A Kid in an Ice Cream Shop

It sometimes happens that I don't have my DSLR on hand to capture those picture perfect life moments... Or, in some cases, it would just be very inappropriate to pull it out.

Yesterday was one of those days - I took my favourite 5-year-old out for ice cream, and she was just too cute with her nose pressed up against the glass, trying to decide which topping would be the best!  My iPhone, with the PictureShow app subbed in, and I came up with this super sweet shot!








P.S. In case you were wondering - she chose vanilla with rainbow sprinkles!

Portraits - Marlena

On a random week in June, one of my Floridian BFF's came to visit me, and was happy to be my model as I thrust her into different locations and told her to say cheese!  Here's the result of those days:

Thanks for being a good sport, Marlena!  The rest of the pictures are right this way!

May 2011: Pittsburgh, PA

Back in May, I went on a road trip with my aunt & grandmother to visit some family in Pennsylvania.  While we were there, we went out to Pittsburgh (about 1 hour away from where we were) for the day to see a few of the sights.  This is what I saw:

More photos from my trip are right here.

Portraits: K&S - maternity session

This is probably the quickest I've ever turned around a photo session!  Mom-to-be, K, contacted me on a Tuesday, we shot the photos on Friday, and by Wednesday they had their photos in hand!  *Phew!*

I think it's mostly because K & her husband, S, were a breeze to work with.  Just look at these two - so happy and positively glowing with the impending arrival of their bundle of joy.  They asked for some simple shots, using nature as the backdrop, with no props or gimmicks.  I was happy to deliver:

While we were out shooting, we stumbled upon a lovely, big tree, that seemed to have a little surprise of it's own... ;)

K & S - I wish you all the best in the upcoming weeks!  

Vintage Cars

I'm a big fan of all things "retro".  If I could live in any era, I would definitely pick the 60s.  So when I learned that there would be a retro car show as part of a street festival in Toronto, I was all about bringing my camera out to capture their beauty.  Here are some of my favourites:
