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?
20080826-_W5I5396.jpg

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! 😉
20080826-_W5I5429.jpg

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:
20080826-_W5I5509.jpg

Maggie’s paws:

One more of Maggie:

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:
20080826-_W5I5576.jpg

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? 😉
20080826-_W5I5593.jpg

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

That’s all for the moment!

Holiday Monday and Yesterday

Filed under: Children,Friends,Lensbaby,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 5:33 pm

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:
20080808-_W5I4412.jpg

Rebecca, wet from the wading pool:
20080808-_W5I4439.jpg

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:
20080808-_W5I4581.jpg

20080808-_W5I4626.jpg

Noah hanging upsidedown from the monkey bars:
20080808-_W5I4634.jpg

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 (???):
20080808-_W5I4690.jpg

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:
20080808-_W5I4710.jpg

20080808-_W5I4715.jpg

Then Diane arrived and I caught this beautiful shot of her. You may remember her from an earlier blog post as well:
20080808-_W5I4732.jpg

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

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:
20080727-_W5I3366.jpg

Noah watches over Henry as he examines displayed jewelry:
20080727-_W5I3383.jpg

Rebecca also was very good at watching over Henry, as they make their way along the busy sidewalk:
20080727-_W5I3398.jpg

Henry watches his sister in the distance:
20080727-_W5I3409.jpg

We stop for a quick lunch break:
20080727-_W5I3424.jpg

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:
20080727-_W5I3447.jpg

Rebecca, Sadie and Henry check out the puppet:
20080727-_W5I3461.jpg

Noah gets up close and personal with the puppet:
20080727-_W5I3472.jpg

Jane and her kids went home, as it was getting to be nap time, wish they could have stayed for SnoKones…
20080727-_W5I3487.jpg

20080727-_W5I3578.jpg

…and especially the bubbles!
20080727-_W5I3593.jpg

20080727-_W5I3605.jpg

20080727-_W5I3608.jpg

Rebecca takes a break from window shopping, and the bubbles:
20080727-_W5I3620.jpg

So much colour in Kensington Market! Really need to do a couple or a family shoot here I think!
20080727-_W5I3649.jpg

More bubbles!
20080727-_W5I3666.jpg

20080727-_W5I3672.jpg

20080727-_W5I3706.jpg

20080727-_W5I3722.jpg

Noah has a meat paddy for a snack as Rebecca looks on:
20080727-_W5I3826.jpg

Even though he has meat paddy crumbs on his face and shirt, I just LOVE the catch lights in his eyes in this shot:
20080727-_W5I3877.jpg

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!

_W5I1804.jpg

_W5I1821.jpg

_W5I1858.jpg

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:
_W5I1825.jpg

_W5I1841.jpg

_W5I1835.jpg

20080713-_W5I1873.jpg

20080713-_W5I1876.jpg

20080713-_W5I1871.jpg

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.
