Furry Family

“Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.” (A.A. Milne, Winnie The Pooh)

We have our people family, and our furry family. And while our furry family may not speak English, it doesn't mean they are lesser than our people family. Sometimes, a furry family member can make you feel better without words of comfort, but rather a sloppy kiss to remind you that someone loves you unconditionally and eternally.

Jenny & Drew

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" (William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream)

Here are some of the edited pictures from the adventure of shooting pictures of my friends Jenny & Drew. What I love about them: Anything goes.

Joanne & Nathan

"To love would be an awfully big adventure." (J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan)

I had the pleasure of shooting engagement pictures for Joanne and Nathan. We went to a couple different places in Prince Edward County. They were troopers and did every weird idea that came to my brilliant head, but also fought the rain :)

It was a great time with an excellent couple.

Home

"There's no place like home." (Frank L. Baum, The Wizard of Oz)

A few weeks ago, my father asked me to go around and take pictures of Prince Edward County for his real estate website. It was fun, but more importantly it reminded me why I loved PEC so much. Such a beautiful island.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

"You be careful. People in masks cannot be trusted." (William Goldman, The Princess Bride)

So this manifested from my friends Halloween costume. Basically, with makeup we made them look like marionette dolls, but then creepitized them by adding that dose of horror. And yes, these are real people :)

Gardens & Wild Flowers

Sometimes I find myself staring at flowers, gardens, weeds for hours on end. I find them interesting. How can something so beautiful, so unique (or even so poisonous) come from a single seed? And how can one flower come from one seed, come in so many different colours?

"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."  (Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden)

Travel

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." (Dr. Seuss, Oh! The Places You'll Go)

As I get older, and this may sound silly, I find myself living life as Dr. Seuss says we should. I am environmentally kind, I mean what I say and I say what I mean, I am not discouraged by the misconceptions of others... and more importantly, I see the world.
