For Sandy

March 9, 2012 by Ardean Peters

Well I guess it’s be-fitting that it’s Sandy’s birthday today! I specifically thought of you, Sandy, when I was out scouting this photo location and then saw these trees and buds 🙂

Ron & Leigh-Anne | Toronto Engagement Photography

March 6, 2012 by Ardean Peters

This post is WAY overdue. I’m working on getting through the back log this week. I had so much fun on this engagement session with Leigh-Anne and Ron, that happened back in Nov! They are now married and I have their wedding post in the pipe, ready to go. We met up in Streetsville and wandered the streets, looking for good spots to shoot. We started off at the train tracks and ended up on the other side of town, […]

relax / catch-up

March 5, 2012 by Ardean Peters

I was on a much needed, mini-vacay-staycay the last week and a bit. My sister was kind enough to put me up in her apartment, in the city. It was SO good to just relax and eat healthy and not think. At least not think about all the things I have to do. I got to go out walking and brought my cam along for some pics – check ’em out below. Ooh, and I did a couple shoots while […]

What am I talking about? Light! Good light is good light and not good light is Bad light. Period. Shooting at high noon (12-12:30pm) is a major challenge. It can be done, but you really have to find yourself some good shade (or […]

Toronto Snow Day

February 20, 2012 by Ardean Peters

We had the loveliest snow over night last Friday (Feb 17th) and woke up to snow covered everything on Saturday more. It was the ‘pretty’ kind of snow, that lays softly on tree branches and rooftops. I took some pics that snowy morning and the day after. Interesting to see how the view changes. a lovely front door and squirrel tracks 🙂

how ‘smart’ are they really?

February 19, 2012 by Ardean Peters

Looking at Zack Arias’ Project #de_VICE, it’s amazing how prevalent smart device’s really are. Then I ask myself, what did we do 10-15 years ago? Has the smart device replaced the book? If you’re on a train/bus now, all you see are smart phones. 15 years ago, there would have been a lot more books. Has this led to the decline of book reading? I’m a reader (although I’ve been on a long draught now, not due to my phone) […]
