Ontario Photographers Meet-Up {Toronto Photographer}

Posted on July 25, 2010

In May I had the privilege of meeting a fantastic group of talented female photographers from all over Southern Ontario. It was a super hot day on the May long weekend but it was so fun to be back at my alma mater, University of Toronto, and photographing outside of Hart House brought back so many good memories. I loved studying at UofT and Victoria College and had a ton of fun when I attended there. We had some wonderful models who were real troopers to come downtown on the long weekend and have 10-15 cameras clicking in their face at the same time – serious mamarazzi! After we were done at University of Toronto we headed down to the distillery district for a maternity session.

Thanks for coming models and photographers!

Even the cab drivers were wondering what the heck was going on…

Cutest Kid Second Place Winner! {Mississauga Photographer}

Posted on July 12, 2010

The little girl is actually the second place winner, but I had some fun photographing her brother today too. We were supposed to have the session at a beautiful park but got rained out at the last minute.
