48 hours in Tremblant
I happily accepted a quickie press trip to Tremblant, not because I ski, but because they were offering to show off all the non-skiing options at the resort; many I’d never done before. In a day and a half I went dogsledding, ice climbing and snowshoeing, all for the first time and loved every minute of it.
(Photos of me with the dogs, courtesy of Expedition Wolf; photos of me climbing taken on my phone by fellow climber Liz Bruckner. I didn’t want to risk damage to my dSLR, so all photos, with the exception of those taken by the folks at EW, were shot with a Nokia N8.)
Federica
Travel editor extraordinaire! Fed asked for some new headshots for the magazine she edits, so here’s a small sampling. Of course, I couldn’t resist working on an outtake as well (at bottom).
Gift certificates!
I’m pleased to now offer gift certificates for portrait sessions!
Family portrait sessions start at $200 and include: one hour of photography at a location of their choice, 30 colour-corrected digital images on a CD and one 8×10 print of their choosing.
Other packages are available as well.
The Biloskis
Twins! I photographed Félix and Aurélie when they were tiny little babies — just seven weeks old. But now the happy munchkins are almost 18 months old.
That was then. This, below, is now, with mama et papa, Genevieve and Ron.
Two-year-old torque
You’ve got to be fast to keep up with a two-year-old, especially this guy: Quinton, and his parents, Karen and Steve.
Ladies who shoot their lunch
Earlier this week I went on a two-day jaunt to a farm near Thornbury, Ont., courtesy of the team behind the Canadian launch of the Australian wine label Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch (got that?). The goal, of course, was to shoot our lunch, then skin, clean, cook and eat it. Alas, the birds outwitted us, but we enjoyed a beautiful, crisp fall morning, and some frozen ducks who’d met their demise earlier.
I’m not a hunting advocate, but after this trip, I see the merit in it for sustenance purposes. You don’t get much more locavore than heading down to the local pond for lunch. And waste is minimized as well, no packaging and everything that’s not eaten is compostable.
Ryan, Marie, Antoine & Louise
And we can’t forget the special appearance by Paulette, the cat. Honoured to take family portraits for my friends during a visit to Montreal. Lesson: Two-year-olds don’t stop moving!
Crystal and Paul
Crystal almost ran down the aisle, she was so excited to get married. A beautiful wedding on a gorgeous summer day in the Distillery District.
Lindsay and Dave
These two got married in a hidden gem downtown, The Berkeley’s Field House.
Michael and Anne
I’ve retired from photographing weddings, but can’t resist posting photos from them, particularly because no one’s seen images from the ones I shot this summer. These are my good friends, and I was honoured to be part of their day.
