Happy Friday everyone! Sharing some photos from the recent winter festival that just concluded in Ottawa.  Although this wasn't my first winter in Canada's capital, it was my first Winterlude! Previous years were deemed too cold to venture out and attempt to take photos, but I'm really glad I got to go this year.  I actually managed to go to more than one location (yay!) so pat myself on the back for that :P Jacques Cartier park in Gatineau Got there a little later in the afternoon/early evening so there wasn't much natural light, but a lot of the activity areas had stadium lights so I still managed to snap up a few photos. happy family coming down from snow slide little bear ears! snow maze Rideau Canal in Ottawa I'm really glad that I work in the core of downtown and am within walking distance of the canal!  Went during my lunch break with some work buddies on two separate occasions and got a decent number of shots of people happily skat

Hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day!  So very excited to share this set of photos :) This month's post features the vivacious Amanda.  This shoot means a lot to me as Amanda was actually my first fashion photography model, many many years ago.  Seemed fitting to me that after explaining what re-invigorated my interest in fashion photography that I share a little more about what (or rather, who) got me started in the first place. Q: Tell me a little bit about your style.   A: I go through phases where I like to try new styles and I lean in certain directions. I find overall my style is very girly and classic. I stick to things that work for me and have worked over time. Cardigan - Zara Trousers - Dynamite Oxford Heels - Aldo Bag - Charles & Keith Q: Why do you like dressing up for Valentine’s day? A: I think Valentine’s day is something I enjoy dressing up for that you normally wouldn’t think to...especially if you don’t have any special plans.
