YAYs!

Although I'm not working fulltime, I am so super busy! I'm shooting freelance work which keeps me busy, but also, I'm moving in about 10 days.

VERY excited! Our place right now is way too small..not to mention the ceilings are too low to shoot much in, so hopefully our new place will allow me a spot to set up for freelance work.
After searching for weeks for the perfect apartment (within a strict budget) we found SUCH a gem. Half the price of most places with the same square-ft, it is in a historical building, and it is currently being completely renovated before our move-in date. New kitchen & bath with all new appliances. FABULOUS. Its given me to buy a new couch, carpet, and all sorts of wonderful things to decorate the new place with.

I'll be posting photos on my facebook of the reno progress, because as of right now, it's such a mess! They just finished the electrical, and drywall, so the process is almost finished.

In other news,

Christmas was great! The best gift of all being my new Canon 5D Mark II that I gave to myself. Now I'm shooting mostly with my 70-200mm L series lens, and the magic is in the photos! I haven't shot any creatives with that baby yet, only portfolio shoots/headshots and a wedding, but once the move is over, Im hoping to start planning new creative shoots.

Oh, and my new website is STILL not finished unfortunately, there are so many finishing touches to put on it, it's taking longer than expected. BUT when it does launch which will be (VERY very very soon) it will be FanTASIC. So it's worth the wait.

That's it for now..... any new deviations that I post on here will be from shoots with clients... weddings/headshots etc.... but I'd love to know what you think, your comments are always appreciated!

Happy New Year!

Winter always gets me down, but I wasn't expecting to feel the effects of very little sunlight and harsh temperatures quite this early in the season...

but anyhow, I've been a bit down lately. I'm working full-time editing photos at a studio, and it's a good job and even in my field, but it lacks variety. So I've been trying to keep busy shooting creatives for my portfolio whenever I get the chance, and it's been going well. The last two shoots I've done with Kristen have been totally beneficial to my book. I'll be posting more photos from my latest shoot with a Czech girl named Anna, who has the most amazing figure I've ever worked with on a shoot.....

so stay tuned for those photos.

My re-vamped website should be launched in the first half of December, I'll be sure to let everyone know when it is.....but for now I've created a facebook "Page" where you can "Become a Fan" and get recent news and photo updates. I'll also be posting some behind the scenes shots there for you to check out. So yes, go here and join: [link]

Thanks to those who have sent me wonderfully kind messages over the last few weeks, it keeps me happy during this gross weather

I am looking forward to the next month so much! Here's what I'm up to:

September 4th, 5th & 6th - I'll be officially shooting for CP ([link]) during
the Toronto International Film Festival

September 7th - I'm shooting some creatives in NYC with Marina Buckley
(MM URL: [link]) ... super psyched!

September 8th & 9th - I'll be in New York shooting for FASHION Magazine during Fashion
Week

September 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th - I'll be back in Toronto shooting for CP again

Suddenly I'm a paparazzo! Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to snap some nice celebrity shots, and all the papers will scoop those shots up super fast. We'll see!

ALSO! I have a friend from back home who I'll be working with during next month to finally complete my website! And she's fantastic at what she does, so I'm so beyond thrilled that she's going to design and code everything for me.

Life is pretty much the best it's ever been at the moment! Maybe it's all the Lucky Charms I'm eating :wink:
