    I had so much fun photographing Sabrina’s and Ray’s winter engagement session in Downtown Toronto! I was actually hoping that it would snow, but unfortunately that did not happen. But overall, we had a blast! Those two lovebirds were having such a blast during the session, and inside it made me very happy, and at the same time very surprised! Sabrina and Ray, you guys were a lot of fun to work with, and I really can’t wait to shoot your wedding in May! Anywho, here are the photos:

    Like I mentioned in my previous post, I could not wait for my wedding season to begin. It has not begun yet, but I definitely got to shoot today. I shot my very first business portrait! Some photographers say that business portraits are so lame and boring, but I thought that it was really fun! Well, maybe it’s because I got to work with really fun clients!

    Anywho, I just wanted to post my favourite shot from this session, and I’m sure that you guys will love it too. I actually wanted to do something different, compared to the typical business portraits that you’ve seen out there. I believe that Sarah has never done this before, but after a few minutes of shooting, she felt comfortable, and she actually posed herself that way. In this image, you can definitely see confidence and a relaxed personality, and I think that’s what business portrait is all about. Representing who you are, and she definitely nailed it.

    And here’s the post processing of the shot that I really liked:

    Well, I have been very busy since last year, beginning with September 2009. Yup, that’s when I enrolled into college for Design Foundation, which is pretty learning the basics of graphic design. So far so good! I’m actually really enjoying this course, but not every classes. For instance, I absolutely hate interior and industrial design. Definitely not what I want to do for a career. Packaging, Graphic Design, and Drawing Studio are looking very fun this year, and I’m always looking forward to every class. It’s just one of those days where you simply can’t wait to go to school!

    I have also been working on a few personal projects of my own during my free time. I’ve always like working on personal projects! I think that’s when there’s no boudaries, no guidelines, no clients; you can push yourself and your creativity to the maximum.

    I really cannot wait to start shooting engagements and weddings against. Tomorrow I have a business portrait to do, this weekend I have a boudoir shoot ( that should be fun! ), and on Sunday I’m shooting a mock up wedding, but I really cannot wait for the real wedding season to begin!

    Make sure to leave a comment! I absolutely love reading comments, and I will make sure to getting back to you! :)

    The painting above was done with coffee.

    Make sure you click the image. I actually painted on the can using white paint and permanent coloured markers.

    I would like to thank everyone who made 2009 an amazing year! Thanks to fellow wedding photographers who gave me the opportunity to shoot for them, a special thanks to all my clients who gave me the chance to capture their wedding day, and thanks to my family who keep supporting me! Without any of you, none of this would have possible!
