Dogs, Cats and Hamsters, Oh My!: Pet Photography, Toronto

Filed under: Animals,Family Pet Photography — Holly @ 6:53 pm

Our friends Ken, Deborah, Alison and Harry (who live just around the corner from us), recently brought home a BEAUTIFUL black standard poodle puppy, whom they call “Madeline”.

Isn’t she just gorgeous???

She is just so perfectly proportioned too! Perfect miniature of her future adult self.

Her face is a bit messy after her meal!

She’s chewing on the tail of her stuffed toy rat, in case you’re wondering what the heck that is! 😉

Their cat’s are adjusting very well! Misty has no problem hanging out on the couch with puppy, kids and strangers all about:

Roblin is chilling as well. (Yes, Roblin is missing an eye, she was adopted from the Humane Society, and her eye had to be removed due to infection.)

And then, I thought, I should take some photos of my daughter’s pet hamster, Norbert, especially since I had photographed her brother’s pet beta fish, Dragon, quite a while ago!

Here Norbert tries to escape—that’s my theory anyway!:

LOVE the bokeh in this shot!

Photographing a hamster in low light is very challenging, they twitch very fast! Would love to do some more photos of Norbert, but in better light next time!

SavvyMom Christmas Party

Filed under: Children,Headshots,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 6:20 pm

The kids and I had a great time at the recent SavvyMom Holiday party held at the Granite Club.

Air hockey was a popular choice!

Noah is gleeful with victory over his sister! lol

Five pin bowling was also fun!

The following are shots of the other SavvyMom kids in attendance. (You may recognize the first two if you’ve been following my blog for a while…)

At the end of the party we went in search of some natural light for a couple of head shots for the ‘About Us’ section of SavvyMom.ca.

Denise is the Food Editor for EatSavvy, and you may also remember how from this shoot back in October 2007:

Andrea is the Director, Sales and New Business Development at SavvyMom Media:

All and all a great time was had by all, and we all received gift bags of extremely yummy cookies to take home with us as well!

Out & About & Haircuts

Filed under: Animals,Children,Life,Out & About — Holly @ 11:37 am

Catch up time again! Kids and I went out the other week, hoping to get haircuts for both of them…unfortunately our haircut place was closed (due to construction on the street and no hot water!), so we ended up just running some errands.

Noah, on Yonge Street:

I can only catch fleeting glances of my daughter at times!

Had Noah pause for a moment, as I knew the out-of-focus ties in the background would offer an interesting colour backdrop:

At the dollar store a fellow asked if we could watch his dog while he ran in for a few minutes. Love how dogs just watch and wait patiently for their owners, you can tell that their owners are their lives, too cute!

Rebecca, giving me the ‘look’:

In one of my son’s FAVOURITE stores, “Kidding Awound”, Rebecca checks out the merchandise:

Noah enjoys the garden/park in Yorkville:

Colourful holiday shop windows make for a very good background:

Finally, we return for hair cuts!

Don’t you just love it when your children discover the love of reading? Noah works on finishing his book while we wait for his sister to be finished with her haircut:

Rebecca, with her new hairdo. (Unfortunately she hates it now! lol)

That’s all for the moment, but will be posting more in a day or two!

So Lovely Jewelry: Product Photography, Toronto, Ontario

Filed under: Commercial — Holly @ 7:04 pm

Today I am showcasing my friend Deborah’s beautiful jewelry. She had an in-home show this week, and I popped over before to photograph her product. All shots were taken with the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens, a macro lens helps tremendously with shots such as these.

She sold quite a bit, but she also has some pieces still available. She does custom work, and if you see something here that has sold she can re-create it for you. Please contact her directly by clicking here.

On to the beautiful creations now!

Close-up of a beautiful funky (and perfect for dressy too!) necklace:
