I was photographing Katherine for her symphony headshot. She was completely open to the approach of showing something of herself that is central to her work. . . . . while not so traditional, I find this so much more compelling and interesting to see! Being happy doing this; enjoying it; the sense of warmth…
Out in the woods, in the snow. …. shooting dust cover and promotional portraits with local Author, Erin Bow. In 6 months, her novel, Plain Kate, will be released and on bookshelves. I’m expecting to greatly enjoy it . Erin’s imagination and creativity spill out in conversation too. There’s a lively interest and amusement in…

I was out doing winter portraits last week with a fun, laid back family (which I’ll blog this weekend). ….. and my introduction to them came from a corporate headshot session. I’m reaching back to just before the Perimeter Institute demolished it’s gazing pool (so glad we used it!!). Sarah conveys sharp and professional in…
I’m most happy when corporate clients don’t request a uniform look for their headshots — because the chances of that uniform background, pose and colours working well for each person are remote! Individual portraits that suit each person was what Megan and Scott from MCAP asked for in these headshots of Bart, Michelle, Nancy and…
