That time we ate Apricots | Toronto Photographer

May 13, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Don’t feel like reading? Click the link at the bottom of this post to hear me talk all good and stuff Larissa Benfey (click) , Actress, Model, lover of dried apricots! Yes, we did find out that fact, during this particular photo-shoot, when I broke out some snacks, including dried apricots. So this shoot we did earlier this year. I had so much fun with Larissa. She was totally amazing, just non-stop fun and laughter. So easy going! I don’t […]

That time I obviously thought that closing my eyes in pictures was the ‘in’ thing, along with the awesome self-cropped jean jacket. Ya, I got loads of style. 🙂

Cute kid, White Seamless and a Photographer | Toronto Photographer

May 7, 2014 by Ardean Peters

So this cutie-patooty is Noah. I did this shoot earlier in the year, with him and his parents, obviously. So he is a young model in the Toronto area and they were looking for some new photos. I have to say it was a lot of fun working with a little kid versus an adult. I mean, I do have lot’s of fun working with adults. Actually, I think I become the little kid when working with other adults. 🙂 […]

“The easiest way to predict your future is to create it…”

May 3, 2014 by Ardean Peters

(If you want to hear this post, click the link at the bottom) So that quote is from a book I’m reading called, “Everyday Excellence” and it is authored by a local Torontonian and Poet, by the name of Dwayne Morgan. The full quote is, “The easiest way to predict your future is to create, and the only way to create it is to dream big dreams.” So I’m reading this book. I’ve actually had it for a long time. […]

#throwbackthursday

May 1, 2014 by Ardean Peters

4 years ago, I shot this with Dana, on a street just north of Queen St. off Mc.Caul. I can never remember the name of that street. If you’re in Toronto, you know the street. It’s got that parking lot you know, that if you don’t get a spot in the close lot, right on Queen street across from the Gap, you gotta walk all the way over there. Well this was the 1st time I photographed her. The 2nd […]

Clarity and a Boudoir-esque not-Fashion, Portrait shoot | Toronto Photographer

April 29, 2014 by Ardean Peters

I woke up with a feeling of clarity. You know those moments when everything seems to make sense? Ya, one of those moments. Those moments are good. And I think it’s very important to pay attention when those moments come around and to act, if at all possible. I think that clarity is real and it’s a gift and when you don’t act, you know what happens, all of a sudden it’s gone and you’re left feeling a little bit […]

What defines me?

April 26, 2014 by Ardean Peters

‘Who Am I?’. A question I ask myself a lot. I realise I am still – still – trying to figure that out. Yesterday I attended a funeral for my cousins’ mother. A life gone, a ceremony of remembrance. Tears and sadness and laughter too. It makes you think. They read her eulogy, describing who she was, what she’d done in life and re-counted anecdotes of her life. An attempt at giving those in attendance that only knew her in […]
