Into the Woods with the Øgaard Family

April 27, 2020

When I met this family, I was thinking how much I was going to learn from Donna and Peter who were raising three boys, just like me. And I certainly did! What I learned is to let them have fun. Boys are explorers, they like to climb trees, get into the thick of bushes, get […]

“Fall”-ing for the Sunga Family

December 7, 2018

Where do I even begin with this family? JP and I had first known “of” each other, through the circle of musician friends who loved to jam, record and song-write all for the love of music! Yet, once we actually got together for a few collabos, it was a friendship that was going to remain […]

Xander’s First Photoshoot ~ The Phillips Family

March 23, 2018

Steve and I go way back to high school days. He had (has) a deep appreciation for music — so much so he DJs — and the visual arts that he even bought a poster that we (the Visual Arts club) had made for one of our dances. Through the benefit of Facebook, we reconnected […]

Milestone Events with the Dunton Family

February 16, 2018

You already know how great Jennifer and Josh have been to me and I will be forever grateful for their friendship and giving me the honour to capture their life events. This one was another great session, now with Clark “the Shark” having turned the Big ONE! Boy, was he ever co-operative and just soo […]

Now We Are Three, A Fa-mi-ly ~ The Dunton Family

January 5, 2018

It’s so exciting to enter a home with newly-made parents, as they prepare for their child’s first photoshoot. Having gone through that process myself three times, I’m always intrigued to hear how the delivery went and all the memorable circumstances that brought this miracle of life into the world. Amanda and Jon were naturally great first-time parents […]

Growing Miracles of Love with the Zarb Family

December 21, 2017

From engagement to wedding, from maternity to first-born, Ashley and Joel have ushered me once again into the next phase of their lives … expecting no. 2! What a privilege it is to grow with clients whom I consider as friends. Since Isabella’s newborn session, I had only watched her grow through the wonderful images […]

A Day in the Life of the Garde-Ginis Family

September 29, 2017

As I was shooting Krystiana & Ben’s wedding, one of her relatives had approached me, asking about photography. If you know me by now, I can go on-and-on about photography and it’s great to chat with someone who has a profound interest in making great images. Having seen that interest, Krystiana and Ben had bought […]

Cherishing Precious Moments with The Meyer Family

September 8, 2017

You may recognize Amanda and Daniel from two occasions: Brittany & Kyle’s wedding (where Amanda was a bridesmaid) and their anniversary photoshoot. It had been some time since I had seen them in person yet it had been great to always keep in touch. Lo’ and behold, their beautiful marriage has grown into a family! […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! The George Family

April 20, 2017

My, how time flies and you get to see couples go through their life stages from their engagement, their wedding, their maternity and with God’s grace, a beautiful miracle of a child. I saw Rebekah and Stephan the moment that she said, “Yes!” in a romantic surprise proposal at Union Station. Since then, I had attended […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! The Gubisi Family

April 6, 2017

When word gets around the office that I have a photography side-gig, it’s a great rumor to be spreading! Hehe! My colleague, Carol, has always radiated her smile around the office and I was humbled when she asked me to capture the smiles of the rest of her family! After our first son was born, […]

Welcome to the world, Evan James!

December 16, 2016

Evan = Fighter-Young Warrior-God is gracious / James = son of thunder Truly, the name couldn’t have been more perfect for Evan James who arrived safe & sound, although a month early. For reasons unknown, he was growing small and the best decision by the O.B. was to have him “out” for closer and safer […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! Introducing Baby Ashton

August 12, 2016

A month and a half had passed since I had seen Jessica and Marc for their maternity session. It was music to my ears when I had seen Jessica announce the arrival of Baby Ashton! Not long after, I was humbled to get the call to meet her and capture her at this fresh stage. What […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! Introducing Baby Clark

June 17, 2016

Baby Clark had finally arrived! I was ecstatic to hear that he came safely in Jennifer and Josh’s arms. As I never want to pressure new parents of when to plan for the newborn session, the timing was just right for all of us to get together. Clark had been sleeping when I arrived and […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! Introducing Baby Isabella

April 14, 2016

She had finally come. It was surreal to get a call from Ashley and Joel about a month after their maternity session, letting me know that Baby Isabella had finally arrived! I was due to head back to their home and how wonderful it was to see these new parents beaming with joy and sharing with […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! The Douglas Family

February 25, 2016

“…and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply…” — Gen 1:28 Carissa and Patrick took the part of their wedding vows seriously when they accepted “… children lovingly from God, and (will) bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church.” Having a large family, however, was already their heart’s desire even […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! The Belo Family

January 7, 2016

Whenever I’m asked to take photos of friends whom I admire, I’m both humbled and excited to see them at the session. As I’ve gotten to know them through one of my groomsmen, Moses, who is cousins with Oliver (the husband and father of this family), I know of their many accomplishments. Aside from their children […]

A Day in a Life of Emery

July 23, 2015

This was the funnest, most creative family session yet. Edgar and I go way back…high school. He was a grade older, yet being both in the visual arts streams, he was truly someone I looked up to (and not because he was anywhere near taller than me *inside j/k!*!). From his drawings to his paintings […]

L.S. + J.R. ~ The Knot Is Tied!

December 5, 2014

Ensuring that your wife is always fully stocked with business cards is always a good thing. My wife, Michelle, had met Lauren at one of the “Mommy & Me” groups and it was so timely that they would connect. Lauren and Jason were to be married and needed some formal shots taken between the ceremony […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! ~ The Nicholas Family

August 28, 2014

Connections, connections, connections! So here’s the story of how I got connected with the Nicholas family. As I was a young budding photographer, Vanessa, the Program Director for Faith Connections, had total faith in me (no pun intended) in capturing their “Theology on Tap” events. What could a photographer ask for? Free wings, great talks […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! ~ Baby Evan’s First Photoshoot

April 21, 2014

Springtime is finally upon us: warmer weather, the sight of geese in “V” formations returning from the south and new births in practically everything — grass, flowers, crops and babies!!! I was really privileged to shoot my first baby session of this year, as Rayna and Jordan had me over to meet their first-born, Evan. […]
