Some Silly and Some Serious

My son, being silly.



My daughter, being serious.

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.





High contrast light=high contrast bw!



Playing with the Lensbaby.





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

More of Malini!

Thank you again Malini for letting me photograph you! I will send you a link to your gallery soon! (Part one is located here, and the newborn photos are here and here.)


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




Shot with the lensbaby.






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!

Malini

A neighbour was generous enough to let me take some maternity photos of her for my portfolio, thanks Malini! I hope you like them! (More of Malini here, and the newborn photos are here and here.)

One More From the Series...with a little texture

Texture, and blur, a shot from above.

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.

Kate's Son

Boy, the girls are going to be after him one day! What a head of hair! ;-)

Soccer Night

A few images from soccer last night.

Mini-Me

This cute, cute baby was named mini-me by my daughter as they share the same name. What a beautiful baby!

Beautiful Girl...

This, adorable girl, was in my local park a few weeks ago. Her mother gave me permission to photograph her, and I really hope she emails me so I can send her a few jpgs.

Some More Examples

Oh, I love this one, the texture, the colour and the edge effect, definitely one of my favorites.



This gives a great look to bw photos...vintage.


Gives an interesting texture and blur to the background.


Another one of my favorites...but thinking I may desaturate a little bit more....
