I loved working with E-Lisa. And can’t wait until we shoot again. This shoot was for an upcoming beauty line – but we got to have a bit of fun at the end.

Action is contagious. I tweeted yesterday: It’s funny how when you start doing things – really doing them, no holds bar – it forces you to figure out things. And I think – I am really realizing – how true this is. If you’re a perfectionist. Get over it. Do it even if you think there are mistakes in it. You can fix it later. The fact that you put it into action and that there is a later, is […]

“When I grow up I wanna be happy.” Doesn’t that sound simple? And I think it’s true. The crux of what we all want, going back to when we were children. As a child, you lived entirely in the moment. You were either happy or sad and generally you were trying to do something that made you happy. Run. Play. Jump. Eat. And if someone (a caring parent or friend) got in the way – you didn’t comprehend the why […]

As luck would have it, I also loved the clean lines of Swedish style. It represented to me, that you could have simplicity, beauty and organization in home […]

It’s the weekend. Time to slow down and take it easy, at least for those that aren’t working weekend jobs. But still, the weekend feels slower paced, just a little more relaxed, regardless of what you’re doing. It’s a good time to make time. I know it get’s hectic if you have a family or you hold multiple jobs or are an entrepreneur and always on the hustle, but everyone needs a moment to relax and reflect. Sometimes if you […]
Amorphous. It feels such. Maybe because it’s September now and I’m feeling like I’m moving into a new chapter. So, to that end, I’m working at being a bit more cohesive, structured and directional. Ooh, those are all good words. So what has this week entailed? Well… a lot of blogging and writing. It takes a lot of work to even put out a small blog post. Coming up with ideas and photos and a way to write it all […]

I love Amber’s face. I love the lines. Her amazing green eyes. She is a pleasure to photograph. And this time, she introduced me to the Parkwood Estate in Oshawa. Parkwood is an amazingly beautiful mansion and grounds, completed in 1917 and home originally to “R. Samuel McLaughlin (founder of General Motors of Canada”. We actually arrived around midday, so not the optimal time to be shooting! We were lucky…
