I don’t talk about it often, but my hometown is in Sudbury, ON. Sometimes, I’m lucky to encounter one of my own, someone who like me left their small town to move to the big city. They get me, and it’s kinda like coming home. I felt this way, with this little lady’s mama. She […]

At home with Mr. A
I met Meetu and Puleen when their son was a newborn. He was 3 weeks old, a little older than the average newborn I photograph. Still, we got some great photos and had some good laughs. Including a few out-takes like this one: I was so pleased to come back and see this little guy […]
I’m only smiling because there’s chocolate waiting ~ Toronto Family Photographer
When I met this lovely family for the first time, I was excitedly greeted by little Miss C who showed me her dress and some of her great toys. She was so amazingly cooperative, I couldn’t believe it. We whisked through some posed family portraits, and even got some great ones of her in her […]
Self-portrait
Every once in a while, I have to remind myself of how long I’ve had this love affair with photography. Every once in a while I have to stop and remind myself that even though I took a bit of a detour as a journalist (OK, a decade-long detour), it was always photography that called […]
Say I love you with a photo!
Valentine’s Day is the second most busiest time for retailers in the entire year. People buy all kinds of knick-knacks, jewelry, things that will make you fat candy and chocolate, things that will die flowers. And while it’s the thought that counts, why not do something a little different this year. Spend some money a […]

Priceless portraits
When I gave birth for the first time, I thought I would “try my best” to breastfeed. My son fully cooperated and I fell in love with the ease and comfort of nurturing my child naturally. What I couldn’t have anticipated was how passionate I would become about breastfeeding and about supporting mothers who choose […]
