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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Happy Monday | Be Kind

December 8, 2014 by Ardean Peters

“Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” A friend posted an exchange on facebook that spoke to this. If someone one does not smile at you. Or doesn’t hold the door. Is rude and impatient. Or any number of things. Maybe this time, try and not take it personally. Maybe it’s not about you. Be kind in return, anyway.

Family Portrait Session | Toronto Family Photographer

December 4, 2014 by Ardean Peters

High Park + a cool family and their brand new pet dog and you can’t go wrong. Well, family portraits are challenging. Trying to coordinate all the kids and sometimes non-cooperation and getting everyone looking at the camera, is HARD! But great when you get it, which you eventually do. What I really like are the moments in-between, when you can get the family to loosen up and really play. Those are my favourites.

Happy Monday! | Toronto Photographer

October 6, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Happy Monday! “There are 7 days in a week and someday isn’t one of them.” Someday I want to do ALL the things I keep saying I want to. “Someday” will NEVER come. So at some point you have to say I’m doing them NOW. RIGHT NOW. I’m going to New York. I’m losing weight. I’m going to ENJOY life. Today can be that someday. I had a great weekend y’all. No, I don’t really say ‘y’all’ in real life, […]

So, my new favvvvorite program is ‘The Mindy Project’. What’s the Mindy Project you ask? Oh my goodness, how do you not know? Well, I will tell you. Have you ever heard of a show called ‘The Office’? Well Mindy Kaling, she was the ‘brown’ girl on ‘The Office’. Not only did she play a character on the show, I came to find out that she also wrote and produced on the show and now she has written this new […]

Downtown Toronto Portraits | Toronto Photographer

October 1, 2014 by Ardean Peters

A few more pics from a quick session over the summer with Derome a young Toronto Model & Actor. We shot down-town in Toronto’s Business district, which is great because you can easily find a nice nook or space to shoot a cool Portrait or Headshot.
