Watch how I easily and quickly extend the background of my photo in Adobe Photoshop Elements. From ‘Portrait’ orientation to Square crop, in a snap. [Original unedited image] [Edited image] [Final image with background extended]

Sometimes (many times) you try something new or different and it fails. You can give up or make what you got work AND try again. This beautiful light is Dana. A long time collaborator who makes it easy for me and brings me chocolates. These images did not turn out how I wanted. I underexposed (yay for ‘raw’). Was trying to shoot ‘differently’ than I do. And while that’s good – to try new things – I was also working […]

A winter view of Toronto, from the heart of the city. I particularly like this level view of the high rises, which is a vantage point I don’t normally get to see. The city looks so different from this view. The gray tones feel so apt. Contact me here to book a session | Subscribe to my mailing list here

This week I came back from the dead. I finally shook that nasty flu I had. For 8 days I was sick and only started to feel normal on the 9th day, this past Sunday. Being sick sucks. And on that note, I digress. So what did I do this week? Well, for starters, I finally – shouts of exuberance and joy – painted my apartment. Some people scoffed at the idea of wasting money on a rental, but for […]

I have had a love affair with Ikea, ever since that first catalogue appeared in our mail slot as a teen. It was one of the first times I saw and really appreciated that there were different ways to decorate your home, apart from the traditional caribbean style curated by my parents. 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 […]
For CreatureLaurie. A fellow photographer and maker of clothing. I shoot for me. The light I see. I document because it resonates with me. It captures my attention. Makes me smile and wonder. And I think it’s awesome. I wonder if other people ‘get’ the light I see. But I guess that doesn’t really matter. Not that I don’t want it to ‘gotten’, to be liked by someone else, or for someone else to have a view-point on it, but […]
