Dana Ruprecht of Ashes of Roses and my beautiful wife asked me to take some relaxed portraits of her that she could use for an article that was being written about her in the Hamilton Spectator. Dana was the lead actress in a play called "Chapter Two" which just wrapped up at Theatre Burlington. The article was equal parts about Dana's history in acting and the role she was bringing to life in Chapter Two.
If you are interested in the article, it can be found here.
Cheers!

Good friends Steph and David are set to marry this summer and I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph their wedding. But before we get to that, last fall we got together one beautiful morning for some engagement/family photos in Gage Park in downtown Brampton. The ground was covered in leaves of every colour and the sun was peaking in and out of the big old trees that create a canopy over the park. Foster, Steph and David's son, had a blast playing about in the leaves.
Thank you so much to David, Steph and Foster for such a wonderful morning. You guys are just full of love and laughs and I know...

Presley was born to good friends Scott and Stacey earlier this year. If you remember, I did some pet photography for them of their first baby: Webber. Again, we had some fun posing Presley for the camera. I’ve gotta admit, baby photography is tough stuff. Lots of people have commented on the work I’ve done with Oliver and they've said: "we want exactly that." Well I'm really happy when all works out that way, like it did on this morning with Presley. She was a complete angel to photograph and I hope I get to work with her again sometime.
Cheers!

Remembering back not so long ago taking pictures of my then pregnant wife Dana, she had this wonderful radiating glow to her. I think it’s all part of the process for women: they are just bursting with all these emotions that they lend themselves to some really great photos. This was certainly the case when I photographed Angel. And it wasn't just Angel who was beaming this fine morning, it was the rest of her family too. The Massey-Singh's are some of the happiest people I know and it's an honour to have been able to spend a couple of hours with them making some photographs.
I hope you enjoy...

Anastasia and Grant have to be the sweetest couple I've ever met, and I've met a lot of sweet people in my lifetime! I have the distinct pleasure of photographing their wedding in August at The Old Mill in Toronto. But before we get there, Anastasia and Grant were looking for some engagement photos of them celebrating this most happy time in their lives. So, one Sunday in May, we headed down to Osgoode Hall in downtown Toronto to make some photographs. Grant is a lawyer so the buildings, not only with their historic significance, but their architectural beauty as well, hold a special place in Grant's...

A few weeks ago, I spent the morning with the Easthope family in downtown Brampton at Gage Park, enjoying the beautiful weather and taking some family portraits. This was a session that had been delayed twice because of unruly weather conditions and we were so happy to have a nice morning to shoot. When doing any portrait session outside, the weather can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. Mother Nature was the former on this day.
Below are some examples of the photos we took. If you or any of your friends/family/colleagues are looking for relaxed, candid portraits, please contact...

If you recall in a previous post, I shot Jill and Andrew's engagement photos here. The next session I had with them was the night before their wedding where Andrew's family was hosting a cookout for everyone. It was an afternoon filled with sun, food, fun and laughter. Both the Duling and Kunica families were very kind, sweet, and so very welcoming. I had a blast documenting the afternoon.
Below are some pictures from the event.

A Couple of Saturdays ago, I spent a few hours with Jill and Andrew to do an engagement session. I will be shooting their wedding on July 4th at Langdon Hall and couldn't be more excited to work with this couple again.
On this particular Saturday, we went down to Gairloch Gardens in Oakville Ontario to shoot on their beautiful grounds. We continued on the waterfront in downtown Oakville, enjoying the wonderful spring weather. We had a great time together, which I think you can see from the photos we made.
All the best to Jill and Andrew with their final preparations.

It seems like just yesterday I was posting some pictures of Oliver in his first couple days of life. Well, Oliver is now six months old and I'd thought it was time to post some new ones. Dana and I took Oliver to Gage Park for some fun under the trees and in the gazebo. Oliver was awesome during the entire shoot, content with just doing his own thing. I guess this is all second-hat to him as he's had a lens stuck in his face since birth!
Anyways, enjoy the pictures below.

Not too long ago, I was approached by friends Victoria and Mario to shoot their son Roman. Roman was born a week after Oliver and Vicky and Mario wanted some pictures to document his three month birthday. I spent some time getting to know Roman and by the end of the afternoon, he was brimming ear to ear for us.
Below are a couple examples of the many wonderful photos we made that day.
