Two weeks worth of images!

Filed under: Animals,Children,Life,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 10:31 pm

Wow! Didn’t realize I was so far behind in posting some images!

This one is from about two weeks ago, out and about running some errands:

We stopped by the local vet’s to visit kittens, again:

This past Sunday, once we determined that the weather was going to hold, we decided to make use of a free family pass to Centreville on Centre Island. Here’s a shot of Rebecca on the ferry on the way over to the Island:

Rebecca and Noah exit the Haunted Barrel Works ride at Centreville:

During dinner Noah was creating steam from his iced drink, can you see it?

Here Rebecca holds up what Noah choose to get instead of dessert, and funnily enough he named this little guy “Dessert”!
20080826-_W5I5418.jpg

“Dessert” even went for a ride with Noah, see him there? They both had a great time! 😉

At 8:15 pm we caught the ferry back to the mainland, I caught this shot of the skyline:
20080826-_W5I5439.jpg

Then this shot of Rebecca with the skyline in the background:
20080826-_W5I5447.jpg

And who could resist shooting this sky? Beautiful colour and amazing cloud formation as well!

Noah, with Rebecca in the background:

On Monday afternoon we went to the park and I caught this shot of ‘Maggie’s’ nose:
20080826-_W5I5501.jpg

Here is Maggie, a 9-year-old Golden Retriever that Rebecca just LOVES, she is a very sweet dog:

Rebecca against the fence at the baseball diamond:

As we were leaving the park the children pointed out a beautiful sunflower right beside the school:

On Tuesday we went for haircuts, here is the after of Rebecca:
20080826-_W5I5586.jpg

And here is the after of Noah, isn’t that a great haircut? 😉

And one more of Rebecca, who was happy to show off her new do:

That’s all for the moment!

Teddy: Toronto Pet Photography

Filed under: Animals,Family Pet Photography — Holly @ 5:16 pm

Meet Teddy! She’s a sweet apricot standard poodle, and we had a great session this past Saturday, perfect weather!

I love this first shot, such a water dog activity!
20080816-_W5I4872.jpg

Teddy was a bit excited, so it was a bit of a challenge to get her to lie down and stay put! But I managed to capture this shot of her:
20080816-_W5I4936.jpg

20080816-_W5I4992.jpg

Teddy is extremely protective of her owner, Liz. Whenever someone came along the path she would watch them until they were out of sight. Here she is watching a gentleman that came past while we were shooting. Of course the very positive side to this behaviour was that I could capture her standing still…if not always facing the correct direction!
20080816-_W5I4881.jpg

This was at the end of our hike through the ravine, she’s still a bit wet from the water she played in:
20080816-_W5I4995.jpg

Back home Teddy hangs out on her front step:
20080816-_W5I5057.jpg

Then I caught this shot, which I love, inside on the bench at the back of the kitchen:
20080816-_W5I5092.jpg

She is such a sweet dog, and by the end of the session had really warmed up to me, so much so that it was hard to photograph her as she kept coming right over to me, nuzzling me and looking for love. Thanks Liz and Teddy for the wonderful session!

August 2008 EatSavvy: Commercial Shoot

Filed under: Commercial,Food — Holly @ 6:20 pm

Some shots from this month’s EatSavvy shoot. EatSavvy will be published once a month, see last month’s post to learn more. As always, it was fun and we all enjoyed the delicious meal after we finished cooking, preparing and photographing (the dessert was especially yummy!):

Rainy Weekends…

Filed under: Children,The Natural World — Holly @ 6:02 pm

I think we in Toronto (and I’m sure elsewhere!) have had our share of rainy weekends this summer. We are almost half way through the month, and then summer will be over. So, not having had the chance to get outside to shoot today, I was going through some older shots that I thought I would post on my blog for fun.

20061027.2567.jpg

The rainy shots caught my eye, so I posted a few of them:

Shot with a macro lens:

And then a shot of Harry from the last day of school, as I hadn’t posted it as of yet. He’s tricky to catch as he’ll often ham it up if he sees me pointing the camera his way…but he’s hard to resist with that red hair and green eyes! (Of course I didn’t manage to capture a shot of my son on the last day of school…oh well!)
20080625-_W5I0227.jpg

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they are wrong about the weather forecast tomorrow…hoping for a sunny day for most of the day! (positive thinking!!!!) 🙂
