While visiting the Tea Festival in Toronto I stumbled across a delightful vendor selling Chai Masala who had the most delicious samples. I couldn’t help myself and bought a bag of their blend and wasn’t disappointed. Chaiwala has one of the most unique and delicious Chai’s I have ever had. I HAD to use it…
For anyone who independently rents their equipment, you know the issues involved. Deposits, background checks, taking payment – the whole thing can be a pain in the butt. However, getting a third party to take care of the the dirty work makes renting your equipment as easy as pie. Check them out. See what they…
Something I have wanted to do for some time is work within the community of Newmarket. Shoot photos for shops, portraits for residents of the city, and enjoy the culinary offerings of my little town. On a recent project I was able to do just that. On a wonderful date day with my wife we…
Remember when the kids couldn’t move? Yeah, those days were over when these photos were taken. It seemed like Maxton could barely sit up and he was suddenly crawling all over the place. I remember it as ‘Panic induced safety proofing’. Ah, the good old days.
As part of the PanAm and ParaPanAm games, Panamania was a musical showcase of various artists throughout the regions the athletes were from. It was a regular concert series taking place at Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto, and a great idea too. Something Toronto should really consider as a regular event. People of many…
I had found this still image online a few days after the shoot, but didn’t think his positioning and lighting would work well for it, but after a few attempts I was finally able to get him stuck in, and even make it look as if he was holding Mike’s hand. That Mike, what a…
A few weekends back I had the privilege to go to the Berezowski family reunion with my wife’s family. It’s a regular event, and one I especially look forward to each year. Aside from the delicious food, it’s always amazing to see everyone, this year even more so since Maxton is a little more interactive…
It’s been some time, but I still remember it as if it was last Halloween! This was one of the more difficult shoots, as Maxton wanted no part of having the costume on. He got so frustrated with it being on, and we only got a limited number of shots. We did however get a…
We took a quick trip to Boston to visit our dear friend Doctor Adult Ringbearer Omar Parvez. The weather was shockingly nice (albeit a little humid and chilly at night) and we had a great time. Maxton even slept for half the plane ride there, and 95% of the plane ride back home! You couldn’t…
I was recently asked to shoot for a friend’s Mother as she ran the PanAm torch through Markham, and I happily obliged. It was quite the exciting day, with over 100 friends and family showing up for Zaitun. It was great to see so much support for such an incredible and impressive woman. The excitement…
A wonderful day for a swim! These were taken at the Ray Twinney Recreation Complex in Newmarket, Ontario during Maxton’s 2nd swimming class in the Starfish/Duck level. He loves being in the water, and loves even more splashing and playing with the water toys. If you are planning on taking swim classes there, or at…
Maxton had his first haircut recently, and did it like a champ! Hardly a tear – he just wanted to eat the comb the entire time. It only took 2 Arrowroot cookies and he was content. We decided to photograph the entire thing, because, IT’S ADORABLE! Here are the photos from the session. If you…
It’s been about 2 and a half years, and a lot has happened since then, but I decided to pull out the old demo reel and blow the dust off of it. I have done quite a bit of new work since this was compiled – Asia trip, Vegas, Ethiopia, not to mention a plethora…
I recently had the opportunity to shoot an event for the Superior Medical Foundation which was raising money for an amazing woman in Western Kenya named Lilian Lokiwial who is working towards changing attitudes towards female genital mutilation. It’s a gigantic task for one woman, so the Superior Medical Foundation wanted to lend a hand. While…
