The Real Mad Hatter
What a weekend! Full of visual stimulation! Started out with a ballet performance. Marie Chouinard is officially my favorite choreographer! Oscars! Of course! Alice in Wonderland before that on the IMAX and it was worth missing part of the Academy Awards for! It reminded me how much I love stories and fairytales. When I was [...]

Olympic Spirit
It only happens once in 4 years and is very very exciting to watch and I bet it million times more exciting to participate in! I remember the 1980 Olympics in Moscow when I was a little girl! Yes, I do have excellent memory, but the Olympics have a certain appeal to everyone, even the [...]

Young Love
I would have posted this yesterday on the real Valentine’s day, but the day belonged to my darling boyfriend!
This shoot was a creative I had been thinking about for a while. The idea shifted and changed until it shaped into a Valentine’s day card. I know a perfect little boy and a beautiful girl with [...]

Star Wars
With the long winter nights upon us there is more time to spend on research and visual stimulation, that’s what I call watching movies!
So I decided to revisit one of my favorite trilogies, now in six movies. Yes, I am talking about the Star Wars! It was my first time seeing the new movies and [...]

Sofia and Dorothea
Just one more nostalgic look back at this Summer before the snow starts coming down and we all hibernate. Nostalgic seems to be the word of the day for me today.
I had worked as a professional nanny in my previous lifetime. And I did enjoy it very much, I still think of all the kids [...]

Lazy Summer Weekends
There is nothing quite as good as a lazy summer weekend. Sand between your toes, sweaty glass in your hand and the sunset still hours away. It’s those moments you wish would never end that pass by way too quickly. That is why photography was invented, to capture those moments for all eternity, make them [...]

Girl that kicks ass!
Ah, I just love girls that kick ass! This is Angela, hair coloring master by day, amazing cake baker at night and a Muay Thai fighter by early morning! I love martial arts and admire the strength of will one has to have and the commitment necessary to master the art. I bugged her and [...]

Soccer City
I like sports. I can’t say soccer is on the top of my list, but I like it well enough! I mostly like it when hot soccer players pose topless in ads for perfumes, watches and such. Oh well they sold their soul to advertising! We get to see them showing off their ripped bods [...]

Superman Day!
What a great afternoon!
I was so sure it was going to pour all day! And then the clouds floated away and a clear blue sky was over our heads. The Sun dried up the grass for us to celebrate Superman Day!
Some came wearing T’s with Superman logo to show their love. And some came [...]

Ruffing it
Personally, I am a city girl. But my boyfriend is the exact opposite. He loves the woods, sleeping under the tent and fishing, watching sunsets over quiet lakes and the stars. I like all those things too, minus the mosquitoes, sore body from sleeping on hard ground, carrying heavy backpack or you know what in [...]

Horsing around again
Last weekend was such lovely weather! My boyfriend and I decided to go fishing for the afternoon.
Amazingly enough the fish were biting like crazy, but none of them was over 3 inches in size!
Oh, well, we fed plenty of them! The clouds were so dramatic, I had to bring my camera.
You can see the rest [...]

Superman Day
After the few months of me writing this blog, I think it is becoming pretty clear that I love dressing up, costumes, fashion, but most of all fun! Couple of months ago, I was doing research (code word for slacking off) when I discovered a neat little poster for Superman day. It was released in [...]

Day at Sarah’s cottage
I have to say, posting those bathing suit shots has been paying off. Finally sunshine! Last weekend was action packed and amazing. I got an invitation to spend a day at a friend’s cottage at a gorgeous lake in Ontario.
That kind of an invitation is very hard to resist. The drive was long and tiresome [...]

Summer yet?
It is amazing how much the weather and seasons affects our lives! We wait for 8 months for the sunshine and the heat, to be able to sit on the patio with a beer, do yoga in the park, camp outdoors, not just in the living room near the fireplace, because the hydro station in [...]

Mad Hatter
This is a two part story I worked on with my friend John. He showed me his work and I immediately thought of a way of photographing it. The hats have a very intriguing somewhat Victorian feel. I love the quality of the materials used and the shapes of the hats which John designs and [...]

At last! It took me a while, I am not a computer geek. But at last here is the video I have been trying so hard to figure out how to add to this blog. These were shot by my friend David Larraguibel while he was helping me with the photoshoot and at the art [...]

Giddy-up!
My original plan was to add some video to this blog. The video my friend David shot when he was helping me with photographing the Elvis’s and also the video he shot at my “I am Elvis” opening at the Gladstone Hotel. I am still trying to figure out how to do it and it [...]

Lucie Awards, the Oscars of photography
Monday night the 20th of October was one of the most exciting nights of my life. The build up for it was intense, but honestly I didn’t really have an idea how big of a deal I had gotten myself into until I went to New York and got to see it for myself. I [...]

Last chance to party!
Can you imagine growing up without Halloween? Wouldn’t that be just horrific? I confess I have never experinced one until I came to North America. But there was special time when we got to put on costumes. I am not talking about raiding my mom’s closet and putting on her crocheted dresses from the 70’s [...]
