When a family wants ‘informal’ family portrait

When a family wants ‘informal’ family portraits, (and the session begins with corking champagne), I am a happy photographer! Real smiles. Real life. Real love.

20 years ago I met the man of my dreams. 14 years ago we gave each other wedding rings. I do. I do. September 2. #bestdayever So many amazing moments since then. So much growth. And more love with each passing day. I would do it all over again and again. Love this man.
This is life. This is love. We are the lucky ones.

She said YES! Shannon thought she was just going for a golf lesson....Ben had something more in mind. After the big moment, some face timing, a few hugs + bubbly, the newly engaged couple went to the cottage for a quick wardrobe change. So many wonderful photographs from that perfect summer day on @bigwinisland ! What a great job I have. So lucky to witness so much love time and time again.

Here’s hoping you are able to conquer any challenges today might throw at you. It has been said that a life without challenges is a wasted life (Minh Tan).

FYI, it took the team work of a few bridesmaids to conquer this cork...

I first photographed this gorgeous family in 2004.

I first photographed this gorgeous family in 2004. Then again in 2006, and we had our third session just two weeks ago (2006 + now pictured here). How amazing to see the boys now, as handsome young men, not to mention how ageless their parents are! I am so fortunate to have been able to capture numerous families over the years as they grow together, witnessing the light of time that has shone on them. Such a treat to see everyone still laughing and smiling and loving one another. It is also amazing to see how I have grown as a photographer. And so I carry on, inspiring memories for those walks down memory lane.

Cinnamon Raisin Bun cookies! Oh yes. Brown butter

Cinnamon Raisin Bun cookies! Oh yes. Brown butter vanilla cookie dough base, studded with soaked raisins + cinnamon crunch. Stuffed with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, topped with cinnamon + vanilla glazes, finished with cinnamon sugar, butter baked graham cracker crunch. This cookie is 4 inches around and 1 inch high. It weighs about 6 oz. You might say - I couldn’t possibly eat it all, but I assure you that you will not be able to stop yourself after your first bite. Macros? Possibly too many to count. Hahaha. But really. Who cares??!! Is there any love in these cookies...? Hell ya.

I am a photographer. That being said, when I was younger I had dreams of being a skilled painter. It turned out that wasn’t my calling, but from time to time I pick up a brush and create backgrounds to photograph for my slide sandwiches. This one, titled Heirloom, has such a brilliant painterly quality about it, but it also makes me think of the fall - which in turn makes me realize that summer is once again slipping away. Soak up that sun today!

Wedding day happiness! So much love on wedding day

Wedding day happiness! So much love on wedding day. There are so many beautiful moments such as this one, when friends or family are united in celebration of love and relationships. Probably one of the many reasons I love weddings so darn much.

Island Glow. I made the foundational photograph of this island on a gloomy day on Georgian Bay, but it has been said that it is an artist’s job to create sunshine when the sun fails....so I did just that. Another delicious and filling, but calorie free, slide sandwich to start your day!

Warm summer evenings are best enjoyed on the water. The foundation for this image is another fleeting moment captured on Georgian Bay, which I then later paired with a macro shot of a granite texture in addition to a slide of painted textured paper. Another tasty + calorie free slide sandwich for you at the end of another hot day.

Beyond the physical beauty of trees, perhaps I am

Beyond the physical beauty of trees, perhaps I am a dendrophile because trees don’t care. Trees grow to whatever shape suits the light, suits the winds and whatever suits itself. And when we see a tree growing differently from the others, we do not make fun of the tree, we do not call a tree fat or ugly or skinny. And when a tree does not grow for us, we do not blame the tree...rather we look for reasons the tree will not grow and try to help it grow. Does it need more light, more water or more nutrients... ? These, just simple metaphors, but worth remembering. -

These words and thoughts are expanded and adapted from several souls more brilliant than I. -

Another gorgeous moment on #georgianbay This scrumptious #slidesandwich has three layers of film creating the final image. Titled Epoch Echo, I love the water in the foreground of this piece, not to mention the colours the paint slide added, and the lovely texture added by the macro shot of granite. The combinations for slide sandwiches seem rather endless. If only moments such as this were endless as well. Hmmm. But maybe then my profession would lose its value: every fleeting moment that exists today, can live forever in a photograph -
