It was a hot day in the city when we shot these. But Victoria stuck it out with me as we explored some lovely spaces in the downtown area. It's always an interesting experience shooting in very bustling populated areas, but I'm so pleased with what we captured!
Working with Karen was like working with an old friend. She was so cool about crawling and climbing amongst the trees to get the shot. I love revisiting a favourite location during different seasons. Always a fun challenge to get different and new results!
Shannon absolutely rocks a floral dress! So why not completely surround ourselves in flowers while we're at it? The rain held off for us while we captured these amazing colours. And it wouldn't be a shoot with me without climbing into the bush because "the ground looks so cool!"
It was absolutely frigid outside when we shot these, but you'd never know by Victoria's face! She braved the cold with me and was so cool about it (pun not intended). Shoutout to those who accompanied us out in the wind, including my other half who manned my lights!
It was a scorcher of a day when Rebecca and I shot these in Public Gardens. Out of all the pretty blossoms that were out, it was this draping purple tree that caught my eye the most. I played with angles a lot during this shoot, trying a few varieties of lighting. Big thanks to Rebecca for being such a good sport when I asked her to climb in the bushes!
Last July we took advantage of a gorgeous summer day to do some seaside shooting at Point Pleasant Park. I chose to make use of the natural light, and interesting textures of the beach and surrounding areas. Clayton graciously offered to stand for me as well, and was lovely to work with! Enjoy our results!
Earlier in the spring, Dominique was kind enough to climb into some greenery for me! She kept her composure despite the occasional awkward branch and uneven terrain. A big thanks goes out to her for bringing the smiles and laughs as we romped through nature, and parking lots alike in search of beautiful light.
It was such a pleasure to work with Stephanie again. This time around, she bravely agreed to step out of her comfort zone and try her hand at boudoir. I'd wanted to use the Alt Hotel for a while now, and the gorgeous room and pool served as a perfect backdrop. Props to Stephanie who was so patient when my lights stopped working! We powered through nonetheless, and worked with what we were given.
It was a beautiful, but blustery day at High Head Trail, and while the ocean provided a gorgeous backdrop, it was very chilly. But you would never know to look at Cassidy, who put on a brave face and rocked the looks we picked out for her. HUGE thanks goes out to her, her lovely mother Angela, and of course my other half for the assist with the lighting.
Having photogenic friends certainly has its perks when you're a photographer, and Nydia was no exception. She was kind enough to join me in studio, and flaunt it for the camera. I'd say she rocked it!
A couple weeks ago, Alexandra joined me in studio for some fabric throwing/dancing, and she killed it! She was also kind enough to let me try some new lighting setups with her! I owe a shoutout as well to Anna Marie, whom I met that day, and quickly jumped in and assisted in moving the fabric piece the way we wanted. Such a fun afternoon!
A few weeks ago, I scouted a small forest area behind my home, and this past April I was finally able to put it to use! Megan was so much fun to work with, and was very patient with me in my early exploration into boudoir photography. Definitely looking forward to shooting more like this in the future!
