Just for fun!

And just for fun I thought I’d upload a photo I took today, before we took down all the Christmas lights.

Well! Three blog posts in one day! I feel like I’ve accomplished something today now! 🙂

Horses: Sunnybrook Stables, Toronto

A friend and I went to Sunnybrook Stables, here in Toronto, the other day to capture some horse photos. (Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now!) We were lucky enough to run into an owner of one of the horses who invited us into the stable to take some photographs. Thanks Cindy!

Here are a few from the afternoon:

Christmas 2008

I have to admit I actually took a break this holiday season, staying away from the computer as much as possible. But now that my holiday is coming to a close I thought I should post some shots from the holiday season.

Here’s a shot of the holiday baking I did this season:

A shot of the presents and filled stockings under the tree:

Noah waits patiently for his sister to wake up, while keeping an eye on the presents:

Rebecca checks out the contents of her stocking:

Rebecca LOVES her new winter hat, wears it while trying out a new game for the wii:

Noah plays with a new gift while keeping an eye on the wii action:

Hope all my clients and those who follow my blog had a wonderful holiday season!

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

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???

20081212-_W5I1242.jpg

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

20081214-_W5I1360.jpg

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.)

20081214-_W5I1345.jpg

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!:

20081215-_W5I1433.jpg

LOVE the bokeh in this shot!

20081215-_W5I1429.jpg

20081215-_W5I1419.jpg

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

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

20081207-_W5I1115.jpg

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:

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!
