Holiday Monday and Yesterday

Kids and I went to the park for a bit last Monday. Our second trip to the wading pool this summer…but no bunnies this time.

Noah is enjoying his swimming goggles this summer:

Rebecca, wet from the wading pool:

I thought I’d do some lensbaby shooting, since I haven’t shot with it much lately:
20080808-_W5I4474.jpg

Sunflower, that I saw over a fence, so was a bit tricky to shoot…especially with the lensbaby!
20080808-_W5I4483.jpg

Rebecca, with that lensbaby blur:
20080808-_W5I4487.jpg

We came back home and I caught this quick shot of Rebecca while I BBQ’d some sausage for dinner:
20080808-_W5I4499.jpg

After dinner we went back to the park for scootering and skateboarding:

Noah hanging upsidedown from the monkey bars:

Almost home, and caught this shot of Noah with his scooter. I didn’t notice, at the time, what appears to be a reflection on the sidewalk from the lights hitting his scooter…which is the only thing I can think that it could be (???):

Yesterday an old friend from high school was dropping by for a very quick photo, the kids helped me test out the light in the front hallway:

Then Diane arrived and I caught this beautiful shot of her. You may remember her from an earlier blog post as well:

Ok, so I’m caught up for the moment, but sure to have some images from the weekend to share soon! Bye for now!

Another week’s worth of images….

Hmmmm, yet another week’s worth of images…I really need to try to build some time into the week to upload on a more regular basis! Well, I do have some more images to upload, so I will aim to do that in the next day or two…certainly before the end of the week in any case!

The kids and I had an errand to run up at Yonge and St. Clair the other day, so had a quick bite of some sushi (actually Noah passed on the sushi, and had McD’s instead! Crazy kid! lol).
20080707-_W5I1544.jpg

I decided to throw the Lensbaby G3 on the camera, but forgot that I had the star shaped aperture disk installed, which explains the star shaped bokeh!
20080707-_W5I1546.jpg

With this shot I realized I had the star shaped aperture disk installed…kind of hard to miss in this one! ;-)
20080707-_W5I1563.jpg

And in this one too!
20080707-_W5I1570.jpg

Then I switched back to the regular round disk:
20080707-_W5I1576.jpg

Back to my fav 85:
20080710-_W5I1617.jpg

Shot this one of my sister in very low light conditions, gotta love a fast aperture for that!
20080711-_W5I1651.jpg

Diane is a really old friend of my sister’s and mine from high school days. I haven’t seen her in about 23 years or so! And she’s just as beautiful as she was back then!
20080711-_W5I1663.jpg

Shot wide open under an overpass:
20080712-_W5I1666.jpg

Just out and about on the street somewhere:
20080712-_W5I1679.jpg

Ran into this good looking kitty in a back alley on the way home. Managed to get a few shots before he became much too interested in just saying hello and jumped off the car to visit with us.

That’s all for today…more to follow tomorrow!

Spring Thaw?

I noticed some HUGE icicles hanging from the roof on the back deck today, the melting has begun, but I know spring is not just around the corner. (Unfortunately, hopefully it won’t be too much longer now though…)

The B.N.-Family: Toronto Maternity Photography

Tracey and Jeff (and Shiki) are expecting their first baby in April.

Shiki was a bit nervous of the camera, so I had to shoot fast once we got her into position:

The mom and dad to be:

I hope Shiki will remember me when I return for the newborn shoot! :-)

Thank you Tracey and Jeff! It was wonderful to spend the time with you and Shiki. I look forward, as I’m sure you do, to Nate’s arrival in April! :-)

Lensbaby in the Snow

The following shots were all taken today against the backdrop of snow still on the ground from the storm on Sunday.

Noah is actually lying in the snow here, he was having great fun playing on the way home:
