Refreshing cucumber was on the menu this month. Enjoy!

Catch-up blog posting of some of my recent iPhoneography shots. All of the following were taken and processed on the iPhone 4.
This was my first photography session via Helping Hearts, a project created with the goal of providing free photography sessions for families with children who are suffering a life-altering illness or disability.
I got to meet the adorable Gage, who was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. Shayna is his mom, and I was very impressed with how knowledgable she is about his condition. I didn’t get to meet the Dad, as they are from North Bay, and he had to go back for work.
I met Gage and Shayna at the Hospital for Sick Children, in downtown Toronto, for our shoot. Little Gage was super sleepy! As you’ll see from the photos, it was really hard to capture a shot of him with his eyes open.
Love this one of Gage and his mom:
When I first arrived Gage was snoozing in his crib:
As you can see he was one snoozy guy!
This was basically the only shot I captured with his beautiful blue eyes open:
Last shot of the session, snoozing against his mom:
It was wonderful to meet you Shayna and Gage!
This is a big catch-up blog posting, as I haven’t posted for a while!
I recently went downtown to Queen Street West with my daughter, and we found this adorable fascinator in a downstairs store on Queen Street for just $15, where almost the exact same thing was selling for $30 a half block away! It was an awesome shop, we will certainly visit again soon:
A few shots out and about in the Queen Street West alleyways:
A few weeks ago we were at the Summerhill Reservoir, and we met Gordon, who looks very much like a Golden Retriever I grew up with:
More shots of Gordon, and, yes, Noah ended up with very wet feet! Rebecca brought along her book:
I went on a photo walk with Toronto Photo Walks this past Saturday, lots of animals!
Met this cat on the way home:
The beautiful long haired cat was sitting in the front window of a home on route. The shot of the bowls was from inside a Buddhist Temple via Doors Open:
Dandelions everywhere!
I also took quite a few shots with my iPhone, but need a few more days to do something creative with them! They’ll show up soon! 🙂
(Equipment used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV (new version of this camera is the Canon EOS-1D X Digital), Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens)
Great pics Holly! I love R’s fascinator! Also, love the pics showing the green of spring!
Thanks Mon!
Finnegan is growing up, and is no longer a little kitten, but a young cat. So it was time for a photo update! (You can also see him here.) He looks very similar to his half-sister Alice (seen here at about the same age), but also quite different. He certainly has a boy personality! 😉
We started in the bedroom:
Lots of fun on the bed:
We were trying to get Finn to settle down, for some sleepy shots, so we tried a little snack in the kitchen:
You can’t really tell from these images, but it didn’t work! Finnegan was running around like a loon! No snoozy shots today:
I like the one where Finnegan is looking up at the camera!! 🙂
Thank you Kris!
