It pays to take a second look!

So while I was sorting some paperwork over the weekend, I came across the Festivals & Events in Ontario guide that I received a few weeks ago, where my photography was featured in the June events section for the Oakville Waterfront Festival.

I'm not sure why, but I never noticed that this photo was featured as one of two festival photos on the cover.Thanks for reading!

Sophie's growing up! And is apparently ready for the Hollywood circuit by the looks of this photo...

Festivals and Events in Ontario: Guidebook

Last autumn, I filled out a series of paperwork to release some of the photography I shot during last year's Oakville Waterfront Festival. Imagine my surprise when I got a copy of the new guidebook for Festival and Events in Ontario and realized that one of my photos was used to showcase the Waterfront Festival in the June section.

This is what it looks like in the guide:

And this is the full-frame photo:

Hamilton 24 Hour Film Festival Gala

I had the chance to be one of the photographers for the gala screening of the Hamilton 24 Hour Film Festival earlier this month, and it was a great opportunity. There's always some issues with shooting a gala because everything changes all the time but there were some great moments throughout the evening. Here's a little sneak peak.

One of the photos taken on the red carpet...

The three judges for the evening, including actor Yannick Bisson.

And one of the evening's winners...

This was a very fast, last minute shoot to put together a selection of head shots.  We shot at the Crown Plaza in Hamilton, which was a stunning place to work.

Baby Sophie has arrived!

I got to visit with this lovely little girl just before she turned one month old...
