The Leap of Faith:

Given today being a Leap Day, i decided to Name this post "Leap of Faith" not only is it fitting but  this story is truly a leap of  faith.This photo shoot is of Arwen my true first client. I had been shooting a lot of my friends kids testing out styles and locations, scenarios, what kids tolerated for how long, how could i coax them into uncontrived poses and still create a story out of it all, instead of a series of images that were good to look at. I wanted to approach it with the same principle as shooting a fashion shoot for an editorial spread only challenge now was that i was working with children and not  these tall professional models. it was things to adjust too and nothing too hard to overcome.So with ideas in place, wardrobe pick out, location selected (my backyard) my best stylist and hair and make-up artist in tow we set out on our editorial shoot. and voila! My first Editorial portraiture as i like to call it.

The Beginning,The Genesis, The Start:

Although I had been shooting for almost 4yrs already here in Canada this was really the beginning of a career for me. I had been shooting fashion and commercial photography for almost 4yrs already and  i was still trying to scratch a noticeable mark in the Toronto fashion industry and although I had turned heads here and there I still wasn't quite there yet.Just when i was starting to get somewhere in the industry i got pregnant. Dont get me wrong it was all planned i wanted to be a mother and looked forward to it but, little did i know that it was an end to the career i was struggling hard to make and a beginning to a much fun and rewarding one that i would embark on. these images above and below are the spark to the kindle of my burning desire for the career i was trying to make. thanks to my beautiful muse and daughter I love dearly never have i found such a rewarding job. I hope that you will enjoy the journey of our story  .
