We'll start off with the Hemlock tree that not only looks like it belongs in Mordor, but provided pretty good shelter from the rain.

10 years & more to go...
Although we had to seek shelter from a rain shower (the storm had a bigger bark than bite) this delay couldn't stop our shoot. The fresh rain on the boardwalk actually improved the lighting and we were able to play with the fresh reflections that the puddles provided. Even the sun eventually came out to greet us. Congratulations Nanci and Steve on celebrating your 10 year wedding anniversary and I wish for many more happy years to come for the two of you!!

This shot was used by Jerry Leger (www.jerryleger.com) for his posters/advertisement on his recent US tour through both the Carolinas and Tennessee in support of his new record, You, Me and the Horse.
From Jerry's site:
"Leger’s newest record, You, Me and the Horse, was recorded in two sessions in Toronto, production being handled by Skydiggers co-founder, Josh Finlayson, and Tim Bovaconti. Partially inspired by the musical arrangements on Gordon Lightfoot’s first two albums, You, Me and the Horse is a stripped down affair, most tracks featuring Leger strumming away on acoustic guitar or playing block chord piano.
A story teller at heart, Leger writes songs that interrogate the trials, tribulations, stories and emotions that are part and parcel of everyday life. As an album You, Me and the Horse deals with such perennial themes as love, hate, folklore and matters of the spirit, most of the lyrics inspired by personal experiences, bits of conversation Leger overheard on the street or a subway car, newspapers and/or things he has observed in his travels. For example, the lyric of the CD’s opening track, “Round Walls,” came about due to a chance encounter with an elderly woman who told Leger that her Daddy always said that “the devil can’t corner you and take your soul in a round room.” “Daddy’s Lantern” is a true ghost story that has been passed down by generations and told to Jerry by some of the family members. “Mansion Round the Bend” with its line "under Sudbury stars it don't matter where we stand, we'll see our mansion round the bend", is a gorgeous love song with the mansion serving as a symbol of what the two protagonists share.
Taken together, the eleven songs on You, Me and the Horse are rife with wonderfully crafted melodies, evocative lyrics and the spirit and energy of a young songwriter discovering his voice and honing his craft. The net result is a wonderfully refreshing tonic in troubling times."

The award for dramatic cuteness goes to...
A random encounter at the park after wrapping up the farrier shoot www.drewperkinsphotography.blogspot.com/2008/10/day-in-life-of-farrier_16.html led to a great excuse of a portrait session to hang out with Sarah and Jay for the day. I'm so happy to have re-connected, again. Four years have passed since our paths last crossed but besides the addition of two beautiful boys to the family, it's feels like time truly hasn't passed!
If I could hand out an award for dramatic cuteness, this would definitely be one. For the record, wardrobe was managed by Liam. I'm truly inspired and excited for Halloween this year!

We are family
A collection of all things family. Little ones, moms, dads, sisters and brothers. From a time period over the past 10 months.
Walk in the park
Thanksgiving Monday was the perfect day for a walk in the park with Dewlyn and her family with a photoshoot in mind! The weather was exceptionally nice making it feel more like a summer day than a Canadian autumn. First stop was the roof of Dewlyn's condo. The classic Toronto cityscape for a backdrop was too tempting not to use. Not to mention, Patches the family dog had lots of room to strut for the camera. After a few quick formals on a couch, we drove over to Brick Works (http://www.evergreen.ca/rethinkspace/) for a walk around the park (the former quarry). Thanks for the great afternoon guys, here's the harvest of our hard work!
