Little Easton

What a pleasure to photograph three week old Easton.  It always amazes me how children so small have so many unique expressions.  One minute they look curious, next excited, sometimes bored but always interesting.  The love radiating around them from their proud new parents is heart warming and makes one feel blessed to be a small part in the child's early life.

Home For Holidays 2012

Each Christmas season I have the opportunity to capture the artistry and creativity of Mill Street Florist and their staff. The Home For Holidays tour to raise money for the Maycourt Hospice features unique homes decorated for the festive season by some of the top florists in the Nations Capital. Joanne Plummer managed to personify the great Canadian AY Jackson of the Group of Seven when she and her staff descended upon 1176 Highcroft Drive in Manotick.
The artist's home where much of his outstanding work capturing the raw beauty of nature had been created, was a delicate mixture of nature and clean modern lines. The owner, Irene Staron, of Staron Design brought the home into modern times. “All the decisions and all the choices were based on all the things that A.Y. loved about this property: the light, the surroundings, the sloping situation, the natural setting,” she says.
Mill Street Florist once again showed why they stand out among the best!

Fun To Share

For a number of years now, I have had the opportunity to teach portraiture for EPNet members along the eastern USA in the Fall.  Destinations of Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, New Hamphshire, Vermont, South Carolina and the Catskills in New York have provided priceless moments to meet new photographers from all over USA and Canada.   

This year in the Catskills at Frost Valley it was no different.  New participants from Colorado, Alabama and Connecticut connected with some great returning clients from New York and Connecticut. 

One of the aspects I enjoy the most is getting out "early" in the mornings before sessions start to capture some unique aspects of each area.
