St. George in a portrait

Om my drive back to Ontario from Nova Scotia, I stopped in to see some family in St. George and take their portrait. These photographs were taken in their front yard: The Atlantic Ocean. This portrait was easily the most scenic to date, and the subjects were great company.

Shuko + Krystian

Here are some of my favourites from a shoot last month.

We took the afternoon and explored Evergreen Brickworks deep in the heart of the Don Valley. Shuko is a pastry master and Krystian is an English teaching ninja. They are a great pair.

Before the summer's out...

Another year, another portrait. Quite possibly the largest group I've photographed, this family is a lot of fun to be with.

A trip to Ayiti

In March I took a trip to Haiti.

It is a place that I find difficult to describe, but easy to love.

Last portrait of the year.

2013 ended with a portrait shoot near Collingwood, ON. We trekked over to the neighbour's farm and used the foggy day to its fullest. I've known these people for a long time and it made me very happy to capture them all at once.

A new little person

Two of my good friends had a baby.

They're pretty happy about it.

Can't wait to watch you grow up, Cosette!

These faces.

I don't know a family that smiles more than this one.
It helps that we had just spent a weekend at the cottage, but there isn't much that keeps these faces from grinning.

A September cottage weekend

Now that it is September, the cottage takes on a slightly different role. In general, it means more pots of coffee, extra layers of plaid, bigger waves, freshly picked apples, and too-small wetsuits.

This past weekend, it also meant a friendly exchange of homemade goods: kimchi, kombucha, applesauce, chicken broth, granola and sourdough. A productive weekend.

Portrait by the lake

This family likes to smile - and it is contagious! This is the second (and hopefully not the last) portrait that I've taken of them.

Thank you, Jonah, Genevieve, Bella and baby Jacob for a happy evening by the lake.

Here are some of my favourites:
