My first ever camera! My Mom recently gave this to me; it's now appropriately displayed on the fireplace in office. Good ol' Fisher Price toys -they last forever.It's funny though, no matter what I point it at, it still only takes pictures from a trip to the zoo in 1973. I don't even remember the sea lions, but I bet they were great. Oh well, I was only 2 at that time. Of course, my name is on my camera -Mark had one just like it and you wouldn't want them to get mixed up. Read Full Story

I present to you, one of the rarest of all urban dwellers - the cooperative two year old!  Yes, although illusive, they do exist!  Well, not quite two -he celebrated his birthday the day after our shoot.  Happy Birthday!  I have to admit, when I hear I'm shooting a two year old, I go in prepared for anything!   No need to worry, Mr. S was polite, interested in everything, and excited to see me.  He even called me by name repeatedly long after our introducti...

  Had the pleasure of meeting this family; friends of a friend, in Oakville at the storybook-worthy Gairloch Gardens.  A very open and loving group; fun, hip, appreciative -a dream!  Miss A was camera ready the entire time -both posing easily or playing and interacting with her family very naturally.  Did I mention they were a dream? I'll let you in on a little secret; if I tell you I'm just going off to scout out a different shooting location -I'm probably still... Read Full Story

If you visit Montreal, you'll miss a lot if you forget to look up. Even if it's raining. Or if it's *just* apartments. You'll miss the most interesting things -even if you're not quite sure what you're looking at. Read Full Story

  Introducing, future Bride & Groom, L & B.  When I mentioned an old barn I've been wanting to try shooting at for a while, they were all up for it.  They proved they were quite the troopers when we actually got there & had a bit of a field of soybeans to wade through.  It was all worth it -check them out! Can you feel the Love?    The amazing interior.  Took a while to figure out how to get up into the loft, but we persevered -again, worth ... Read Full Story

We interrupt the stream of Montreal tourist images to bring you the lovely belly bump (and the rest of her beautiful self) of A.  I was so pleased to shoot A down at Cherry Beach in Toronto -a little bit of beach, a cool life guard building, and a bit of forest to boot!  Thank you A for being so cooperative for us on this particularly muggy August day, and keeping your sense of humour during this long shoot!  I think it was all totally worth it.

Have you ever taken a vacation alone?  I for one never thought I'd have the opportunity, but at my husband's urging I finally did it.  He & my son were going to spend a week at the family cottage, so he suggested I take a little trip on my own to stave off the inevitable boredom I would experience in their absence -not that I wouldn't find something here or there around the house to do... I took it as a challenge and booked a very reasonable, last minute air & hotel package... Read Full Story

  Took me a while to figure out there was a nest hiding in amongst my grapevines, but once I did, look what I found!  Baby robins! Just a couple of days old here I think.  I shot these precariously from a ladder, but really wish I had a taller ladder to really get in there. The nest becoming very crowded -you can't tell, but the dominant baby is sitting on his two siblings. Day 8. First robin to leave the nest! About 10 days old -can you believe it?? There's Momma Robin up ... Read Full Story

Fries under the Bridge -get it?  Fries shot under the Bluewater Bridge??  If you're from Sarnia, or anywhere around there, you will know exactly what I mean.  There is nothing -and I mean nothing, like the local fresh cut fries, liberally sprayed (yes, sprayed -it's a Sarnia thing) with vinegar, a generous sprinkle of salt, and gobs of ketchup to fill in the holes.  Yummm! I recently took my son for his first visit to my hometown of Sarnia, aptly named "Bluewat... Read Full Story
