S-Family Shoot (Sherwood Park)

Well, our original plan of doing a shoot at the Brickworks didn't work out (because of the Toronto Marathon and road closures), but I think we made out quite well at Sherwood Park instead! :-)

LOVE this shot of Spencer...so serious, so cute!

It was hard to choose between posting the colour or the bw version...colour won out!

I thought the expression on Spencer's face was just too cute...with his big brother in the back ground:

And last, but certainly not least, a picture of Mom:

Gold Fish Lensbaby

Since I was posting lensbaby shots I thought I'd post my favorite one so far...my son loves this photo! :-)

(YEAH!! Thank you Gordon for helping me figure out how to post my horizontal photos properly so they are not cut off on the right side!)

Window Light, High-Contrast, and Lensbaby—baby!

A couple of natural light portraits after his bath.

Loved the bokeh of the light playing on the door in the background...even though it probably pulls from the main subject....

I love this shot, and the bw version below, of Malini with her kitchen as the backdrop.

Even though this shot isn't as much in focus as I would have liked, I love the moment! Malini's son was so excited to be in a few of the photos...but he was moving fast! Just love the joy and laughter in his face!

Out & About on Yonge

Some shots taken later in the day, out and about on Yonge Street.









BW Version

BW version of the colour one below.

A Walk On Avenue Road

Some shots from today (except for one), out and about on a cool Sunday.



Loved the colours in the background, in this shot, so really boosted them.


High contrast BW with texture.


High contrast sepia.


This one is from the other day in the park, a mother after school. I couldn't resist the catch-lights in her eyes and asked if I could take her picture. Hopefully she'll like it!

Playing around making this one moody and dark since the eyes are so dark.
