Return of the Baby Robins

Filed under: iPhone,Life,The Natural World — Tags: , , , — Holly @ 10:32 am

I don’t know if this is the same mama Robin from two years ago, but I was really hoping she had learned that Avenue Road is not an ideal location for a nest. Given that there are five eggs, I fear there may be a repeat of the sad “survival of the fittest” situation. 🙁

First there was one, then two, three more eggs to possibly hatch:

Utah Photography Workshop: Toronto Family Photographer

Last week I attended an amazing workshop with Nichole Van, and I am missing the beautiful weather in Utah, a nice DRY heat rather then what we are currently experiencing in Toronto.

Here are some images I captured during the workshop. The first series is with models she organized for us at her home outdoor studio (her backyard):

The next day we moved to an off-site location. This image was shot with off-camera light that Nichole set up:

The rest of the images, from that shoot, were natural light:

On the way back to the hotel, one night, we stopped to photograph some beautiful horses, and the landscape:

Utah iPhone Photography

Filed under: iPhone,Life,Out & About,The Natural World — Tags: , , — Holly @ 12:07 pm

I traveled down to Utah last week for a photography workshop (more to come from that!), and used my iPhone camera/app to shoot and process the following shots. For me great photography apps on the iPhone make all the difference, it’s such an easy camera to pull out and have fun with!

Shots from the plane on my connecting flight to Chicago:

Shots from the plane much closer to Utah:

A few at the photo shoots in Utah (more to come from my Canon equipment):

Chicago to Toronto, note the Toronto skyline in the last two images:

Graduation Day: Toronto Family Photography

So proud of my daughter as she graduated from Junior High School today! She also received the most improved student award, wish I’d thought to bring the video camera for that one!

This is a dress she sewed herself, totally her style:

Out & About in Our Neighbourhood: Toronto Family Photographer

A recent weekend with the kids, Noah riding his new ripstik, visiting the local ice cream shoppe, hanging out at the park:

(Equipment Used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 70–200 f2.8L IS lens and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens)

On the way home Noah cooled off in a sprinkler:

I LOVE this series of shots as I feel I can envision the teenager Noah is soon to become:

The next afternoon we started off with an ice cream treat, before heading back to the park:

I was showing Noah how to make a sound with a blade of grass between your hands, then he was off to ripstik some more. Rebecca left, and then returned, and Noah took another break from ripstiking:

Love these last two with the extreme backlighting:
