Sunday in Kensington Market

Filed under: Children,Friends,Life,Out & About,Toronto Neighbourhoods — Holly @ 7:32 pm

Last Sunday the children and I went with a friend to Kensington Market and met up with a new friend, Jane, and her two children Henry and Sadie. The weather was perfect!

Since it is such a colourful location I decided to really punch the colours up, for fun, in most of the photos.

Here Rebecca holds up a massive sweet potato from one of the outdoor stalls:

Noah watches over Henry as he examines displayed jewelry:

Rebecca also was very good at watching over Henry, as they make their way along the busy sidewalk:

Henry watches his sister in the distance:

We stop for a quick lunch break:

This puppet fellow was so funny! The kids had a great time watching him. Noah was so great with Henry, taking care of him and holding him up to see:

Rebecca, Sadie and Henry check out the puppet:

Noah gets up close and personal with the puppet:

Jane and her kids went home, as it was getting to be nap time, wish they could have stayed for SnoKones…

…and especially the bubbles!

Rebecca takes a break from window shopping, and the bubbles:

So much colour in Kensington Market! Really need to do a couple or a family shoot here I think!

More bubbles!

Noah has a meat paddy for a snack as Rebecca looks on:

Even though he has meat paddy crumbs on his face and shirt, I just LOVE the catch lights in his eyes in this shot:

Will definitely head back to Kensington Market again in the future!

Distillery Shooting

Filed under: Friends,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 10:20 pm

As promised yesterday, here’s another blog post.

I did some shooting down in the Distillery District recently, so thought I would share a few images. Please let me know if you’d like to do a family/couple/pet photography session here, I think it would be a fabulous location!

For a change we tried shooting in the harsh sunlight to see how it would turn out, we then used this same location later in the day as well:

What a difference a few hours makes in the lighting! These images, taken later in the day, have a much softer quality both in the light and the colour.

Saturday, Out and About, In the Park, Out to Dinner!

Filed under: Children,Friends,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 6:03 pm

While Noah was off with a friend at an event, Rebecca and I ran some errands on our own.

Caught this shot as we waited for our lunch to arrive:

Noah had a great time at his event and came home with a wonderfully painted face! So once a friend of mine arrived we all headed over to the park:

Oh, yes, one of the things we purchased yesterday was a hair colouring product (a mousse that, apparently, will wash out after 8–10 hair washes…I guess we’ll see!)

Rebecca was thrilled to colour her hair!

Depending on the light her hair has a very different tone to it, here is it darker and much more sophisticated.

Caught some shots of Noah on the swing:

Some shots of Rebecca with lovely bokeh in the background:

This shot is very reminiscent of these series of shots, from my old blog.

This one makes me think of Oliver Twist (“Please sir, can I have some more…?)

Showing off our latest treasure:

Then we decided we were ready for dinner, so we walked up Yonge Street to Terroni, here Noah was busy drinking some water and asked his sister to just ‘wait’ a second…

I think he looks like a very cute little mouse nibbling his bread! lol

Uh, bet you can’t guess what he choose to have for dinner?? 😉

Looking a bit concerned…no idea why!

A quiet moment:

Rebecca on the way home:

Noah on the way home (he’s lost quite a bit of his face make-up from eating his dinner):

It ended up being a very nice day, and the weather was perfect too!

A few from today…

Filed under: Baby,Children,Friends,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 10:53 pm

…but none of my kids!

First off this absolutely adorable baby girl. I asked her mom if it was ok if I caught a few shots while she was on the swing.

Look at those amazing eyes! (I’m really hoping mom & dad will hire me for a photo shoot before they return to their home country!)

Someone was giving out washed and clean used stuff toys at the park, Harry took just a few!

Love the red of his hair against the green background:

Saturday, in the park…

Filed under: Animals,Children,Friends,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 9:39 pm

Finally! Some nice spring weather! We headed to the park in the late afternoon. On the way there we ran into a friendly neighbourhood cat:

I caught a shot of Rebecca on the swing (looking oh so happy I would say!):

Noah, smiling at a little boy at the park:

Then I got to talking to a neighbour, Ken, who’s wife and son are in England, so it’s just him and Alison. We decided to have an impromptu bbq, we supplied the hot dog, hamburgers, tomatoes, lettuce and buns. They supplied the bbq, condiments, sautéed onions, beer and wine, and, voilà! A nice evening was had by all!
