The cherry & magnolia trees were blossoming all over the place on Mother's Day weekend, but I happened to start my Friday in High Park, Toronto, Ontario. Despite the fact that it's a very busy and extremely popular park, I'd say it's still one of my favourite. High Park has such a great variety of backgrounds & textures that would spark imagination of any kind of photographer: portraitist, landscape, macro, you name it. However, if you're a photographer, please keep in mind that any type of formal (read ''commissioned') photography is prohibited in High Park (permits are not available).

It was a gorgeous day filled with lots of sunlight and beautiful faces. Our amazing model, Michaela, was such a delight to work with! A Toronto-based certified make up artist, Anett, did an absolutely wonderful job by highlighting Michaela's natural beauty. Hope you enjoy the images as much as we loved making them.

Love,

Just a week ago I was literally jumping of spring-related excitement and just yesterday (and actually today as well) I had to curl right back into my winter attire. It 'felt like' minus 1 on my way back from an Introduction to Studio Lighting & Equipment workshop! Despite the weather, I had a wonderful time at the workshop. Revprint Studio 205 has a very warm and inviting atmosphere so time has flown by. We had a wonderful model - Amanda, who decided to shake things up a little and wore a beloved 30s retro look. Studio photography is a very intriguing and definitely requires a lot of technical skills & knowledge. I truly enjoyed the highly controlled environment, where I didn't have to worry about tricky noon'ish light, wind, rain or any other outdoorsy factors. Nonetheless, in my super humble opinion, 'regular' studio photography lacks much needed thrill & excitement that one may get from working on location. In other words, I most definitely do not see myself turning into a studio portraitist any time soon and simply cannot wait to finally start my wedding season in just three weeks!

P.S.: It's not my usual editing, but I figured retro look calls for vintage tones & borders.

Love,

-Eva.
