Last week I was contacted by Randall Verrall of Carriage Trade Custom Jewellery. She also happens to be a close friend of mine who designs and creates classy jewellery for any occasion. Each piece is crafted with amazing detail and exceptional care. She gave me the opportunity to expand my portfolio by capturing these images. We had a great time!
Thank you to the models who were so patient with the numerous outfit changes and ordering around! You girls were fantastic to work with :)
And a huge thanks to Melanie & Andy for providing us with a gorgeous place to photograph in! They are the generous and courteous owners of London House Bed & Breakfast, located in Guelph, Ontario.
Carriage Trade will be appearing on The Wedding Ring (Kitchener-Waterloo) – watch for it!
A mid-morning photowalk with a couple Flickr/Twitter friends. We met up at an old church cemetery in North Waterloo. It was cold, like -15 degrees Celsius. I was only out shooting for half an hour when my toes starting going numb in my boots. Crazy! The other guys were there for an hour and by 9am, we decided to book it to Tim Hortons.
The oldest headstone I saw was from the 1700s. Just amazing to see them still standing in this yard, somewhat legible. I definitely want to go back in the summer for a green grass contrast.
I processed my photos with a cold tone and black & white; I think it suits the theme of these images.

Hard to believe we’ve already started a new year and a new decade… man oh man.
I decided to capture a self portrait today… this pretty much sums up how I’m feeling these days: Happy.
Happy New Year!
I wanted to post a 2008 year in review last year, but I completely forgot! So, here is my 2009 in photos (January – June for now):
Stay tuned for July-December!

I had the incredible opportunity to capture the ever-emotional Olympic Torch Relay in Stratford, Ontario, on Day 59 (December 27, 2009). My friend’s step-mom, Cathy Dyson, was the first runner.

I even got to hold the torch!!
Thank you so much, Dyson family, for inviting me to be a part of this amazing day for you! It was a real blessing to be that close to witness a little bit of history!
