A Québécois winter
I think it's safe to write about winter now that April is nearly over. But I could be wrong - living in Québec City, I've seen more winter than any other place I've lived. And I loved it.
Besides walking in the evenings while the snow fell heavily, I spent a good amount of time snowboarding (Mont Ste Anne, Le Massif, Tremblant) which had become rare for me in the last years having lived in Ontario and Nova Scotia. I spent a some evenings taking turns around a nearby speed-skating oval. I'm no pro but the speed makes me grin, every time.
This winter my guest book welcomed several signatures, my wool socks got well-used (and soaked at times), my small emergency car-shovel nearly busted under duress, my personal knowledge of poutine expanded, and my kettle became a constant companion.
Here, some photos:

New year, new nephew
January brought the snowstorms, power-outage-induced campfires, familial annual feasting, and fun firsts in the realm of renovations but most anticipated: a new baby nephew.
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.

Portraits are always best taken outdoors.
This series was taken in Kensington Market, on a cool winter morning. Sarah is a PR student who is ready to graduate this spring. Check out her blog here.
One quarter Nova Scotian
I took a trip last week to Nova Scotia, one of the nicest places on the East coast of Canada. Every day brought a different fish to eat and a new reason to pull on my Blundstones.
Boiled down to five words, my week was: wind, wool, blizzard warnings, warmth, and Frenchy's.
These photographs were taken in Deep Brook, Point Prim, Mavillette Beach and Jordan Bay.
