A few favourites from a recent family shoot. What a beautiful family! We started at the kids school yard playground, moved to the belt line for some photos, and then finished with ice cream, fun, fun, fun!
The whole family:
Brother and sister, adorable!
Mom and dad:
Love these moments I captured:
(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 & Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens)
Love and romance in Kensington Market this Valentine’s Day with my couple photography shoot of Coby & Ashley.
(Equipment Used: Images where shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 5D, Canon 85 f1.2L lens, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and the Lensbaby Composer.)
What a fun neighbourhood for a couple shoot (or a family shoot!), lots of colour, and interesting backdrops.
Love this natural moment I caught of Coby and Ashley on the bench, and the wonderful graffiti & fabric (hanging outside) that made for such colourful backgrounds:
Had to share this whole series, cool locale, and wonderful interaction:
Every time I turned around it seemed I found another interesting backdrop! At the end of the shoot, we jumped on a streetcar, did some shots while riding, and then used the streetcar as a backdrop, so Toronto!
Decided that the images just called out for some texture, love how in this example it adds more depth and interest to the background:
Lensbaby shot, colour graphic wall, texture added in PhotoShop:
Went all out on this one, love the worn, vintage feel:
Thank you for the fun afternoon in Kensington Market, Coby & Ashley!

Project Love is officially launched! This project was inspired by the love that I witnessed between Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi in their wedding video.
Part of the dream is to travel to L.A. to photograph Ellen and Portia for their upcoming wedding anniversary on August 16th. (If you are on twitter, please send an @ message to theellenshow to let them know about this project! twitter.com/theellenshow)
Noah, Rebecca and I are fans of both The Ellen Show and Portia’s new show, ‘Better Off Ted’. Noah is especially enthusiastic, and created a wonderful poster for Project Love, which you can see in the following youtube video:
The local dream is to celebrate Love in Toronto by holding a contest in which the winner will have a complimentary photography session with me.
Here’s how to enter: email me a jpg photograph of who you love and why you would love to win the photography session. See below for further details/requirements*. If I can get Ellen’s attention, perhaps she will help with the judging! Otherwise I will be announcing local judges soon.
