Out & About, Catch-Up Blog Posting: Toronto Family Photographer

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:

Gordon the dog

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)

Kris, Tim & Max: Toronto Newborn Photography

You may remember Kris and Tim’s maternity shoot, well their beautiful son Max has arrived! We met up at a downtown hotel for the shoot.

Kris Tim  Max

When I first arrived, Kris was downstairs having her hair done, so dad Tim kept Max happy, as Phoebe supervised. The shoulder shot was when we went downstairs to see Kris, as Max was hungry! I adore that shot, reminds me of when my children were babies, so adorable! Enjoy it while you can Kris and Tim, they grow fast! 🙂

Awww, isn’t he just the sweetest?

Baby Max

Captured a BIG yawn after a feeding, then just hanging out. Max made this shoot easy!

We finished up with some group shots. Thank you Kris and Tim (and Max!) for another wonderful shoot!

More of Finnegan & a Birthday Celebration: Toronto Pet & Family Photography

My family was coming over to celebrate Noah’s birthday, so Finnegan came along too!

Finnegan at the window, you can really see his beautiful blue eyes, which are just like his half-sister Alice’s:

Alice was keeping a close eye on Finn, and Finn was keeping an eye on Alice as well:

Finn loves Alice’s toy, much more so then Alice does actually!

Snow Day: Toronto Family Photographer

Yea! Snow day in Toronto! There hasn’t been a snow day in Toronto since 1999, Rebecca wasn’t even in school then! So my kids made the most of it, inviting friends over for a snowball fight! It was the girls against the boys, here’s how it played out:

Noah arms himself with snowballs, ready to attack:

Rebecca came forward to negotiate the terms on the snowball fight, they decided that the winner would be whomever took the other’s fort. Then the girls approached, and the fight began!

The girls quickly retreated to their corner, and just as quickly retreated from their corner, the boys won!

Back to the house we went for hot chocolate, rice krispies squares and xbox kinect. And that was the end of their snow day, hope they enjoyed it as it could be years before they have another one!
