tying the knots

As can be told from the lovely gap between posts...it's been a while. Many friends - old and new - have recently commented that it was nice to have photos with small stories that I loved to tell, adding something else to my portfolio. So...without a lengthy drawl of explanation - we shall continue:) 

The past year is to come. I want to re-begin with a sweet couple from the heart of a city holding my heart - Ottawa. They are one of the reasons I will hopefully continue posting my small photo adventures here - even if only for myself to read and remember in years to come.  

Ashley and Mark are that couple - who engage in their own small conversation while you're checking your settings, giving you access to paparazziing and capturing their realness. Visiting a place from their past, a sailing and tennis club along the Ottawa river, allowed us to create a few memories for their future. There is an energy about them that makes you excited for their current place in life. Hopefully, you'll see (feel) what I mean.

I spent a day in Port Hope with the super fun students of the Twinkletoes Studio of Dance and Performing Arts in Ajax. Haylie, her husband Sheldon and adorable son Nathan, along with all of the parents, made for an amazing day. I was happy to tag along and capture some of the fun they've had this year:)

ottawa: chanelle style

I spent an afternoon walking the beautiful intricate parts of my favourite city with Chanelle and her sweet, vibrant young spirit. We had a blast shooting in ordinary areas and chatting along the way. Working together, I think we managed to create a cool little collection of photos. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do:) (...the dreamcatchers steal my heart...)
