Styled Shoot: Black & White Party

I'm extra delayed with sharing these photos but they're worth the wait! Last December Lisa Ho and I got together to create a black, white and gold themed party. The premise being a birthday type party centered around desserts, champagne and a jewelry bar. Lisa came up with so many beautiful details that photographing it was incredibly easy! After the photos were all said and done we got to indulge in all those treats too (the best type of job perks!)

Toronto Engagement: Lisa + Gabe (Part Two)

A while back I shared one location from the engagement session I had with Lisa and Gabe and today I'm excited to share the rest. The session consisted of a "day in the life" where I photographed the couple doing things that they would normally do on the weekend. We started in their condo documenting a typical morning with them having coffees, reading the paper and munching on a charcuterie board. After that we went to the park where Gabe had proposed to Lisa, then to Ruby Eats for a grocery shop and topped it off with a cupcake and macaron at Bobbette and Belle bakery. These two had a blast all day and were such a joy to photograph.

Toronto Portrait Session: Lindsay

I first met Lindsay about three years ago when we worked together at an agency. We've both since left and pursued new careers though so it's a strange thing seeing someone everyday for three years and then not seeing them at all! But a couple months ago Lindsay contacted me to ask if I would photograph some portraits of her for a lifestyle blog she started. We met up in the Kensington area and in true Canadian weather fashion, it went from mild to freezing!!! I can't complain too much though - those grey skies made for such beautiful lighting and skin tones in these photos. Lindsay was such a trooper too and embraced the cold in a few sleeveless tops! It was an eventful day dodging cars while trying to get the shot in the middle of the street, jumping into a nearby hospital to use the washroom to change outfits and then warming up in Jimmy's with coffees. Her blog is called Champagne Dreams which features lifestyle trends and fashion in Toronto and I highly recommend you check it out.
