- Last week Friday there was a light drizzle of rain in the air as I put my suitcase on the bus. It was my last few minutes standing in the Spanish countryside. I looked one more time to my left, out towards the hotel and the snow capped mountains. That was when I saw something that solidified this experience as truly[...]

Chantal Kreviazuk’s version of “Leaving On A Jet Plane” from the Armageddon movie soundtrack has been playing on repeat in my head all morning. Although unlike the lyrics in the song, my bags are not yet packed, I’m doing that tonight. Tomorrow (Valentine’s Day) I am getting on a plane and traveling to Spain, whe[...]

- My favourite season is Fall. I'm inspired by the bright yellows, burnt orange and vibrant reds seen on bushes, weeds and trees this time of year. I love walking through piles of crunchy leaves after they've fallen from their summertime homes high up in the treetops. I also love pumpkins, apple pie, Halloween costumes a[...]

- A month ago I borrowed a friends Canon 5D Mark II and spent a weekend doing tests to compare it's quality to my Nikon. I really enjoyed the camera and was happy to have an interesting cottage full of lots of character, textures and nicknacks to test the camera with. I also captured some end of summer diving board fun. [...]

Tulips are in bloom, the days are getting longer and Spring has arrived. Yet somehow I can't stop wishing that Winter was still here. Maybe I feel like that because we didn't get enough snow this year, or because I didn't get a chance to snowboard or break in my new snowshoes. I did have an oppourtunity to visit a v[...]

In January while carpooling with family on our way home from an event, we drove through the Niagara Falls area. My sister had mentioned that Niagara Falls often has a beautiful neon lights display at that time of year and we took a little detour. She wasn't kidding, the lighting display was creative and impressive. Man[...]

In October I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of a very good friend of ours. My husband and I made it a little weekend getaway and enjoyed visiting with friends and seeing the sights in Ottawa. It was a beautiful, sunny and unseasonably warm weekend. We enjoyed roaming the shops in the Byward Market, had so[...]

Last September my husband and I were visiting family in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We took a day trip out to the Lawrencetown area and spent an afternoon at a place called Conrads Beach. It was a beautiful and magical afternoon.
It was warm, sunny and breezy when we arrived at Conrads Beach. The colours of the grasses[...]

- It's such a rainy and gloomy winter day today, so I decided to take a look through my photos of sunny places I've recently visited. I can't believe that I haven't shared these yet!
Last September my husband and I traveled to Halifax and got the oppourtunity to spend a day in a cute old town named Lunenburg. The orig[...]

This September I was visiting some family in Halifax, NS and had the privilege of meeting and photographing this super fun family!
Grayson was only 11 weeks old at the time and he was amazing. I couldn't believe how well he held up his head and posed for the camera. He also had the best facial expressions.
I hope I[...]

Every year the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) comes to Toronto and for many people it signifies the end of the summer. It's always open the for the week or two before all the kids return to school. I look forward to it for it's bright colours, interesting food, exciting rides and overall festival feel.
This year[...]

This is the final posting for Doors Open Toronto 2010. The last stop of my Doors Open day was at the Redpath Sugary Refinery. It's where I learned the difference between white sugar & brown sugar (they are both white sugar, only the brown sugar is mixed with a bit of molasses). I also learned a lot about the dif[...]
