Such a lovely shoot with such a lovely local talen

Such a lovely shoot with such a lovely local talent @stonefigures Photographing artists is definitely a favourite for me. Having had the opportunity to get to know interesting folks such as Elise and her hubby Cirvan, has been a definite highlight of the path I have been on for the past while. Elise carves prolifically, with her pieces ranging from teeny tiny forms to larger than life sculpture. There are a few of her larger pieces throughout the community (and the province and the country), having had her share of nice private commissions. Check her out! She and Cirvan have a charming gallery featuring Elise’s sumptuous sculptures and Cirvan’s gorgeous furniture. The gallery and workshop space are on the property where they live, just outside of Dorset. They have embraced life there, with their children (now grown), dogs, chickens, many gardens and this year - vineyards! Amazing people all around us.

Summer weddings are right around the corner. They may look a little different these days, but I am so good with different. Kinda like this groom and his best man, looking so handsome for the fish, on the docks at the beautiful @portcunningtonlodge .
Fortunately Mitch reeled in his soon to be bride, Jen, long before this moment, and a pandemic would not stop them from officially tying the knot and becoming husband and wife. FYI - no fish were harmed in the making of this photo.

The weather today makes it feel like summer is right around the corner....which I suppose it is. And that means dining al fresco with locally grown, freshly picked ingredients. That’s something to be excited about, no?!!?

It might be the movement, the light or the love, but whatever it is that strikes me, I will say that I really love this image of sisters on wedding day. I also admit my love for the gorgeous and unusual bridesmaid dresses Katlyn chose for her girls. So fresh for a spring wedding! Not to mention super (super!) cute - almost as cute as the way Kim is clutching the veil for her sister as they trudge along the damp spring shoreline to get to the dock. Troopers for sure. And sweet as pie. What colours would you chose for your girls at a spring wedding?

Hooray it’s Friday! Although I wonder if Friday

Hooray it’s Friday! Although I wonder if Friday has less meaning these days. One thing is for sure...weddings are still as meaningful as ever. Perhaps even more so as couples adjust plans and create simple weddings days that include only the most important people. So many difficult decisions for these couples...but thankfully their choice to get married was (most likely), not one of them. Looking forward to some intimate Muskoka weddings this year with some lovely couples.

Back to the grind, so to speak. Photography sessi

Back to the grind, so to speak. Photography sessions are trickling in at long last. Typically this time of year consists mainly of commercial work. A day spent with Jo-Anne of Jo-Anne McCarthy Interiors took me to some lovely properties with fresh, clean design and staging. With constantly varied subjects in the world of commercial photography, I find I am consistently challenged and never grow tired of this sector of work. It’s probably time you got that updated professional portrait or some new social and web content, no?

I LOVE @beebagz ! And not only because they are a fabulous commercial photography client, but also (mostly) because their products are nothing short of awesome. If you have never tried these bags and wraps (and now they do fire starters from scraps, too!), I highly recommend giving them a whirl. It is also worth mentioning their passion for the environment and their contribution to helping create a society with less plastic waste. With that in mind, they recently launched a line of fire starters which put to use the scraps and imperfect bags. The wrap, pictured here, is also a line which is able to use bags that aren’t perfect. Although the bags are completely biodegradable, so even if other uses weren’t conceptualized, unused bags would create little impact on the environment. Way to go, BEEBAGZ. Such a great little local company!

I was exhausted, my hands bloody and torn from all

I was exhausted, my hands bloody and torn from all the gymnastics, and it wasn’t a very pretty clean but 21.4 is done! (Although only just barely managing the 137 lbs on my bar during this complex). And that’s another CrossFit Open in the books! My very first week of CrossFit classes introduced me to The Open - four years ago. Prior to going in for a class I had been a real CrossFit nay sayer. I had no real reasons for my disdain for CrossFit - I don’t know why I was so down on it....both my sisters loved it, and it was taking the world by storm. But now a few years later I have my Level One Coaching under my belt, I love coaching the amazing athletes we have and I can barley bring myself to even take a day of rest. But Why??!? Many people ask! The reasons are endless. Maybe it’s the awesome family we have there, the community and camaraderie, the high fives and cheering (and occasional ribbing). Or maybe it’s the way it makes me feel like a badass. Maybe it’s the attentive and careful coaching we get from @mitch_friend or maybe it’s the stimulation from learning new things. Maybe it’s because of the great strength I have gained or the overall improvement in my fitness that I have seen. It’s for sure each of these things but more than all of that I do it for me. To challenge myself to do things I never thought I could. To compete with myself every day, record metrics and see quantifiable results. I’ve never been one to brag about CrossFit or even initiate conversation about it....because before I was hooked I found that constant chatter rather annoying (ie: you meet a vegan who CrossFits - what do they talk about first?). But now I am saying it loud and clear .... if you have never, if you thought you could never, now is the time. You are never too old, too unfit, too overweight, too busy....or any other excuse. The time is now to make the time for you. First class is always FREE!!! You won’t regret it. Ya. It’s hard. But it’s supposed to be. If it was easy everyone would do it (then we’d have trouble keeping our social distance).
