the world is a funny place....


Creativity is about the lens we choose to see the world through. It is not about the talent that a person may or may not possess. It is about how we express ourselves and our reactions to funny and interesting things.


I think as we get older we tend to forget about "play", "fun" and "creativity" because we think that if something isn't "good" or "perfect" it is not worth doing. As adults I think we have a lot to learn from kids!


I have decided that I am going to make this theme a recurring one on my blog as a reminder about how we are constantly surrounded by funny, creative and interesting people, places and things. It is also a great reminder to always carry a camera...even if it is a little point & shoot! You just never know....

the naked truth...

I love the high that you get after coming off of a fantastic shoot! The feeling of knowing you have some great shots that you just can't wait to get home and process. That was me on Wednesday night...


I often get asked...why nudes? Without hesitation people can tell you the parts of their bodies that they dislike (myself included). Rarely, do individuals get an opportunity to highlight the aspects of their bodies that they love. For me, nude photography is about empowerment and the celebration of the beauty that is the human landscape.


It is about grabbing the audiences attention through light & shadows to making them smile, think, dream and simply take pleasure in the image. It is about connecting the body & mind and telling a story.


It is about tastefully going beyond the naked body and finding inspiration in the sensual, the sexual and the mystery. Whether the photos are shared to the world or just for the individual, shooting artistic nudes allows for the opportunity to co-create an intimate & empowering moment...an opportunity to redefine true beauty!

friends, photography & a park...


















If you are going to be stuck in the city for the long weekend, no better way to spend a gorgeous day than outside at High Park with some friends and a camera.








I can't quite put my finger on it, but the more I look at this last image, the more I like it. More to come as I process some of Louise's pic's!
