Wonderful Summer Weather in April: Out & About, Toronto Family Photographer

Filed under: Life,Out & About — Tags: Canon, Children, family photographer, family photography, kids, lenses, photographer, Toronto — Holly @ 12:13 pm

For those that live in Toronto, wasn’t the weather over the Easter long weekend amazing? Summer in April, total bliss!

On the Saturday of the long weekend Rebecca came out with me to run some errands in the beautiful weather. (Equipment Used: The following were all shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and my beloved Canon 85 f1.2L lens, it gives amazing bokeh!)

One of my fave spots for photos in our ‘hood is under the train bridge, have used it often before (see here, and here, and here). Love how the red laces stand out!

The night before, we all celebrated the beautiful warm weather by going out to dinner, managing to snag a spot on the back patio at The Rebel House. After we went for dessert at My Favourite Ice Cream. (All of the following were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens, except for the last photo of Rebecca eating ice cream, which was shot with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

Dramatic B & W Photo Challenge

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Canon, Children, family photographer, family photography, lenses, photographer, Toronto — Holly @ 5:26 pm

One of my fave family photographers, Tara Whitney, is the Guest Photography Judge at iheartfaces.blogspot.com for this week’s photo challenge theme, which is “Dramatic B & W”. Other then being a black & white image, the only other criteria (besides being ‘Dramatic’) is that the image contain a human face, so I hope this image fits the bill!

I captured this image back in 2007 with my first Canon SLR, the 30D. I have since upgraded, first to the Canon 5D and then to the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV. This image was shot with the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens, which does a fabulous job of showing amazing detail in portraits. I have this image framed in my bedroom, and also printed as a 20×20 metallic print, which is one of the samples I show at the in-person proofing meeting.

I debated entering with this image, but wasn’t sure there was enough ‘face’. The second image in this blog posting, of my daughter Rebecca, is also a favourite…alas, I can only enter one, so this is it! 🙂

This shot of Baked Blueberry French Toast is probably one of my all time favourite food shots, as it looks just as delicious as it tasted! I’ve already made this at home for the kids and I. Super easy to prepare it the night before, then you just have to pop it in the oven when meal time arrives! Yum!
