on how you view things. Not basing your happiness on what happens to you – but learning to, remembering to keep that separate. Not taking things personally and enjoying each moment. I’m working […]

Noelle’s Portrait Session | Toronto Photographer

December 11, 2014 by Ardean Peters

I had a lovely time working with Noelle, who simply wanted some nice portraits of herself. Something that after we leave school, and the yearly, obligatory school photo, when the P’s are called and you hurry first to the girls washroom and try to peep over the 4 girls in front of you and then just do a quick once over and then run down to the gym and stand in line behind a ‘Pa…’, that we don’t often think […]
