On an early and cold morning in Toronto’s High Park, I met up with Melissa. Our 3rd time shooting.

pure fun was had on this shoot with emilia. there where ‘o’ faces and talk of ‘Chaka’ hair. need I say more? and such a beautiful girl – who easily transitioned from ‘sexy’, to ‘rude gyal’, to ‘sweet and innocent’. you only have to look in her eyes, to see her beautiful nature peering out. it was a pleasure emila – next time!

Samantha | Such a doll. Check out this shot. I mean, how cute is she?! Besides rocking such a cute outfit – she endeared in those killer [and I mean killer 6+ heels!], just escaping a tumble, here and there.

I also used my diy ‘ring light’, for the two closeup shots below, with the solid black […]

Camile | It was dark and a little cold, but Camille was a trooper. This was a different shoot for me, being one of my first ‘night’ shoots. Love that Camille is SUCH a natural personality ~ just had to post so many from the shoot, cause so many are awesome. Enjoy 🙂

Melissa Hwang ~ find her here | read about our 1st shoot here! | My second time shooting with Melissa and again such a treat. Shooting fashion is new to me, but there couldn’t be a better introduction to it then with a model like Melissa ~ a consummate professional. We met early on a Sunday morning, in downtown Toronto. Working some killer heels and stylish fall jackets, she easily brought some killer looks, while precariously balancing off of ladders […]
